Multiple Choice

Which of the following explains contractionary monetary policy in the long run?

• A) Contractionary monetary policy shifts aggregate demand to the left,moving the economy from long-run equilibrium to a short-run equilibrium with a lower price level and a lower level of real gross domestic product (GDP).In the long run,as resource prices fall,the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right,bringing the economy back to a long-run equilibrium,where no real changes to GDP have occurred.
• B) Contractionary monetary policy shifts aggregate demand to the right,moving the economy from long-run equilibrium to a short-run equilibrium with a higher price level and a higher level of real gross domestic product (GDP).In the long run,as resource prices rise,the aggregate demand curve shifts back to the left,bringing the economy back to a long-run equilibrium,where no real changes to GDP have occurred.
• C) Contractionary monetary policy shifts aggregate demand to the right,moving the economy from long-run equilibrium to a short-run equilibrium with a higher price level and a higher level of real gross domestic product (GDP).In the long run,as resource prices rise,the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the left,bringing the economy back to a long-run equilibrium,where no real changes to GDP have occurred.
• D) Contractionary monetary policy shifts aggregate demand to the right,moving the economy from long-run equilibrium to a short-run equilibrium with a higher price level and a higher level of real gross domestic product (GDP).In the long run,as resource prices fall,the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right as well,causing the economy to expand.
• E) Contractionary monetary policy shifts aggregate demand to the left,moving the economy from long-run equilibrium to a short-run equilibrium with a lower price level and a lower level of real gross domestic product (GDP).In the long run,as resource prices rise,the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the left,causing the economy to contract.
