Question context: From 2001 to 2005 there was a dramatic rise in house prices. If this rise made homeowners feel wealthier, then it would have shifted aggregate demand rightward due to the wealth effect.
Option 1: 'supply right.' A rise in home prices from wealth effects does not directly increase the quantity suppliers are willing to supply at every price; it mainly affects buyers' demand through perceived wealth, not production capacity. So this is not the correct channel of effect.
Option 2: 'demand left.' A wealthier homeowner population would generally increase, not decrease, overall spending on goods and services. This would shift demand to the right, not to the left, making this option incorrect.
Option 3: 'supply left.' A wealth effect on homeowners is not a decrease in supply; supply shifts are typically driven by production costs, technology, and input prices. The wealth-driven change described would influence demand, not supply, so this option is incorrect.
Option 4: 'demand right.' The implied wealth effect from rising house prices makes homeowners feel richer, encouraging more consumption and spending, which increases aggregate demand. This aligns with standard macroeconomic reasoning about the wealth effect on consumption.
In summary, the wealth-induced increase in perceived household wealth primarily affects demand (consumers buy more now), rather than shifting the supply curve. The only option describing a rightward shift in aggregate demand is the last one.
