Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function isC = c0 + c1(Y − T ), where the marginal propensity to consume c1 is equal to 0.75. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = P e, where P e is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal. Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $500. 1. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 2. By how much will consumption C change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 3. By how much will investment I change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?
Consider an economy that is currently experiencing a recessionary output gap. As the economy adjusts back towards full employment, we expect the wage rate to Question 9Answer a. decrease, shifting the aggregate demand curve downward. b. decrease, shifting the aggregate supply curve downward. c. increase, shifting the aggregate supply curve upward. d. increase, shifting the aggregate demand curve upward. e. decrease, increasing potential GDP.
You are hired by the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) as an economic consultant.The chairperson of the CEA tells you that she believes the current unemployment rate istoo high. The unemployment rate can be reduced if aggregate output increases. She wantsto know what policy to pursue to increase aggregate output by 300 billion TL. The bestestimate she has for the MPC is 0.8. Which of the following policies should yourecommend?a) Increase government purchases by 75 billion TL.b) Reduce taxes by 75 billion TL.c) Reduce taxes by 75 billion TL and to increase government purchases by 75 billion TL.d) Reduce the budget deficit by 300 billion TL
Assume an economy operates in the intermediate range of its aggregate supplycurve. For each of the following changes in conditions, state the direction of theeffect on: aggregate demand, aggregate supply, price level, real GDP.(a) A decrease in government expenditure in infrastructure(b) A severe recession occurs in a country which has been a major importer of thenation’s exports.(c) The federal government increases business taxes with diagram
Assume that (a) the price level is flexible upward but not downward and (b) the economy is currently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how will each of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real output in the short run?a. An increase in aggregate demand.b. A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregate demand.c. Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply.d. A decrease in aggregate demand.e. An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase in aggregate supply.
In the short run, what is the impact on the price level and real GDP of each ofthe following:a. An increase in consumption brought about by a decrease in interest rates.b. A decrease in exports brought about by an appreciation of the dollar.c. A rise in wage rates.d. A beneficial supply shock.e. An adverse supply shock.
Which items describe long-run aggregate supply (LRAS), and which ones describe short-run aggregate supply (SRAS)? Long-Run Aggregate Supply The unemployment rate, u, may be above or below the natural rate. Unemployment is at the natural rate, u*. All prices can change. Short-Run Aggregate Supply + Only some prices can change. The economy's output may be above or below the full-employment level, Y*. The economy's output, Y, is at the full- employment level.
Suppose workers become pessimistic about their future employment, which causes them to save more and spend less. If the economy is only intermediate range of the aggregate supply curve, then A. Both real GDP and the price level will fall B. With real GDP and the price level will rise C. Real GDP will fall, and the price level will rise D. Real GDP will rise, and the price level will fall
What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demandor aggregate supply, other things equal? In each case explain the expectedeffects on the equilibrium price level and the level of real output, assumingthat the price level is flexible both upward and downward.· A sizable increase in labor productivity (with no change innominal wages).· An increase in exports that exceeds an increase in imports (notdue to tariffs).
Part B: Aggregate Demand (AD) Curve shows the relationship between the economy’s price level and real GDP demanded. In other words, real GDP demanded by different groups of buyers, i.e., Consumers (C), Businesses (I), Government (G), and Net Amount by Foreigners (Export - Import), at different price levels give us points on a graph, which are connected to form a curve called AD curve. Review the textbook chapter, and conduct internet research to discuss determinants of AD or factors that shift AD curve.
