How is cyclical unemployment illustrated in an AD/AS model?
What impact would a decrease in the size of the labor force have on GDP and the price level according to the AD/AS model?
The short-run aggregate supply curve was constructed assuming that as the price of outputs increases, the price of inputs stays the same. How would an increase in the prices of important inputs, like energy, affect aggregate supply?
Why might it be important for policymakers to know which in zone of the SRAS curve the economy is?
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?
