How does aggregate demand effect economic growth?
Suppose the economy is initially at the potential output and the quantity of aggregate output supplied increases. What information would you need to determine whether this was due to a movement along the SRAS curve or a shift of the LRAS curve?
Determine the effect on short-run aggregate supply for each of the following events. Explain whether it represents a movement along the SRAS curve or a shift of the SRAS curve.
a. A rise in the consumer price index (CPI) leads producers to increase output.
b. A fall in the price of oil leads producers to increase output.
c. A rise in legally mandated retirement benefits paid to workers leads producers to reduce output.

In contrast, after 2007, auto loan rates fell to their lowest levels in history; car sales also declined. Explain why. (Hint: Examine the connection between inflation and interest rates on loans.)
