Suppose a decrease in aggregate demand shifts the economy from equilibrium to \( P_{1} \) and \( Y_{1} \). a. Which of the following evens would ikely couse the decrease in aggregate demand? Gross investment increases as capital units become fully urilized. 2) Personal consumotion falls as workers become concerned about future emplayment prospects. O imponts decrease due to increased foreign prices. b. A decrease in aggregate demand is of policy concern due to the increbse in the O productivany of workers. O price level. - unemployment rate. c. Which polcy action should the federal government enacr? Odecrease real interest rates Tincrease government spending on intrastructure Oncrease personal inceme tax rates d. The size of the policy action should result in an intersection of \( A D \) and \( A S \) that is less than culput \( Y^{*} \) greater than output \( Y \). equal to output \( r \).

Step 1
The event that would likely cause the decrease in aggregate demand is "Personal consumption falls as workers become concerned about future employment prospects." This is because aggregate demand is the total demand for all goods and services in an economy, and Show more…

A widespread fear by consumers of an impending economic depression. b. A new national tax on producers based on the value added between the costs of the inputs and the revenue received from their output. c. A reduction in interest rates at each price level. d. A major increase in spending for health care by the federal government. e. The general expectation of coming rapid inflation. f. The complete disintegration of OPEC, causing oil prices to fall by one-half. g. A 10 percent across-the-board reduction in personal income tax rates. h.
