Answer to Question 1

In the long run, an increase in aggregate expenditure has no effect on real GDP, that is, real GDP does not change. The change in real GDPzerois less than the change in aggregate demand. The change in real GDP is nil because, in the long run, the economy returns to its full-employment equilibrium. In the long run, an increase in aggregate expenditure raises the price level but has no effect on real GDP.
