Question

In the late 1990s, the United States experienced very high GDP growth, record low unemployment rates, and virtually nonexistent inflation. Based on the conclusions of the AD/AS model, this combination of good economic results can be explained by a __________.
a. rightward shift of the aggregate demand.
b. leftward shift of the aggregate demand.
c. rightward shift of the short- or long-run aggregate supply.
d. leftward shift of the short- or long-run aggregate supply.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. leftward shift of the short- or long-run aggregate supply.

Explanation:

A smaller labor force would usually lead to a reflection in the leftward shift in both short run aggregate supply and potential GDP ( gross domestic product) of the economy. What this means is it would lead to a lower level of equilibrium with GDP ( gross domestic product) and a higher price level.
