Suppose the economy is in long run equilibrium, with real GDP at
$19 trillion and the unemployment rate at 5%. now assume that the
central bank unexpectedly decreases the money supply by 6%. A.
Illustrate the short run effects on the macroeconomy by using the
aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. Be sure to indicate the
direction of change in real GDP, the price level and the
