Assume, while an economy is in long-run equilibrium, an adverse supply shock occured, such as energy prices have incrased. The central bank decides to accommodate this shock and restores the equilibrium quickly. What would be the effect of this policy action on inflation? Explain and illustrate with the help of an AD-AS diagram.

Suppose Chino is a closed economy. A large portion of the work force has joint astrong labor union. As such, the nominal wages of most workers are downwardrigid.Suppose most households lose their wealth in a recent clash of the stock market.How would the price and output level of Chino be affected in the short run?Explain by using the AD-AS model. Particularly, use the sticky-wage model ofaggregate supply to explain the magnitude of the effects on price and output.
If there is a oil price shock, assuming that it is a temporary phenomenon, where eventually price decline. Can anyone help me with the following qns (Using Price Level and Real GDP as the axis titles) Explain and illustrate the short-run effect of a temorary oil price shock on macroeconomic equilibrium using the AD-AS Explain and illustrate the adjustment process back to long-run equilibrium based on the following: Self-correcting mechanism (i.e., with no policy response). Active stabilisation response (i.e., with policy response). Note, there are TWO active stabilisation polices Explain both. Based on your answers in Qn 2, does the ‘divine coincidence’ hold? Where the meaning is in relation to having no trade-off between price stability and maintaining economic activity.
Critically discuss why oil price shocks in the US may have had different effectsin the 1970s versus the 2000s before the Financial Crisis. Use three-panelgraphs of the IS-LM-PC model and graphs of inflation over time to help explainyour answe
Aggregate demand function is given by Y=7000-20P; the shirt-run aggregate supply function is given by Y=6000+5(P-Pe). The economy was in equilibrium when the government unexpectedly increased its spending which led to a shift of the aggregate demand curve to Y=7500-20P. What's the rate of inflation? Please illustrate the calculations by means of an AS-AD graph.
My question is (c). Basically, AS curve becoming steeper can be reflected by the value of v bar increases, showing that inflation is more sensitive to SR AD shock. However, this is no impact on AS shock theoretically, as AS shock relates to the change of o bar. So I guess maybe the provided solution is wrong, could u please check it for me? Thanks a lot!

What would happen when there are money demand shock and money supply shock? Explain it by using IS-LM and AD-AS framework.
what is the mean by the "time inconsistency"of economic policy? why might policymakers be tempted to renege on an annoucement they made earlier ? in this situation, what is the advantage of a policy rule? explain how it might arise in the case of the short run trade off between inflation and unemployement?
In the basic New Keynesian model, suppose that there is an increase in government spending. • First, suppose that the central bank does nothing (accommodates the shock). Illustrate onthe graphs and explain what will be the effects on inflation and output? • Second, suppose that economy initially has inflation equal to the central bank’s inflationtarget and an output gap of zero. What action do you expect the central bank wouldundertake? Illustrate you answer on the graph and explain. PLEASE SHOW ALL HAND WRITTEN STEPS AND WORK!
Suppose that the oil price sharply increased for a while, which increased production costs, causing an adverse supply shock. Use the AD-AS model to show the effects on output and the price level in both the short- run and long-run. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short-run to the long-run. What is the effect on unemployment in short-run and long-run? Can policymakers do something to accommodate this shock? Would the outcome be different in this case?
In the AD-SRAS-LRAS model, what is the only possible way to simultaneously lower inflation (downward pressure on the price level, P) and increase employment (lower unemployment)? [This is just a question on how the schedules can geometrically show this result (no need to draw a diagram).]
(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.
