Answer to Problem 1TY

The supply curve has been explained.

Explanation of Solution

When the supply curve is vertical, the change in price adjusts any types of fluctuation in growth of aggregate demand, which is explained in the below shown figure. In the figure xaxis gives the measure of output while yaxis provides the price level.

The output supply is fixed, for which the supply curve will be vertical. There is a shift in the demand curve from D1 to D2 according to increase in the aggregate demand. Also, the price level increases from P1 to P2 with the increase in demand, and the supply curve is vertical. There will be no change in the output, which remains at OQ level.

Suppose that government decides to support the firms for their investments in research and the development.Assuming this support increases productivity in the economy, use aggregate demand and supply analysis to predict the short-run and long-run effects on inflation and output. Show these effects on a graph and explain the results in detail.
Suppose that the inflation rate remains constant while output increases and the unemployment rate decreases. Using an aggregate demand and supply graph, show how this scenario is possible.
I can't find anything to back up that a decrease in aggregate demand causes cost push inflation. My textbook does mention the increase in aggregate supply. I thought that a decrease in price generally meant deflation? And doesn't the decrease (left shift) in aggregate demand result in lower prices?
