Shift the graph to illustrate the effect of a decrease in economy-wide money wages. Price level (P) Real GDP (Y) Potential GDP AD AS What happens to the equilibrium price level and real GDP in the short run? The price level decreases, and real GDP increases. Both the price level and real GDP decrease. Both the price level and real GDP increase. The price level increases, and real GDP decreases.

Use a graph to show the effects of monetary policy to reduce inflation and move an economy back to potential real GDP. Explain what happens to aggregate demand, real GDP, and the price level. Price level LRAS SRAS AD, Real GDP. Answer: If the economy is experiencing inflation, it is currently at point potential real GDP (n). Monetary policy will shift the aggregate demand curve to the left, reducing real GDP and the price level until it reaches potential real GDP at point.

Short-Run Graph Long-Run Graph LRAS LRAS SRAS AC Short-Run Equilibrium Aggregate Price Level Long-Run Equilibrium AD Real GDP In the short-run, the price level increases. In the long-run, the price level and GDP stay the same. In the long-run, GDP increases.
The graphs illustrate an initial equilibrium for the economy. Suppose that the government cuts taxes. Use the graphs to show the new positions of aggregate demand (AD), short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) in both the short run and the long run, as well as the short-run and long-run equilibriums resulting from this change. Then, indicate what happens to the price level and real GDP (or aggregate output) in the short run and in the long run. Short-run graph: LRAS, SRAS, AD Long-run graph: LRAS, SRAS Aggregate price level Aggregate price level Short-run equilibrium Real GDP Real GDP In the short run, the price level stays the same and real GDP increases. In the long run, the price level increases and real GDP increases.
