Answer to Question 1

If the money wage rate rises and potential GDP remains the same there is a decrease in short-run aggregate supply and no change in long-run aggregate supply. The SAS curve shifts leftward and the LAS curve is unchanged.

Answer to Question 2

Shock therapy is an approach to transition from socialism to market capitalism that advocates rapid deregulation of prices, liberalization of trade, and privatization.
