What is the Keynesian zone of the SRAS curve? How much is the price level likely to change in the Keynesian zone?
Table 11.4 describes Santher's economy.
| Price Level | AD | AS |
| 50 | 1000 | 250 |
| 60 | 950 | 580 |
| 70 | 900 | 750 |
| 80 | 850 | 850 |
| 90 | 800 | 900 |
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?
What is Say’s law?
The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table 11.3 shows.
| Price Level | AD | AS |
| 100 | 700 | 200 |
| 120 | 600 | 325 |
| 140 | 500 | 500 |
| 160 | 400 | 570 |
| 180 | 300 | 620 |
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 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium.
e. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?
A policymaker claims that tax cuts led the economy out of a recession. Can we use the AD/AS diagram to show this?
