How is cyclical unemployment illustrated in an AD/AS model?
Suppose the level of structural unemployment increases. How would you illustrate the increase in structural unemployment in the AD/AS model? Hint: How does structural unemployment affect potential GDP?
Consider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy. Write down the expressions for the AS and AD curves and interpret the expressions: what is the intuition behind the two curves? What must be true of the model parameters and variables in the long-run equilibrium, i.e. in the steady state? Analyse the effects of an oil supply shock that causes a temporary increase in inflation, using the three-equation model. Assume that the shock lasts for one-period and then assumes the value 2%. Describe the mechanisms that bring the economy back to long-run equilibrium. What happens to aggregate demand? Consider an economy that starts out in steady state when the central bank decides to make the inflation target more ambitious. Analyse the effects of a decrease in the inflation target from ? to . Explain the mechanisms behind the adjustment to the new steady state.
Suppose Chino is a closed economy. A large portion of the work force has joint astrong labor union. As such, the nominal wages of most workers are downwardrigid.Suppose most households lose their wealth in a recent clash of the stock market.How would the price and output level of Chino be affected in the short run?Explain by using the AD-AS model. Particularly, use the sticky-wage model ofaggregate supply to explain the magnitude of the effects on price and output.
In the Keynesian model in the short run (IS-LM Framework), what is likely to happen to employment after each of the following shocks, based on the effective labor demand curve? How about an increase in taxes?
JobKeeper was designed to keep people employed and ‘sustain’ the economy through the enforced lockdown. Using the static AD/AS model explain. Use the static AD-AS model to explain how the JobKeeper policy worked to sustain the economy (even though unemployment increased).
In the Keynesian model in the short run (IS-LM Framework), what is likely to happen to employment after each of the following shocks, based on the effective labor demand curve? How about an increase in the money supply?
n the AD-AS model, assume that an economy’s aggregate demand, denoted by QD=400−P, and SR aggregate supply, denoted by QS=P, currently intersect at price level = $200 and the full employment output level = 200. What curve would have shifted if a new short-run equilibrium were to occur at an output level of 300 and a price level of $300? Group of answer choices SRAS shifts leftward. AD shifts leftward. SRAS shifts rightward. AD shifts rightward.
Describe the full employment macroeconomic equilibrium in the As-AD model. what would happen on the AS-AD model of the government put forward and pass 2 trillion dollarinfrastructure plan?what has happened to the equilibrium output and price level ?what gap would be created ?how does the economy respond to this gap? what has happened to the equilibrium output and price level due to part five?
Using a separate set of AS-AD diagrams for each of the following scenarios, explain what is likely to happen to the output (Y), unemployment, price level, and inflation in the short run, making sure to explain the shifts in any curve: a. U.S. households decide to save more and more than doubles the total savings per year. b. With the news of rapid vaccinations, the consumer and business confidence surges. c. Natural gas is now the most important source of power in the U.S. And, since the advent of fracking, it is also the cheapest. New administration imposes a ban on fracking which increases the prices of not only natural gas, but all carbon fuels. d. The U.S. is currently described as mostly recovered from the pandemic induced recession. Congress and the White House enacts a $2 Trillion “infrastructure” spending.
