Assume that the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical


Assume that the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical at Y = 3,000 while the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal at P = 1.0 (P = 1.0 is the SRAS Curve, in other words). The aggregate demand curve is Y = 3(M/P) and M = 1,000.

a. If the economy is initially in long-run equilibrium, what are the values of P and Y?

b. Now suppose a supply shock moves the short-run aggregate supply curve to P = 1.5. What are the new short-run P and Y?

c. Suppose that after the supply shock the Fed wanted to hold output at its long-run level. What level of M would be required? If this level of M were maintained, what would be long-run equilibrium P and Y?
