Some politicians have suggested tying the minimum wage to the consumer price index (CPI). Using the AD/AS diagram, what effects would this policy most likely have on output, the price level, and employment?
Review the problem in the Work It Out titled
"Interpreting the AD/AS Model." Like the information provided in that feature, Table shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price
level for the imaginary country of Xurbia.

a. Plot the AD/AS diagram from the data. Identify
the equilibrium.
b. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax
cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 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?
How is the natural rate of unemployment illustrated in an AD/AS model?
Suppose the U.S. Congress passes significant immigration reform that makes it more difficult for foreigners to come to the United States to work. Use the AD/AS model to explain how this would affect the equilibrium level of GDP and the price level.
How is recession illustrated in an AD/AS model?
