In the Classical​ Model, an increase in aggregate demand will result in
answer
an increase in the price level and no change in output.
question
Which of the following is a possible explanation for sticky​ prices?
answer
Labor contracts cause wages to be fixed over the contract period.
question
The Keynesian model argues that prices are sticky. One reason supporting this argument is that
answer
nominal wages are inflexible downwards.
question
Since the nominal wage is deemed​ inflexible, a decrease in aggregate demand causes firms to
answer
reduce their workforce.
question
Thus, according to the Keynesian model full employment is
answer
possible but not guaranteed
question
An important difference between the Classical Model and the Keynesian Model is that the
answer
Keynesians believe that the aggregate supply curve is horizontal in the short run. The Classical model assumes prices are flexible so that the aggregate supply curve is vertical and the economy is always at full employment.
question
What did Keynes mean when he said that prices are​ sticky?
answer
Prices, especially the price of​ labor, are inflexible downward.
question
If the prices were​ sticky, according to​ Keynes, this would then imply that the
answer
short-run aggregate supply is horizontal.
question
The Modern Keynesian​ short-run aggregate supply curve is best described by which of the following​ statements?
answer
It is very flat at low levels of real​ GDP; increases slightly as real GDP​ grows; and becomes very steep as real GDP surpasses full employment.
Your answer is correct.
B.
question
In modern Keynesian​ analysis, a decrease in aggregate demand will result in
answer
a decrease in both the price level and output.
question
The​ long-run aggregate supply curve will not shift if there is a change in
answer
the price level.
question
All of the following will shift the​ short-run aggregate supply and the​ long-run aggregate supply except for
answer
a temporary change in input prices.
question
The​ short-run effect of this change on the economy is
answer
a leftward shift of the SRAS​ curve, and​ cost-push inflation.
