A. Price fall; output rises
B. Price fall; output falls
C. Price rise; output fall
D. Price rise; output rise
Which of the following statements is true regarding the long-run aggregate supply curve? The long-run aggregate supply cruve ?
A. Is vertical because an equal change in all prices and wages leaves output unaffected
B. is positively sloped because price expectations and wages tend to be fixed is the long run
C. shifts right when the government raises the minimum wage
D. shifts left when the natural rate of unemployment falls
Refers to Exhibit 4. Suppose the economy is operating in a recession such as point B in Exhibit 4. If policy makers wished to move output to its long run natural rate they should attempt to ?
A. Shift aggregate demand to the left
B. Shift short run aggregate supply to the left
C. shift aggregate demand to the right
D. shift short-run aggregate supply to the right
Suppose the economy is initially in long run equilibrium Then suppose there is a drought that destroys much of the wheat crop if policymakers allow the economy to adjust to long-run equilibrium on its own, according to the model to aggregate demand and aggregate supply what happens to prices and output in the long run ?
A. Output rises; prices are unchanged from the initial value
B. Output and the price level are unchanged from their initial values
C. Output falls; prices are unchanged from the initial value
D. Prices fall; output is unchanged from its initial value
Suppose the price level falls but suppliers only notice that the price of their particular product has fallen Thinking there has been a fall in the relative price of their product they cut back on production, This is a demonstration of the ?
A. misperceptions theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
B. classical dichotomy theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
C. sticky price theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
D. sticky wage theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
Which of the following is not a reason why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward ?
A. The exchange-rate effect
B. The wealth effect
C. The classical dichotomy/monetary neutrality effect
D. The interest-rate effect
Suppose the economy is initially is long run equilibrium Then suppose there is a drought that destroys much of the wheat crop According to the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply, what happens of prices and output in the short run ?
A. Price rise; output falls
B. Price fall; output rises
C. Price rise; output rises
D. Price fall; output falls
Which of the following events shifts the short run aggregate supply curve to the right ?
A. a decrease in the money supply
B. a drop-in oil prices
C. an increase in government spending on military equipment
D. None of these answers
E. an increase in price expectations
According to the wealth effect aggregate demand slopes downward (negatively) because ?

B. lower prices decrease the value of money holding and consumers spending decrease
C. lower prices reduce money holding increase lending, interest rates fall and investment spending increase

Policy makers are said to “accommodate” an adverse supply shock if they ?
A. fail to respond to the adverse supply shock and allow the economy to adjust on its own.
B. respond to the adverse supply shock by decreasing aggregate demand which lower prices
C. respond to the adverse supply shock by decreasing short run aggregate supply
D. respond to the adverse supply shock by increasing aggregate demand, which further raises prices
