Suppose Mexico, one of our largest trading partners and purchaser of a large number of our exports, goes into a recession. Use the AD/AS model to determine the likely impact on our equilibrium GDP and price level.
Does Say’s law apply more accurately in the long run or the short run? What about Keynes’ law?
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?
What is the neoclassical zone of the SRAS curve? How much is the output level likely to change in the neoclassical zone?
Explain why the short-run aggregate supply curve might be fairly flat in the Keynesian zone of the SRAS curve. How might we tell if we are in the Keynesian zone of the AS?
