MGMT 673 Problem Set 5For each of the following economic conditions, place an X in the table to indicate the appropriate range in the Aggregate Supply CurveConditionKeynesianIntermediateClassicalUnemployment is above the historical averageThe nation’s factories are running at capacityAny increase in GDP will be accompanied by high inflationThe nation is suffering through a severe recessionA mid-point in the business cycle expansion phaseGDP can increase without an increase in the Price IndexMany exogenous factors can cause a shift in the Aggregate Supply Curve. For each of the following factors, place an X in the table to indicate how the AS curve would shift.Factor AS shift right (increase in AS)AS shift left(decrease in AS)World oil prices increase substantiallyEnvironmental Protection Agency enacts broad pollution restrictionsBusiness taxes are reducedInternal combustion engine fuel efficiencies are greatly increasedAdverse winter weather persists for months more the normalNew restrictions slow immigrationFederal minimum wage is increased by 30%Earlier we learned that Demand, which we now call Aggregate Demand, is comprised of 4 components: Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government spending (G), and Net Exports (NE). Any exogenous factor that increases any of the component(s) will also increase Aggregate Demand. For each of the following, place an X to indicate the component affected and an R (increase) or and L (decrease) to show whether the AD curve shifts Right or Left. Consider only the primary effect.
