Question

Starting from a long run steady state equilibrium, a variety of expansionary fiscal and monetary policies were undertaken. The production exceeds potential GDP in short run. The resulting:
A. hyper-intense production will be unsustainable in the long run.
B. higher wages will encourage workers to produce more at high prices.
C. lower prices will lead to a lower quantity of demand.
D. downward slope in aggregate supply curve will be short run.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Here, we want to know what happens in the long run if the production exceeds potential GDP in short run.

An expansionary gap cannot persist for a long time, as the economic activity exceeds sustainable levels. In the long run, the output level comes back to potential, though price levels may rise.
