(b) Increased job opportunities in the Greater Bay Area cause many people to leave Macao, explain whether the event affect the AD, AS, both or neither? Use the appropriate diagram to illustrate.

Review the problem shown in the Work It Out titled "Interpreting the AD/AS Model." Like the information provided in that feature, Table 24.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia. Price Level AD AS 110 700 600 120 690 640 130 680 680 140 670 720 150 660 740 160 650 760 170 640 770 Table24.2 Price Level: AD/AS Plot the AD/AS diagram from the data shown. Identify the equilibrium. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level? What do you think will happen to employment?

2. Find an article in a major business publication, (for example, the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, the Harvard Business Review, Forbes) that describes an event that may affect the U.S. price level and real GDP. • Draw an initial set of AD and AS curves and determine which curve(s) will be affected and in which direction it will shift as a result of the AD/AS factors or policies. What are the factors or policies? Predict what will happen to price level and real GDP and explain your answer. All graphs must be properly labelled. Each axis must be correctly labelled, and the horizontal axis must indicate the nature of the graph itself.

The table below shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia. Price Level AD AS 110 700 600 120 690 640 130 680 680 140 670 720 150 660 740 160 650 760 170 640 770  Plot the AD/AS diagram from the data shown (Don't have to show graph but do draw it to help you answer the questions). a.  Identify the equilibrium. b.  Imagine that as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. c.  How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level? What do you think will happen to employment?

Please refer to the diagram below representing a hypothetical economy. In this case, AD1 represents a "before" curve and AD2 represents an "after' curve. Imagine that you have lived through this scenario. What have you likely observed? Prices O Prices are higher. SRAS1 O All the above. AD1 O The economy is in recession. O Unemployment has increased. RGDP AD2

How is recession illustrated in an AD/AS model?

What are some of the ways in which exports and imports can affect the AD/AS model?

Review the problem in the Work It Out titled Interpreting the AD/AS Model. Like the information provided in that feature, Table 24.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia. Plot the AD/AS diagram from the data. Identify the equilibrium. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level? What do you think will happen to employment?

How is pressure for inflationary price increases shown in an AD/AS model?

If new government regulations require firms to use a cleaner technology that is also less efficient than what they previously used, what would the effect be on output, the price level, and employment using the AD/AS diagram?
