Strategy tips

Always identify which curve shifts first. A scenario about consumer confidence shifts AD; a scenario about input costs shifts SRAS; a scenario about resources/technology shifts LRAS.

Don't mix up the spending and tax multipliers. Spending multiplier = 1 ÷ MPS. Tax multiplier = −MPC ÷ MPS (smaller in magnitude, opposite sign).

A recessionary or inflationary gap is about the relationship between equilibrium GDP and potential GDP — always compare the two before answering.

Read the explanations even when you got it right. Each one teaches a small fact that often returns in a different form on the exam.
