Hi! Tutorial 3 question 2 about increased deregulation and increased competition - the price setting curve moves up leading to higher real wage and lower unemployment. Is it right that this is what makes the AS curve shift down, leading to higher output and lower prices, and at the same time moving away from the natural level of output. In the answer key it sais that the AS curve will continue to move until it reaches the new natural level of output. Why can we just "set" a new natural level of output?
And why is it that the LM curve shifts - just didnt think this had anything to do with monetary policy....

The LM curve shifts because of a change in the price level, and the subsequent change in real money supply that is caused (M/P).

Hi,
Two things:
1. Suppose we start at the original natural rate with P=P^e. When mu falls, the AS curve shifts down and P falls. Since P^e hasn't changed yet, it must be that P<P^e. This means we can't yet be at the new natural rate level of output. P^e has to fall and there has to be more movement of the AS curve.
2. Yes, you're right. The LM curve shifts because P changes -> a fall in P raises M/P

Hi,
Since P decreases, the LM curve will shift outward, does it mean the AD curve will shift as well?

No,
It is important that you understand what is a **movement along** a curve and a **shift of** a curve.
