Suppose the Federal Reserve begins to increase the supply of money at an increasing rate. What impact would that have on GDP, unemployment, and inflation?
Do neoclassical economists believe in Keynes’ law or Say’s law?
If the economy is operating in the Keynesian zone of the SRAS curve and aggregate demand falls, what is likely to happen to real GDP?
How would a dramatic increase in the value of the stock market shift the AD curve? What effect would the shift have on the equilibrium level of GDP and the price level?
Review the problem in the Work It Out titled "Interpreting the AD/AS Model." Like the information provided in that feature, Table 11.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia.
| Price Level | AD | AS |
| 110 | 700 | 600 |
| 120 | 690 | 640 |
| 130 | 680 | 680 |
| 140 | 670 | 720 |
| 150 | 660 | 740 |
| 160 | 650 | 760 |
| 170 | 640 | 770 |
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 50 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?
