Imagine that in the year 2025, China’s economy increases significantly, causing an increase in demand for U.S. exports.
Use the ADAS model to explain the likely short run impacts on U.S. GDP and the aggregate price level. What do you anticipate to happen to U.S. consumption expenditures and U.S. employment? Explain your reasoning for each of your predictions and show graphically as appropriate.
Ans. Increase in demand for US
exports will increase the aggregate demand for goods and services
in US. This will shift the aggregate demand curve rightwards from
AD to AD'. This will create a shortage of goods and services in the
market leading to an increase in price level from P to P' and an
increase in real GDP from Y to Y'.
The increase in income level induces consumption, so, consumption
expenditure increases and as the real GDP has increased, so, more
people will be hired tk increase production, decreasing
unemployment rate.
