Analyzing a Demand-Driven Recession
Imagine an economy is initially in a stable, medium-run equilibrium where output is at its supply-side potential. A significant, negative shock to aggregate demand occurs, for example, due to a widespread drop in consumer confidence. Using the logic of a two-panel diagram that combines the supply-side (wage-setting and price-setting curves) and demand-side (aggregate demand and output) models, describe the step-by-step process by which the economy moves from its initial equilibrium into a recession. Your explanation should detail the initial impact on the demand-side graph and the subsequent effects on output, employment, and the bargaining gap.

Consider an economy initially at a medium-run equilibrium, where output is stable and there is no upward or downward pressure on the price level. A sudden, positive, and lasting shock to aggregate demand occurs, such as a large increase in autonomous investment. What is the most likely sequence of events as the economy adjusts and moves into a boom?
Analyzing a Demand-Driven Recession
Analyzing a Consumer Confidence Shock
An economy is observed to have the following characteristics: output is below the level consistent with a stable price level, the unemployment rate is higher than the rate at which the labor market is in equilibrium, and there is downward pressure on prices and wages. Based on a model where business cycles are driven by fluctuations in aggregate demand, which phase of the cycle does this scenario best represent?
