Analyzing an Economic Boom
An economy is initially operating at a stable, medium-run equilibrium where output is determined by the supply-side structure, and there is no upward or downward pressure on wages and prices. Suddenly, a wave of consumer optimism causes a significant and sustained increase in household spending. Using a framework that connects aggregate spending to output and also considers the wage- and price-setting behavior of workers and firms, analyze the likely consequences of this event. Describe the initial impact on output and employment, and then explain the subsequent effects on the labor market and the pressure on the overall price level.

Integrating the Phillips Curve with the WS-PS and Multiplier Model
Imagine an economy is in a state of equilibrium, with employment and output at sustainable, medium-run levels determined by the interplay between firms' pricing decisions and the wage-setting process. Suddenly, a widespread loss of business confidence leads to a sharp, sustained fall in private investment. According to a framework that combines the short-run effects of aggregate spending with the economy's medium-run supply capabilities, what is the most probable outcome in the short run?
Analyzing an Economic Boom
In an economic model that explains business cycles by combining demand-side fluctuations with a supply-side equilibrium, a positive shock to aggregate demand (such as a boom in consumer spending) will permanently raise the economy's equilibrium level of employment.
An economy is initially stable at its medium-run equilibrium. Suddenly, a wave of pessimism about the future causes a sharp drop in autonomous investment and consumption. According to a model that integrates demand-side spending effects with a supply-side equilibrium, arrange the following events in the correct chronological order to describe the resulting short-run downturn.
