For each of the following events, 1) state whether there is movement along the IS curve or a shift, and 2) the direction of the shift or movement along. If the IS curve isn’t affected, be sure to state that too.
1) The real interest rate decreases
2) Firms begin to expect lower future profits
3) Government spending increases
4) Real GDP (output) increases
1) there will be an downward movement along the curve. this is because there is a negative relationship between the interest rate on the real GDP along the IS curve. Therefore when interest rate decreases, real GDP increases.
2) this is unlikely to shift the IS curve to the left. When there is lower future profitability expected, investment declines and this decreases aggregate expenditure. As a result real GDP declines. Goods market has a lower equilibrium and therefore IS curve shifts left
3) this will increase aggregate expenditure and therefore, IS curve shifts to the right
4) there will be a downward movement along the curve
For each of the following events, 1) state whether there is movement along the IS curve...
State whether each of the following events will result in a movement along the demand curve for McDonald's Big Mac hamburgers or whether it will cause the curve to 1.9 shift. If the demand curve shifts, indicate whether it will shift to the left or to the right and draw a graph to illus- trate the shift. a. The price of Burger King's Whopper hamburger declines. b. McDonald's distributes coupons for $1.00 off the pur- chase of a Big Mac....
State whether each of the following events will result in a movement along the market supply curve of agricultural labor in the United States or whether it will cause the market supply curve of labor to shift. If the supply curve shifts, indicate whether it will shift to the left or to the right. A decline in the agricultural wage rate will result in a movement along the labor supply curve. A decrease in wages outside of agriculture will O...
State whether each of the following events will result in a movement along the demand curve for Burger King’s chicken-burger in Halifax or whether it will cause the demand curve to shift either to the right or to the left. Support your argument by drawing a graph to illustrate the shift. 1.1 The price of Burger King’s chicken burger declines. 1.2 The Nova Scotia economy enters a period of rapid growth in incomes. 1.3 A&W claims that they serve beef...
If firms' expectations about the future become pessimistic so that they think future profits will be lower, then A. aggregate demand decreases and the AD curve shifts leftward. B. the aggregate demand curve does not shift but potential GDP decreases. C. aggregate demand increases and the AD curve shifts rightward. D. the quantity of real GDP demanded decreases and there is a movement up along the AD curve. E. the quantity of real GDP demanded increases and there is a...
Chapter 3 When Demand increases, is that a shift of the curve or a movement along the curve? Determine the direction of the shift or movement. When Supply de creases, is that a shift of the curve or a movement along the curve? Determine the direction of the shift or movement. When quantity demanded increases, is that a shift of the curve or a movement along the curve? Determine the direction of the shift or movement. When quantity supply decreases,...
The following events have occurred at times in the history of the United States: 1. The world economy goes into an expansion. 2. U.S. businesses expect future profits to rise. 3. The government increases its expenditure on goods and services in a time of war or increased international tension. Explain the separate effects of each event on U.S. real GDP and the price level, starting from a position of long-run equilibrium. Starting from a position of long-run equilibrium, a world...

Describe how (if at all) the IS curve, MP curve, and AD curve are affected in the following situation: Firms become more optimistic about the future of the economy. O A. The MP and AD curves shift to the left, and there is a movement along the IS curve to lower output. OB. The IS curve is not affected, the MP curve shifts to the right, and the slope of the AD curve becomes flatter. O C. All the curves...
