What is the wealth effect?
What assumptions cause the immediate-short-run aggregate supply curve to be horizontal? Why is the long-run aggregate supply curve vertical? Explain the shape of the short-run aggregate supply curve. Why is the short-run curve relatively flat to the left of the full-employment output and relatively steep to the right?
Why does a reduction in aggregate demand in the actual economy reduce real output, rather than the price level? Why might a full-strength multiplier apply to a decrease in aggregate demand?
Label each of the following descriptions as being either an immediate-short-run aggregate supply curve, a short-run aggregate supply curve, or a long-run aggregate supply curve.
A vertical line.
The price level is fixed.
Output prices are flexible, but input prices are fixed.
A horizontal line.
An upsloping curve.
Output is fixed.
Answer the following questions on the basis of the following three sets of data for the country of North Vaudeville:
| (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 |
Which set of data illustrates aggregate supply in the immediate short-run in North Vaudeville? The short-run? The long run?
Assuming no change in hours of work, if real output per hour of work increases by 10 percent, what will be the new levels of real GDP in the right column of A? Do the new data reflect an increase in aggregate supply or do they indicate a decrease in aggregate supply?
