The short-run equilibrium output level is $6 trillion, and the economy is operating in a long-run equilibrium. As a result, equilibrium exists in the labor market of this economy.

Step 1
This means that the economy is producing goods and services at a level where aggregate demand equals aggregate supply. This equilibrium output level is determined by the intersection of the aggregate demand curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve. Show more…

The economy of Newland is in short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. The current real output is $400 billion, and the full employment output is $500 billion. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. (a) Is the economy experiencing a recessionary output gap or an inflationary output gap? Explain.

How does immigration of workers affect labor supply, labor demand, the marginal product of labor, and the equilibrium wage?

Suppose the economy is currently in short-run equilibrium at point L. In this case, the economy is producing at an output level above its potential output. At current prices and wage levels, real wages are above what firms and workers expected when they agreed on wage contracts. In the long run, if the price level and the nominal wage are both flexible, wages will rise, which will cause the SRAS curve to shift to the right. Assuming the other two curves do not change, the economy will reach a new equilibrium at an output of $5 trillion and a price level of 60.
