Assume that the total productivity in our country decreases (a negative shock to the production function). a) Using a graph, What happens to the demand curve for labor? b) Using a graph, How would the decline in productivity affect the labor market (employment, unemployment and real wages), if labor market is always in equilibrium? c) Using a graph, How would decreases in productivity affect the labor market if unions prevented the decline in real wages?
Is fiscal policy, say an increase in government expenditures (G), effective according to the Real Business Cycle (RBC) theory? If it is, should it be used? Explain by using production function, labor market, goods market and asset market equilibrium tools.
If a Keynesian model shows that aggregate demand for both goods and labor has shifted to the left, while wages are sticky and remain at the same level and prices remain at the same prices, what will be the result in the labor market? a a shortage of labor b depression c coordinated wage reductions d a surplus of labor
a. Suppose the Australian government announces that it will bring the federal budget deficit to zero, over the next ten (post-pandemic) years, with no change in tax rates. Describe the effects of such a policy according to the three business cycle models, assuming that the policy is fully credible. b. How do new Keynesian ideas about price setting and inflation expectations affect the short-run aggregate supply curve? Explain.
Attached: figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model Question 1 Why does Hayek’s aggregate supply curve always lead to an equilibrium level of national output equal to the full-employment level of real GDP? Question 2 Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek’s idea that governments cannot increase real GDP beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce? Question 3 Do you believe that the Hayek’s classical AD-AS model explain the factors that cause changes (shifts) in AS realistically? Why or why not?
c. According to the Keynesian theory, what would be the effect of the “A wave of investor and consumer pessimism about the future profitability of capital investments and lower future income” on output (Y), the real interest rate (r), employment (L) and the price level (P)? Distinguish between the short run and the long run effects by using the IS-LM-FE and AD-AS models and the effective labor demand theory.

A) Identify - and justify with macroeconomic arguments the long-term adjustments (i.e., the possible displacements of the 3 curves identified on the graph) that can be expected, all things being equal. b) Identify - and justify with macroeconomic arguments what are the implications for: i. the inflation rate, ii. the real growth rate, iii.the unemployment rate, and iv. the output gap (i.e. the difference between realized GDP and full capacity GDP)
question 3Consider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy discussed in the course.(a). 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?(b). 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?(c). 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.
