Now, show the long-run impact of the housing market slump by shifting both the short-run aggregate demand (AD) curve and the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve to the appropriate positions. (Note: Assume that the housing market slump does not cause a change in the economy's resources, technology, or productivity.)

Explanation / Answer

1. aggregate demand (decrease in consupmtion will result in reduction of demand)

2. left (AD will shift left)

3. fall below

4. fall below

5. increase (unemployment will rise)

6.adjust upward

7. aggregate demand

8. right

9. increase

10. rises above
