21 For each of the following scenarios, tell a story and predict the effects on the equilibrium level of aggregate output (Y) and the interest rate (r): a. During 2009, the Federal Reserve was easing monetary policy in an attempt to boost the economy. That same year, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which cut taxes and expanded existing tax credits for working families and businesses. b. On January 1, 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect, lowering the top marginal tax rate for five of the seven income tax brackets. Assume that the Fed holds MS fixed. C. In 2014, the government raised taxes. At the same time, the Fed was pursuing an expansionary monetary policy. d. In March 2018, consumer confidence in the United States rose to its highest level since 2007, reflected by a rise in consumption. Assume that the Fed holds the money sup- ply constant. * The Fed attempts to increase the money supply to stimu- late the economy, but plants are operating at 65 percent of their capacities and businesses are pessimistic about the future. ntarctica.

Use the New-Keynesian model with partial sticky prices studied in class to analyse the following shock and policies (use the five-graph diagram to support your answer).a) The Covid-19 pandemic has caused recession in many countries, including the United States, Australia… Analyse the effects of this Covid shock which brings the Australian economy relatively close to the ZLB .b) The Central bank conducted conventional monetary policy to counter the shock. Suppose that due to this monetary policy, the economy is at the ZLB and output is still below potential level. Moreover, due to the intensification of the pandemic with deadly Delta variant, the zero lower bound is binding. Suggest the policy actions to bring output back to potential level.

The aggregate demand curve shifts to the right, the economy moves toward potential RGDP, and the rate of inflation remains relatively stable.
The Russia-Ukraine war triggers a surging of crude oil price to a record high that leads to anegative supply shock of an economy. If the economy is currently at the full-employmentoutput, how does it affect the aggregate price and real output level in the short- and long-runif the central bank does not carry out any stabilization policies?

Consider the AD-AS model discussed during the lectures. Assume that the aggregate demand curve is given by Y=8-0.5 π, that the long run aggregate supply curve is given by Yp=7, that the short run aggregate supply curve is given by π = π_expect + 0.3(Y-Yp), and that the monetary rule is given byr=1+0.3 π. Suppose the economy is suffering a decrease in the potential level of output, due to some ill-designed new regulation. According to the AD- AS model, what is more suitable to offset the subsequent decline in output, an expansionary monetary policy or an expansionary fiscal policy?
