22. Consider a Keynesian model but where both investment and consumption are increasing in aggregate income, e.g., because investment depends on business cash flow. Now that investment depends positively on aggregate income, fiscal stimulus has less effect on equilibrium output. True/False. Remember to include your explanation.
Determine how each of the following monetary or fiscal policy would shift the aggregate demand curve. Illustrate and explain the following effect. a. Assuming the economy is currently producing above the full employment output, the government decided to increase the personal income tax as a form of contractionary fiscal policy. Illustrate and explain the effect of the policy using AD-AS curve. b. With the recession due to COVID-19, the central bank has decided to lower down discount rates and reserve requirements of the commercial bank. Illustrate and explain the effect of the policy using AD-AS curve.
Refer to the above diagram. The economy is at equilibrium at point C. What fiscal policy would increase real GDP? Group of answer choices Increase aggregate demand from AD2 to AD1 by decreasing taxes. Decrease aggregate demand from AD2 to AD3 by increasing taxes. Increase aggregate demand from AD1 to AD2 by increasing government spending. Make no change because the economy is at or near its full-employment level of real output.
What is the impact of using Fiscal policy tools on an economy - more specifically aggregate demand and how can they be used to potentially assist (stimulate) an economy experiencing sluggish growth or in a recession. In your discussion, investigate the positive impacts, potential impact of lags, as well as other disadvantages associated with fiscal tools.
14. Of the following secondary effects which dissipate the strength or effectiveness of expansionary Keynesian macroeconomic policy, which one is associated with rising interest rates because of greater government borrowing to finance a budget deficit? a) Crowding out effect b) Inflation c) transactions demand for money d) sovereign debt crisis e) All the above
Discuss in detail the role of fiscal policy in terms of stabilization under Classical and Keynesiansystems. Also, specify which tool is the most effective under each system.
Draw an AS-AD model of an economy dealing with an inflationary gap. What is one fiscal policy that can be implemented to close this gap? Draw the effect of that policy. Explain how the model returns to long run equilibrium if the government does not intervene.
please explain this question in words. Assume that fiscal policy can be accomplished by changing only one of G and T. In the IS-LM framework, suppose the effect on the general equilibrium output is the same between expansionary fiscal policy and expansionary monetary policy. Which one would you expect to have a greater impact on the equilibrium consumption?
C1. What is meant by the "time inconsistency" of economic policy? Why might policymakers be tempted to renege on an announcement they made earlier? In this situation, what is the advantage of a policy rule?C2. What are the policy issues connected with economic growth?C3. Briefly describe how Modigliani's life-cycle hypothesis and Milton Friedman's permanent income hypothesis solve the consumption puzzle.C4. Is the government debt really a problem? Describe the traditional view and the Ricardian view. answer all the parts please and correctly.
An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs. What kind of gap - inflationary or recessionary - will the economy face after the shock, and what type of fiscal policies would help move the economy back to potential output? How would your recommended fiscal policy shift the aggregate demandcurve? (Note: you do not need to draw anything).(a) A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households.(b) Firms come to believe that a recession in the near future is likely.(c) Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment.(d) The quantity of money in the economy declines and interest rates increase.
1. Consider an economy where the potential output is equal to the equilibrium output (i.e., 7 =Y) and the country is running a budget deficit (i.e., G>T). Suppose that the households in this economy become very thrifty. a. Using the IS-LM model, illustrate (draw a graph) and explain what happens to r and Y due to increasing thriftiness. b. If the government wants to stabilize output Y at its potential Y and balance the budget at the same time, illustrate (Draw a graph ) and explain what combination of monetary and fiscal policies should be implemented.
Assume that the current unemployment rate in Country A is lower than the natural rate of unemployment. Draw a single correctly labeled graph with both the long-run Phillips curve and the short-run Phillips curve. Label the current short-run equilibrium point Z. Identify a specific fiscal policy action that would bring the economy to full employment. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market, and show the effect of the fiscal policy from part (b) on the real interest rate in the short run. Now assume instead that there is no fiscal policy action. Will the short-run Phillips curve shift to the right, shift to the left, or remain the same over time? Explain.
