Answer to Question 1

A supply shock is an unexpected event that causes a shift in short-run aggregate supply. An adverse supply shock causes the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the left, causing an increase in the price level and a decrease in real GDP. An increase in the price level occurring at the same time as a decrease in real GDP is known as stagflation.
