Question

The economy is in long-run equilibrium. Technological change shifts the long-run aggregate supply curve $120 billion to the right. At the same time, government purchases increase by $30 billion. If the MPC equals 0.8 and the crowding-out effects are $30 billion, we would expect that in the long run. (C)

a. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be lower
b. both real GDP and the price level would be lower
c. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
d. both real GDP and the price level would be higher

Answer 1

C. Real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Real gdp would get to be higher as long run aggregate supply goes up. Prices would go down because as long run aggregate supply goes up, aggregate demand does not experience the same proportional increase. As long run aggregate supply goes up, short run aggregate supply falls backwards.
