Theme 11. Macroeconomic equilibrium (1 hour)
The seminars
The purpose of the lesson:
- To study the factors affecting the dynamics of aggregate demand and aggregate supply
- Review the macroeconomic equilibrium in the model of "AD-AS"
Topics for discussion:
1. Aggregate demand, price and non-price factors that affect the dynamics of aggregate demand.
2. Aggregate supply, price and non-price factors that affect the dynamics of aggregate supply.
3. General model of macroeconomic equilibrium.
Questions and tasks:
1. Initially, the economy was in a state of full employment, potential GDP was 3,000 billion AD curve equation is of the form y = 3980 - 700 R. The fall in investment demand curve shifted the AD so that in the short run equilibrium GDP was 2,860 billion. What will be in this case, the coordinates of the equilibrium in the long run?
2. Economy, originally located at potential output, experienced negative supply shock, in which the price level rose by 10%. The original equation is of the form AD curve Y = 2500 - 250r. Potential GDP is 2000 billion dollars What are the coordinates of the short-term equilibrium in the economy, established after shock?
True / false.
3. Wealth effect, the effect of foreign purchases and the effect of interest rate changes explain the aggregate demand curve.
4. Inflation expectations encourage people to increase consumer spending in this period, which is reflected in the shift the aggregate demand curve to the right.
5. Increase in oil prices leads to a reduction in aggregate supply and reflected a shift left / up curve AS.
6. The increase in the velocity of money in the economy will be reflected graphically right shift of the demand curve aggregate supply.
7. In the long-run output in the economy is determined by the stock of capital, labor and the level of technology.
