Question 34Assume that in a certain economy, the LM curve is given by Y = 2,000r - 2,000 + 2 (M/ P) + u, whereis a shock that is equal to +200 half the time and -200 half the time, and the IS curve is given by Y =8,000 - 2,000r. The price level (P) is fixed at 1.0. The natural rate of output is 6,000. The governmentwants to keep output as close as possible to 6,000 and does not care about anything else.Consider the following two policy rules:i. Set the money supply M equal to 2,000 and keep it there.ii. Manipulate M from day to day to keep the interest rate constant at 2 percent.Under rule i, what will Y be when u = -200?

The lumen curve depicts the set of all levels of financial gain (GDP) and interest rates at that…

81.Assume that in a certain economy the LM curve is given by Y = 2,000r – 2,000 + 2(M/P), and the IS curve is given by Y = 8,000 – 2,000r + u, where u is a shock that is equal to +200 half the time and –200 half the time. The price level (P) is fixed at 1.0. The natural rate of output is 4,000. The government wants to keep output as close as possible to 4,000 and does not care about anything else.

How did the large decrease in aggregate demand during the first and second quarters of 2020 (the Coronavirus demand shock) affect real GDP and the price level? Explain how and why the spread of the Coronavirus made an impact on consumer and business investment spending as well as overall aggregate demand? Be specific.
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…
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 following questions relate to long-run macroeconomic equilibrium and the stock market boom. Assume that a hypothetical economy is at long-run macroeconomic equilibrium, with full employment and stable prices. Suddenly the stock market prices increase much more than expected, increasing investor’s wealth, and causing a short-term period of unusually increased optimism about the future of the economy. Only need help with Subparts 4-5 In the short-run, will the AS curve or the AD curve shift, and in which direction will it shift? In the short-run, what will happen to the price level and quantity of output (real GDP)? Explain what, if any, impact will there likely be on workers’ wages, and the reasons for this impact. In the long-run, which curve will shift due to the change in wages and price expectations created by the stock market boom? In which direction will it shift? When the economy returns to its long-term output level, how will the new long-run macroeconomic equilibrium…
For oil exporting countries, the negative effect of oil boom on their economies is mainly due to volatility of oil price. Discuss.
Consider the following AD/AS diagram of the macroeconomy, with LRAS shown as the vertical curve, AD as the downward sloping curve, and SRAS as the upward sloping curve. First, place a point at the current equilibrium. Then, suppose the government wants to stimulate the economy to restore it to long-run equilibrium by cutting taxes. Draw a new curve that shows the impact of this policy change. (You'll have to determine which, but draw it so that it reflects a parallel, vertical shift in one of the existing curves. Make sure that it's the same size as the ones shown here using the segment tool.) Finally, place a point at the new equilibrium using the point tool.
The figure above shows the Aggregate Supply (AS) and Aggregate Demand (AD) curves for an economy that is currently at equilibrium producing Y0 units of output. What would be the result of a negative shock to AD if there is no change to AS? Question 13Select one or more: a. Decrease in output b. Increase in price levels c. Decrease in price levels d. Increase in output
Suppose that the economy can be described by a closed-economy IS-LM framework and that is in a recession. Assume that the IS curve is relatively steep while the LM curve is relatively flat. If you were to advise the policymakers on which action to take, what would be your advice? Show graphically.
