Question
Chapter 38, Problem 1DQ
To determine
The differences between the short run and the long run in macroeconomics .
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Differences between the short run and the long run in macroeconomics:
- 1. In the short run, input prices do not respond to the change in the price level. That is, input prices are inflexible. In the long run, however, input prices are flexible.
- 2. In the long run, the economy will adjust itself. That is, there is no need of government intervention. But in the short run, fiscal and
monetary policies are required to stabilize the economy.
The distinction between the short run and the long run is important to have better analysis of short run and long run aspects.
Economics Concept Introduction
Concept introduction:
Short run: Short run refers to the time period which does not allow the change in capital to adjust with the market situation.
Long run: Long run refers to the time period which allows the change in capital to adjust with the market situation.

8. Which of the following statements is
correct?
A model is an exact representation of what
goes on in the economy.
Equilibrium in GDP growth rate is when the
growth rate is zero.
A model is an economic relationship that is
only represented by mathematics.
Equilibrium is a self-perpetuating situation
that does not change, unless a force for
change is introduced from the outside and
alters the basic data describing the
situation.

a. What is productivity in this economy?
b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input unit is $2?
c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no accompanying change in productivity.
What is the new per-unit cost of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price push
the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price
level and the level of real output?
d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but, instead, that productivity increases by 100
percent. What would be the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change in per-unit
production cost have on the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate
supply have on the price…
