Consider Figure 11-10. Suppose that the real interest rate suddenly declines for reasons that do not relate to the price level. What happens to the nation's aggregate demand curve? In the short run, will the nation experience an inflationary gap or a recessionary gap? Explain.
Between early and late , total planned expenditures by . households substantially increased in response to an increase in the quantity of money in circulation. Explain, from a short-run Keynesian perspective, the predicted effects of this event on the equilibrium price level and equilibrium . real. Be sure to discuss the spending gap that the Keynesian model indicates would result in the short run.
If the credit spread were to widen suddenly and thereby signal weakened credit-market sentiment, would this event foreshadow a future positive or negative aggregate demand shock? Explain.
Consider an open economy in which the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run. Firms in this nation do not import raw materials or any other productive inputs from abroad, but foreign residents purchase many of the nation's goods and services. What is the most likely short run effect on this nation's economy if there is a significant downturn in economic activity in other nations around the world?
