What determines how much real responds to changes in the price level along the short-run aggregate supply curve?
Short Answer
As the result,a modification in the optimal price level may force the to react quickly.

How do you suppose that the increase in Japan's consumption tax rate affected the nation's equilibrium price level, other things being equal?
Why do you suppose that the effects of the minimumwage-generated aggregate supply shock in Puerto Rico have persisted for several years? (Hint: The minimum wage persistently has exceeded market clearing wages for a significant fraction of the Puerto Rican labor force.)
Discuss the essential features of Keynesian economics and explain the short-run aggregate supply curve
For each question that follows, suppose that the economy begins at point A. Identify which of the other points on the diagram-point B, C, D, or E-could represent a new short-run equilibrium after the described events take place and move the economy away from point A. Briefly explain your answers.

a. Most workers in this nation's economy are union members, and unions have successfully negotiated large wage boosts. At the same time, economic conditions suddenly worsen abroad, reducing real GDP and disposable income in other nations of the world.
b. A major hurricane has caused short-term halts in production at many firms and created major bottlenecks in the distribution of goods and services that had been produced prior to the storm. At the same time, the nation's central bank has significantly pushed up the rate of growth of the nation's money supply.
c. A strengthening of the value of this nation's currency in terms of other countries' currencies affects both the SRAS curve and the AD curve.
