2.5 Use the dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate supply model and start with Year 1 in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium. For Year 2, graph aggregate demand, long-run aggregate supply, and short-run aggregate supply such that the condition of the economy will induce the Federal Reserve to conduct an expansionary monetary policy. Briefly explain the condition of the economy and what the Federal Reserve is attempting to do.

Suppose government spending increases. Would the effect on aggregate demand be larger if the central bank held the money supply constant in response or if the central bank chose to maintain a fixed interest rate? Illustrate and explain
Question: A recent article (federalreserve.gov/econres/feds/files/2020049pap.pdf) published by the Federal Reserve (the central bank of the USA), suggests "the massive lockdown of the economy" has led to "a large negative demand shock. However, an accompanying increase in unemployment benefits has increased the income of some low-and middle-income households at least temporarily, which could helpfully support aggregate demand". The excerpt above suggests an increase in household income, which might lead to improved aggregate demand. a. Draw a diagram to explain the above situation to show the impact of increased income and how it affects aggregate demand.
As you have learned in Unit 8 (this week), monetary and fiscal policy play important roles in economic stimulation and or stabilization. In this regard: a. When is it appropriate to use monetary and fiscal policy to stimulate or stabilize the economy? b. When is it inappropriate to use monetary and fiscal policy to stimulate or stabilize the economy? c. What specific fiscal policy tools would you use to stimulate aggregate demand and how? d. What specific monetary policy tools would you use to stimulate aggregate demand and how? e. What is your conclusion, should policymakers use the monetary and or fiscal policy to stimulate aggregate demand? Explain briefly.
Suppose that the Federal Reserve wants to reduce the money supply. Using our model of the money market, investment, and aggregate demand and aggregate supply, explain the how a reduction of the money supply will influence the price level and real GDP, assuming that the economy is operating in the moderate unemployment range of aggregate supply.
Suppose the economy of Macroland is described by the following:C = 200 + 0.8 DI (DI = disposable income)I = 300 + 0.2Y − 50r (Y = GDP)(r, the interest rate, is measured in percentage points. For example, a 9 percent interest rate is r = 9).For this economy, assume that the Federal Reserve uses its monetary policy to peg the interest rate atr = 5G = 750T = 0.25YX = 200M = 150 + 0.2YHint: DI = Y − T From Table 36-1, find the trade deficit or surplus. a. 75 surplus b. 475 surplus c. 475 deficit d. 75 deficit
After a series of measures to remedy the mortgage crisis that has beset the US economy, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and his colleagues are once again looking at cutting the central bank’s key interest rate as they hope that lowering the interest rates will give the economy a boost by encouraging investors and consumers to borrow and spend (Associated Press, n. pag.). The Fed is looking at slashing the interest rate by a full percent however, many economist believe that this is not the appropriate remedy for economic conundrum (Gavin, n. pag). According to many analysts, the issue of the economy regarding the mortgage is the lack of confidence by both the lender and the borrower. Even as the Fed resorts to drastic interest cuts, the first time the central bank has cut a full percentage point in one shot since 1982, this provides little help if lenders are not loaning money out of fear they will not be repaid and the borrowers…
The U.S. economy is initially in short-run macro-equilibrium. Assume that the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates. As a result, we observe the following in our economy: Question 29 options: a) Both the price level and real GDP increase. b) Both the price level and real GDP decrease c) The price level increases and real GDP falls d) The price level falls and real GDP increases
The government of Australia has embarked on various policies such as Job Keeper and provision of subsidies to firms in order to reduce the severity of COVID 19 on the economy. Suppose the money supply expands such that the Reserve Bank predicts that the economic expansion is not sustainable. Use two diagrams one for the money market and another for the goods and services(Aggregate demand and Aggregate Supply model), to explain the policy that the Reserve Bank can adopt in order to overcome the effect of increasing money supply on the economy. Assume that:1. money supply increased from the equilibrium of AUD 40 billion to AUD 70 billion 2. Interest was reduced to interest rate of 1.5% as part of the stimulus package for the nation to overcome the effects of COVID 19. But the equilibrium interest rate is 4% 3 Assume that equilibrium real GDP is AUD 60 billion 4. Assume that inflation during COVID crisis was at an equilibrium price of CPI 65 5. Assume that to overcome the inflationary…
