Use an AD-AS model to depict the following scenarios in the short-run:
a. The government cuts taxes
b. There is a reduction in government spending
c. The rate of inflation increases
a.
With the decrease in tax, the aggregated demand would shift to right in the short run. As supply cannot be changed in the short run, only AD curve shifts to right
b.
Decrease in government spending is a contractionary fiscal policy which reduces the AD, hence the curve shifts to left.
c.
With the increase in inflation the cost of inputs increases which increases cost of production thereby reducing supply
