Question

Q3: Consider a baseline long run equilibrium where output is 22 trillion dollars, and the price level is 100. Note: In the Long Run Steady State Equilibrium, Price expectation is the same as price level & unemployment is 5% or lower. None of these are guaranteed in the short run. Usually, short run equilibrium is called an underemployment equilibrium.
• You should answer each step in the following answer 3 table. 

Answer 3)
Steps
Step 1) What happens in the short run to
equilibrium price level and aggregate quantity &
why? (Think about which curve shifts in which
direction and why & where is the new short run
equilibrium?)
Step 2) What happens to the initial equality
between price level and price expectations because
of COVID19?
Step 3) What happens to price expectations in the
long run? (The market adjustment phase)
Step 4) What happens next in the market
adjustment phase? (Think about which curve shifts
in which direction and why & where is the new
short run equilibrium?)
Step 5) Now that your Keynesian Colleague has
proposed a massive expansionary fiscal policy, do
you think it will work as an in-built stabilizer (i.e.,
return the economy back to a long run: would it
stop market adjustment?)? Are there policies that
you will propose as a Classical Macroeconomist that
is distinct from your Keynesian Colleague's
proposal?
