Consider a closed economy. Provide a graphical analysis of the effect of a temporary but persistent increase in total factor productivity (TFP) on current employment, current output, current investment, current real wages, current prices and current real interest rates in terms of the Real Business Cycle Model. Explain why each of the curves in your analysis shifts in response to the shock. Do we observe changes in total factor productivity? How are they calculated? Why do we assume that changes to TFP are persistent? Compare graphically the behaviour of the current Average Productivity of Labour and Employment in the Real Business Cycles Model and the Coordination Failure Model following a temporary increase in current total factor productivity. Are the two different and how do these results compare to the data?
Economics Suppose that the effects of COVID-19 on the economy can be thought of as a permanent negative productivity shock, i.e., a permanent decrease of the production owing to lower total factor productivity. What does the model predict will happen to the following variables: (1) real interest rate, (2) real output), (3) real consumption, (4) real investment, (5) labor input? For each variable explain why COVID-19 would have the predicted effect.
For each of the following scenarios, assume the economy experiences an exogenous decrease in investment demand. For each case, illustrate the IS-LM-FX diagram and state the effect of the shock (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous) on the following variables: Y, i, E, C, I, TB. Here, we assume the policy makers’ objective is to keep output fixed at its initial value
The text assumes that the natural rate of interest p is a constant parameter. Suppose instead that it varies over time, so now it has to be written as pt. How would this change affect the dynamic aggregate demand and dynamic aggregate supply? How would a shock to pt affect output, inflation, the nominal interest rate, and the real interest rate?
In section 5.2 we showed that if the money stock follows a mst-order autoregressive process with c (a) Give the economic intuition behind this result. (b) Suppose that the growth rate of money follows a stable mst-order autoregressive process. Solve for the process for the price level. (c) Does the same characterization hold with the addition of the words "relative to trend" following high and low?
Starting from general equilibrium, what would be the long-run effects of a simultaneous reduction in government purchases (G↓) and increase in the money supply (M↑) designed to leave real GDP the same on each of the following economic variables? For each, you should write one of the following responses: Up (U), Down (D), orSame (S) The real interest rate (r) Investment (I) Consumption (C) The price level (P) Budget deficit (G – T) Future standard of living (i.e., future per capita consumption)
Determine the macroeconomic impacts on interest rates and output from a macroeconomic shock using the September 11 terrorist attacks as an example. Background - Assume the economy was in short and long-run equilibrium before the terrorist attacks. Thus, ignore the fact that the stock market dotcom bubble busted a few months before September 11th. Analyze the short-term macroeconomic impact on the economy of this shock and discuss alternative policy responses, identifying the resulting new short-term equilibrium of the economy in the IS-LM diagram. The price level is assumed fixed as we are focusing on the short run impact. Briefly describe the circumstances surrounding the macroeconomic shock. Your analysis should identify which component of the economy (C, I, or Md) was directly affected by the attacks. Create an IS-LM diagram, tracing the macroeconomic impacts of the shock within the IS-LM framework. You can assume that the economy was in long- and short-term equilibrium…
Inflation in the Philippines this year has surged to 4.9% in 2022, exceeding the inflationtarget band set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. In response, the BSP might raise theirkey real interest rate soon, which will in turn affect loaning and lending rates in thecountry. In response to these conditions, firms and investors are growing anxious and assuch, are planning on pulling back on their investments. Given all the information above, illustrate and explain the effects of the decrease ininvestment on the economy. Make sure to cover the following: shifts (if any) in theaggregate expenditure curve, the change in equilibrium output (i.e. identify and comparethe old and new level of equilibrium output in the graph, and the multiplier effect.
Suppose in the real business cycle model that there is a simultaneous temporary increase inboth current government spending and in the current money supply. Draw diagrams for thelabour, goods and money market, and the production function. Determine the equilibriumeffects of these two shocks occurring simultaneously on employment, output, consumption,investment, money, real wages, the real interest rate, and the price level. Provide a detailedeconomic analysis explaining your results with the aid of the diagrams.

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.
