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.

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?

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?
Based on the below information, help Renwick economy find the equilibrium level of output. Aggregate Demand Aggregate Supply Equilibrium YAD = C + I + G YAS = A Kα L1-α YR =0.5YAD+ 0.5YAS C = 600 + βYD A = (1 + g) Ao YD = YR + TR - tYR K = 35 TR = 55 L = 80 G = 120 g = 6% I = 50 Ao = 150 t = 0.15 α = 0.65 Where C is private consumption, YD is disposable income; TR, G and I are transfer payments, government spending and total investment, respectively. A in the index of technology and K and L are capital and labour inputs. A0 is the initial levels of A and L, both assumed to be 150, while g is the growth rates. The MPC is 0.60. a.)

During the current economic crisis caused by COVID 19, the Australian authorities have used both monetary and fiscal policy to try and minimise unemployment. (a) Use the dynamic AD-AS model to describe the impact of the crisis on the economy. Be sure to comment on its effect on both the demand and supply side in your answer. b) Using the same model, discuss and show in a diagram how the correct fiscal policy may offset the impact of the COVID effects on the economy. Be sure to mention any practical issues that may modify your answer
The Thai economy is at its potential level. Illustrate and explain the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Thailand using the IS-LM-PC model. Besides the Bank of Thailand reduced its policy rate, the Thai government has recently announced a massive stimulus package of 1.9 MM baht. Use the IS-LM-PC model to show the effect of these policies on Thai economy. Draw the graph and explain. Suppose that the 1.9 MM baht stimulus package does not sufficient to support the Thai financial system and also leads to the government debt crisis. What would happen to the Thai economy? Draw the graph and explain using the IS-LM-PC model

Question Consider that the Ghanaian economy is a small and close, which is characterised by the following. AD=C+I+G+NX C=a+bY* Y*=disposal income T=T0 I=I0 G=G0 Md/P=Ld(Y,i) Ms=money supply ,which is given . AD=Aggregate demand ,C=consumption,G=Government expenditure ,T=Tax,P= Pricelevel,I=Investment,NX=Netexports (a) Consider an increase in Government spending ∆ > .Assume for now that both price and expected price are fixed. Also assume that government does not implement any other policy than the increase in Government spending. What is the effect of this policy on the goods market? (b) What is the effect on equilibrium in the money market? Present your answer in swells labelled diagram, showing both money supply and demand before the policy was implemented, and that after the policy was implemented in the same graph. (c) Solve for equilibrium in the goods market. d) Suppose the policy change is rather a increase in real money supply not a decrease in government spending.What…
Only typed answer The federal government decides to stimulate the economy and increases government expenditure on new infrastructure projects by $100 billion. The marginal propensity to consume is MPC = 0.3 and the marginal propensity to import is MPI = 0.08. Assuming no crowding out effect, what is the increase in output caused by the stimulus package of$100 billion in a closed economy?
