Economic Recessions in the Combined WS-PS and Multiplier Model
When analyzing a negative aggregate demand shock, it is assumed that the supply-side equilibrium, determined by the wage-setting and price-setting curves, remains constant. A common cause of such a shock is a fall in investment resulting from a widespread decline in business confidence about future profits. In the multiplier model, this shock is depicted as a downward shift of the aggregate demand (AD) curve. If this state of low demand persists, it leads to a reduction in employment below the supply-side equilibrium, causing cyclical unemployment, as illustrated in models like Figure 4.17.

Labor Market Equilibrium and Inflation
Consider an economy where the current level of employment is above the labor market's supply-side equilibrium. Given the typical relationship between wage-setting and price-setting behaviors, what is the most likely immediate consequence for the economy?

Absence of Automatic Private Sector Stabilization After a Demand Shock
An economy is initially in a medium-run equilibrium, with employment and output determined by the intersection of the wage-setting and price-setting curves. A sudden, widespread loss of business confidence leads to a significant drop in investment spending. Based on the interaction between the multiplier model and the labor market model, what is the most likely immediate outcome?
