Refer to the data in the table that accompanies problem 2. Suppose that the present equilibrium price level and level of real GDP are 100 and \(225, and that data set B represents the relevant aggregate supply schedule for the economy.
| (A) | (B) | (C) | |||
| Price Level | Real GDP | Price Level | Real GDP | Price Level | Real GDP |
| 110 | 275 | 100 | 200 | 110 | 225 |
| 100 | 250 | 100 | 225 | 100 | 225 |
| 95 | 225 | 100 | 250 | 95 | 225 |
| 90 | 200 | 100 | 275 | 90 | 225 |
In early 2001 investment spending sharply declined in the United States. In the 2 months following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, consumption also declined. Use AD-AS analysis to show the two impacts on real GDP.
What were the monetary and fiscal policy responses to the Great Recession? What were some of the reasons suggested for why those policy responses didn鈥檛 seem to have as large an effect as anticipated on unemployment and GDP growth?
Distinguish between "real-balances effect" and "wealth effect," as the terms are used in this chapter. How does each relate to the aggregate demand curve?
Use shifts of the AD and AS curves to explain (a) the U.S. experience of strong economic growth, full employment, and price stability in the late 1990s and early 2000s and (b) how a strong negative wealth effect from, say, a precipitous drop in house prices could cause a recession even though productivity is surging.
