Question
A leftward shift in the AD curve accompanied by a leftward shift of the AS curve willA) increase the price level but have an uncertain effect on GDP.B) reduce the price level but have an uncertain effect on GDP.C) increase GDP but have an uncertain effect on the price level.D) reduce GDP but have an uncertain effect on the price level.E) increase both GDP and the price level
Solution
The correct answer is D) reduce GDP but have an uncertain effect on the price level.
Here's why:
-
The AD curve (Aggregate Demand) represents the total demand for goods and services within an economy. A leftward shift in the AD curve means that at each price level, the quantity of goods and services demanded is lower. This decrease in demand can lead to a decrease in the overall level of economic activity, or GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
-
The AS curve (Aggregate Supply) represents the total supply of goods and services produced within an economy. A leftward shift in the AS curve means that at each price level, the quantity of goods and services supplied is lower. This decrease in supply can also lead to a decrease in GDP.
-
However, the effect on the price level is uncertain. The decrease in demand (from the shift in the AD curve) would tend to lower the price level, but the decrease in supply (from the shift in the AS curve) would tend to increase the price level. The overall effect on the price level would depend on the relative magnitudes of these two shifts.
