3. Draw a graph of the aggregate expenditure model, and label three points: the economy in equilibrium (point a), the economy where unplanned inventories are increasing (point B), and the economy where unplanned inventories are decreasing (point C). Be sure to label your graph fully and carefully. What would we expect producers to do if the realized the economy was at point B? What about if they realized the economy was at point C? Explain.

Suppose the economy is in a long-run equilibrium. a. Draw a diagram to illustrate the state of the economy. Be sure to show aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply. b. Now suppose that a stock market crash causes aggregate demand to fall. Use your diagram to show what happens to output and the price level in the short run. What happens to the unemployment rate? c. Use the sticky-wage theory of aggregate supply to explain what will happen to output and the price level in the long run (assuming no change in policy). What role does the expected price level play in this adjustment? Be sure to illustrate your analysis in a graph.
