Question

Assume a central bank follows a rule that requires it to take steps to keep the price level constant. If the long run price level fell because of a decrease in aggregate demand and a subsequent increase in short run aggregate supply that kept output unchanged, then Question 5 options: a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output. b) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would decrease output. c) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would increase output. d) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would increase output.

Answer 1

a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case when the long run price would fall due to the reduction in the aggregate demand and there is a rise of short run aggregate supply so the central bank would have to reduce the money supply due to this it automatically reduced the output as it shows the direct relation between the money supply and the output

Therefore the correct option is a.
