Consider the AD/AS model with a constant inflation rate. It is possible that the money supply is rising while interest rates are unchanged because... a. Declining interest rates cause the investment demand curve to shift to the left, which causes interest rates to rise back to their original level. b. The rising price level increases money demand, offsetting the impact of the rising money supply. c. The rising price level decreases money demand which pushes up interest rates. d. Declining interest rates cause the investment demand curve to shift to the right, which causes interest rates to rise back to their original leve. e. The money transmission mechanism does not apply in a situation of sustained inflation.
Consider a standard AD-AS model. The economy is affected by the following sequence of events. In period 1 there is a shock to the economy that is temporary. In period 2, the shock ends. But having observed an inflation outcome different to the inflation target, inflation expectations change from the inflation target to a value exactly equal to the observed inflation in period 1 (that is, expectations are not `anchored’). A temporary Negative demand shock would lead to output below potential in period 1, but above potential in period 2. Answer true or false. Please briefly explain your answer.
In the basic New Keynesian Model, in a liquidity trap where initially there is a positive output gap and inflation is lower than the inflation target, forward guidance is a promise by the central bank of A. lower future output than would otherwise be optimal for the central bank. B. lower current output. C. higher future inflation than would otherwise be optimal for the central bank. D. lower future inflation than would otherwise be optimal for the central bank. E. lower current inflation.
Which of the following is true in the dynamic AS-AD model? Group of answer choices The dynamic aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because the central bank follows the Taylor principle. An increase in the natural level of output increases the long-run inflation rate. To control inflation, the central bank should increase the nominal interest rate by less than one for one in response to an increase in the inflation rate. The monetary policy rule determines the slope of the dynamic aggregate supply curve.
Consider the ASAD model of a closed economy with zero ongoing inflation in the medium run. The aggregate demand curve is determined by the IS-LM model. The aggregate supply curve is derived from the imperfect competition model of the labour market (the WS-PS model where firms have perfect foresight, monopoly power, and use a linear technology with constant returns to labour; workers expect zero inflation in every period, and their wage requests are an increasing function of wage-push factors like unions' bargaining power). The economy is initially in the potential equilibrium. Assume a permanent increase in the bargaining power of unions. Fiscal and monetary authorities perfectly forecast this shock and decide to neutralize immediately its consequences for the price level by enacting a “policy of price stability” that successfully eliminates all fluctuations in the general price level in every period. Therefore, the economy is subject to two simultaneous shocks – the increase in…

Japan is experiencing Inflation due to excess demand. Draw a correctly labled AS/AD model representing where the economy is relative to the Natural Rate of Unemployment
Consider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy. Write down the expressions for the AS and AD curves and interpret the expressions: what is the intuition behind the two curves? What must be true of the model parameters and variables in the long-run equilibrium, i.e. in the steady state? Analyse the effects of an oil supply shock that causes a temporary increase in inflation, using the three-equation model. Assume that the shock lasts for one-period and then assumes the value 2%. Describe the mechanisms that bring the economy back to long-run equilibrium. What happens to aggregate demand? 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.
Consider the AD-AS model discussed during the lectures. Assume that the aggregate demand curve is given by Y=8-0.5 π, that the long run aggregate supply curve is given by Yp=7, that the short run aggregate supply curve is given by π = π_expect + 0.3(Y-Yp), and that the monetary rule is given byr=1+0.3 π. Suppose the economy is suffering a decrease in the potential level of output, due to some ill-designed new regulation. According to the AD- AS model, what is more suitable to offset the subsequent decline in output, an expansionary monetary policy or an expansionary fiscal policy?
Q.1.10 Strikes across a wide range of industries in South Africa in the first half of 2020 can be illustrated in the AD‐AS model as a: (2) (a) Leftward shift of the AD curve; (b) Rightward shift of the AD curve; (c) Leftward shift of the AS curve; (d) Rightward shift of the AS curve.
Two potential causes of inflation above target in the AD-AS model: Demand-pull inflation: This occurs when aggregate demand (AD) increases more than the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS). In the AD-AS diagram, this would be represented by a rightward shift of the AD curve. The result is a higher price level and real GDP beyond the long-run macroeconomic equilibrium level. Cost-push inflation: This occurs when the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve shifts to the left due to increased production costs, such as rising wages or input prices. In the AD-AS diagram, this would be represented by a leftward shift of the SRAS curve. The result is a higher price level and a reduction in real GDP. how do i graph this information in an ad-as diagram
