Consider a one-period economy which experiences the destruction of some of the nation’s capital stock (say through a hurricane is de- stroyed). How should this effect equilibrium, consumption, output and labor supply? Now, let’s say the government tries to offset some of the declines in capital on output and hours worked by increasing govern- ment spending. What is the likely outcome of this policy intervention in terms of consumption? In our model, the affects of changes on wages are ambiguous because the income and substitution effects move in opposite directions. How do (many) macroeconomists deal with this ambiguity in terms of study- ing business cycle? How do economists resolve this ambiguity when studying long term economic development? Consider an economy with a straight line PPF. Show how an increase in government spending paid for by an increase in lump sum labor taxes affects outcomes. Do the same for an increase in government spending financed by a proportional income…
Course: Macroeconomic - IS-LM Model Prove mathematically the following: Given an increase in the proportional tax on income(t), what happens to the level of output and to the tax?" . Hint: for demostration, use the IS general function for a closed economy Y = C + I + G, where C = a + c*YD and YD = Y + TR - Y*t (where t = proportional income tax) and realize changes i.e., from "t1" to "t2"
Congratulationst You have been appointed an economic policy adviser to the United States, You are told that the economy is significantly abowe futtemplyoment GDP. Based on this inlormation, how can the economy would adjust to reach LR.SR Equilbrium (Classical View)? The economy wilt experience low unemployment rate, pushing wages up, and increasing the pelces of a key input (labor). shatting the sAS to the left (up). The economy will experience high unemployment rate, pushing wages down, and reducing the prices of a key input (labor). shiting the SAS to the right (down). The econoriny wil experience low unemployment rate, decreasing inceme, which will eventually shift the AD to the left. The eooncmy will experience low unemployment rate, pushing wages up, and increasing the prices of a key input (labor), shiting the sAs to the night (down).
