Analyzing Economic Events
A national economy experiences the following four events simultaneously:
- A major technological breakthrough significantly increases the efficiency of energy production.
- The government launches a large-scale advertising campaign to encourage citizens to buy domestically produced goods.

- The national central bank increases interest rates to curb consumer spending.
From the list above, identify the two events that are primarily related to the economy's supply side. For each event you choose, explain how it affects the economy's ability to produce goods and services.
