Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has the potential to significantly increase the amount of natural gas produced in the United States. If a large percentage of factories and utility companies use natural gas, what will happen to output, the price level, and employment as fracking becomes more widely used?
Economists expect that as the labor market continues to tighten going into the latter part of that workers should begin to expect wage increases in and . Assuming this occurs and it was the only development in the labor market that year, how would this affect the AS curve? What if it was also accompanied by an increase in worker productivity?
How is pressure for inflationary price increases shown in an AD/AS model?
The imaginary country of Harris Island has the
aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table shows.

a. Plot the AD/AS diagram. Identify the equilibrium.
b. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low?
c. Would you expect concern about inflation in this
economy to be relatively high or low?
d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by at every price level.
Identify the new aggregate equilibrium.
e. How will the shift in AD affect the original
output, price level, and employment?
Table describes Santher's economy.

a. Plot the AD/AS curves and identify the equilibrium.
b. Would you expect unemployment in this
economy to be relatively high or low?
c. Would you expect prices to be a relatively large
or small concern for this economy?
d. Imagine that input prices fall and so AS shifts
to the right by units. Identify the new
equilibrium.
e. How will the shift in AS affect the original
output, price level, and employment?
