Assume that Malaysia is currently operating at natural level of output. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the consumption has decreased by 21% and total investment has decreased by 70% as compared to year 2019. The effects of the event are greater than the people anticipation. Based on the statement above, explain the effects stated above on price level, output and unemployment in short run and long run in Malaysia by using appropriate diagrams.

Using a separate set of AS-AD diagrams for each of the following scenarios, explain what is likely to happen to the output (Y), unemployment, price level, and inflation in the short run, making sure to explain the shifts in any curve: a. U.S. households decide to save more and more than doubles the total savings per year. b. With the news of rapid vaccinations, the consumer and business confidence surges. c. Natural gas is now the most important source of power in the U.S. And, since the advent of fracking, it is also the cheapest. New administration imposes a ban on fracking which increases the prices of not only natural gas, but all carbon fuels. d. The U.S. is currently described as mostly recovered from the pandemic induced recession. Congress and the White House enacts a $2 Trillion “infrastructure” spending.
Assume that you were working in a bar before the Covid-19 pandemic. Suppose that you lost your job as soon as the COVID–19 pandemic hit the economy. Given that many non-essential industries have shut down following the government order, what is your likely behavior in the labor market? How reliable is the unemployment rate during the pandemic in assessing the labor market tightness? Explain.
Due to temporary weather patterns, suppose production in the agricultural sector increases. a. Given the various shifters presented in the book/lecture notes, which curve(s) shifts first and why? Show the graph of the Goods and Services market, including the shift. b. What happened to the price level and RGDP in the short-run? c. Will this cause a temporary business cycle? Why or why not? Show any additional shifts in the graph above.
Macropoland, a country that is a natural gas and oil importer, has a natural rate of unemployment (at the full employment level of GDP) that is about 4.5%, and the long run average rate of inflation over time has been about 2%. However, during the period 1973-1974, the country experienced an inflation rate of about 15% while simultaneously experiencing unemployment of nearly 13%.At the present time, Macropoland is experiencing very sluggish consumption and investment (a result of a fall in the housing market), and unemployment has again edged up to around 9%. Inflation is very low at 0.4%.Macropoland has just hired you as their economic advisor. You have a big job ahead of you. Using your knowledge of aggregate demand and aggregate supply, can you explain what happened in these two time periods?Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience.

Diagrammatically represent the effect on the price level and real GDP in the short run of each of the following : a. An increase in wealth b.an increase in wage rates C. An increase in labour productivity
Suppose that your economy is in long run equilibrium. The aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the market is represented by the following functions: AD:= 360 – 4Y AS: P = 20 + 4Y Something occurs in the economy and the aggregate demand changes to: AD: P = 400 – 4Y Calculate the inflation rate that occurs with the change in aggregate demand.
For all graphs, be sure to correctly and completely label all axes and curves and use arrows to indicate the direction of any shifts. (10 points)Assume Morocco is currently operating with an unemployment rate six percent above its natural rate of unemployment. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply, short-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand curves. Label the equilibrium price level PL1 and the equilibrium real output Y1. Label the full-employment level of output YF. Where on a production possibilities curve representing full employment in Morocco would current output be—on, outside, or inside the PPC? What can be assumed about inflation based on the information above? Assume that the output gap is estimated to be $156 billion and the government decides to take action. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, by how much would it need to change government spending to close the gap? Show your work. If instead, government chose to use the income…
Set up an aggregate demand-aggregate supply model in the long run equilibrium. Be sure to label all parts of the graph. Now assume that the income of foreign households have increased/ What change, if any, will occur in the real GDP, the price level? What is the implied change, if any, in the unemployment rate? What type of unemployment makes up the implied change? Be sure to show all changes on the graph and provide a thorough explanation.
While economists measure unemployment at the macroeconomic level, microeconomic forces are often responsible for this macro aggregate. In other words, the tie between microeconomics and macroeconomics is inevitable when discussing the level of unemployment in an economy. Suppose the following graph represents the market for unskilled labor in a fictional economy. These workers typically represent the young, inexperienced, or uneducated part of the labor force and are therefore most effected by changes in the unemployment rate. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph
he classical model is appropriate for analysis of the economy in the Answer long run, since evidence indicates that money is not neutral in the long run. long run, since real and nominal variables are essentially determined separately in the long run. short run, provided money is not neutral. short run, provided real and nominal variables are highly intertwined.
For each of the following events, explain the short-run and long-run effects on output and the price level, assuming policymakers take no action. Analyze with graphs! a. Pandemi Covid 19 has caused crash in stock market especially in Q1 2020. After this event, consumer wealth decrease.
Using the model of business fluctuations, show the effect of the COVID-19. Recall that COVID-19 shut down production in a series of important U.S. industries and caused considerable job losses. Fear of the virus caused Americans to travel less, buy fewer personal services, and consume fewer restaurant meals. (b) The Fed responded to the economic effects of COVID-19 by cutting interest rates while Congress passed a large relief package (i.e., an increase in government spending). Show each of these effects on a separate diagram.
