Solution

The correct answer is: the aggregate demand curve shifts right and the short-run aggregate supply curve does not shift.

Here's why:

  1. When the government increases its spending, it is essentially injecting more money into the economy. This increases the overall demand for goods and services.

  2. The increase in demand is represented by a shift to the right of the aggregate demand curve. This is because at each price level, a higher quantity of goods and services is now demanded.

  3. In the short run, the aggregate supply of goods and services does not change. This is because the supply of goods and services is determined by factors like technology and the availability of factors of production, which do not change immediately in response to changes in demand.

  4. Therefore, in the short run, the aggregate supply curve does not shift.

So, the correct answer is that the aggregate demand curve shifts right and the short-run aggregate supply curve does not shift.
