Question

7 a. Assume that the price level is flexible upward but not downward. b. Assume that the economy is currently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how will each of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real output in the short run? a. An increase in aggregate demand ? The price level does not change, but real output increases. ? The price level rises and real output decreases. ? The price level rises rapidly, and there is little change in real output. ? The price level does not change, but real output declines. ? The price level increases somewhat, with a relatively large change in output.

Assume that $(a)$ the price level is flexible upward but not downward and $(b)$ the economy is currently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how will each of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real output in the short run? a. An increase in aggregate demand. b. A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregate demand. c. Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply. d. A decrease in aggregate demand. e. An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase in aggregate supply.

00:01 In this question, you have to take into account two assumptions.
00:04 The price level is flexible upward, but not downward.
00:08 The economy is currently operating at its full employment output.
00:12 Now, we need to determine changes in the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real output in the short run in various cases.
00:21 In part a, an increase in aggregate demand.
00:25 In this case, the price level rises rapidly and little change in real output is seen.
00:36 In part b, we have a decrease in aggregate supply with no change in aggregate demand.
00:43 In this case, the price level rises and real output decreases...
