In your view, is the economy currently operating in the Keynesian, intermediate or neoclassical portion of the economy’s aggregate supply curve?
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?
Many financial analysts and economists eagerly await the press releases for the reports on the home price index and consumer confidence index. What would be the effects of a negative report on both of these? What about a positive report?
How is pressure for inflationary price increases shown in an AD/AS model?
Suppose concerns about the size of the federal budget deficit led the U.S. Congress to cut all funding for research and development for ten years. Assuming this has an impact on technology growth, what does the AD/AS model predict would be the likely effect on equilibrium GDP and the price level?
