Illustrate using a graph how the economy you depicted in (a) will adjust in the long run. On the graph identify the long run price level and the long run level of aggregate output. Explain verbally your results. In your answer make sure you comment on what is happening to wages and prices during this long run adjustment.
Ans: Over time wages and prices will decrease since the economy is operating at a production level less than Yfe. As nominal wages decrease this will cause the SRAS curve to shift to the right from SRAS1 to SRAS2,Eventually the economy will return to Yfe but with a lower aggregate price level than the initial level. Unemployment will return to the full employment or natural rate of unemployment.
