4. Consider an economy with the following aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) schedules. Decision-makers have previously made decisions anticipating that the price level during the current period will be P105.

a. Indicate the quantity of GDP that will be produced during the period.
The quantity during the current period is 5400. b. Is it a long-run equilibrium level of GDP? Why or why not?
Yes, it is considered a long-run equilibrium level because the AD and the SRAS intersect. c. How will the unemployment rate during the current period compare with the natural rate of unemployment? It will be in line with the natural rate of unemployment because the natural rate occurs when the aggregate supply of labor is equal to the aggregate demand for labor, which would occur in a time of equal AD and SRAS. d. Will the current rate of GDP be sustainable into the future? Why or why not? No, it is not sustainable into the future; in order for an economy to grow the levels of supply and demand must fluctuate.

AD105 | Price Level | SRAS 105 | 6300 | 90 | 4500 | 6000 | 95 | 4800 | 5700 | 100 | 5100 | 5400 | 105 | 5400

Although as simple as it may seem it is much more complex in calculating the unemployment rate than what meets the naked eye.

These calculations must be taken seriously and be very precise for they are important factors when evaluating the economy and its growth. In the following article, “President Obama Is Handing a Strong Economy to His Successor” by Patricia Cohen, she talks about how President Obama and other fellow occupants of the White House are leaving an improving economy to the President elect, Donald Trump.…

    For millennials, humans have become irrefutably superior compared to their apelike forbears by means of physical prowess and mental agility. From the early nomads who constantly traveled and foraged in search for food sources, humans quickly adapted to the practice of growing crops, agriculture. Agriculture led to the settlement of larger, more organized groups who were able to farm and create a surplus of food supply. This revolutionary advance altered the way in which humans lived together and paved the way for the splendors of civilization. In the article “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race”, Jared Diamond claims that agriculture, which had facilitated humans’ jobs and brought great technological advances to the world, was…

Unemployment generally starts to rise when growth is below 3%, with growth currently slowing “we continue to expect 2015 growth to be below consensus, and unemployment to edge higher to 6.5%” (The Guardian).
