1. In the diagram use aggregate demand and short-run ag- gregate supply curves to show an economy at a short-run equilibrium, with a $0.5 trillion contractionary gap when potential output is $9.5 trillion. Identify the equilibrium point and price level. Illustrate how fiscal policy can close the contractionary gap.
