Consider an economy producing at Y, = 0 and ū = 1/4. The inflation rate at t = 0 is no = 3% . Now, suppose the economy is hit by an inflation shock ōj = ōz = 3%. The shock is temporary and ö = 0 for t > 2. For the duration of the inflation shock, the economy is in a recession with Ý1 = Y2 = -1%, which ends with Y3 = 0. Based on this information, you know that the inflation rate 73 i percent.

Assume that the price level in an economy is stable with expected inflation initially equal to 3% in period 0. Further assume the economy is then hit by an expansion at the beginning of period 1, and employment remains at a constant high level until the beginning of period 4. With ‘time period’ on the xaxis and ‘inflation rate’ on the y-axis: (i) Plot the path of the bargaining gap (assume it is equal to 1%), inflation and expected inflation from period 1 to the end of period 4. (ii) Provide some reasons for why the bargaining gap might disappear after period 4, and state any other assumptions you are making. (iii) Explain how an increase in the central bank’s policy interest rate would affect the exchange rate through the market for financial assets (such as government bonds). What impact would this have on aggregate demand?
Assume the economy of Country X is operating above its full-employment output level. Using a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply, show the short-run equilibrium, labeling the equilibrium price level as PLe and the equilibrium output as Ye. Draw a single correctly labeled graph and show both a short-run and a long-run Phillips curve. Identify a point that could represent the short-run equilibrium in part (a) and label it as Z. Assume that the central bank of Country X wants the economy to be in full-employment equilibrium. What open-market operation should the central bank initiate? Given your answer in part (c), what will be the effect of the central bank’s open-market operation on each of the following in the short run? The nominal interest rate Employment. Explain. Assume that the real interest rate increases in Country X. Will the international value of Country X’s currency increase, decrease, or…
Consider an AD-AS model with AD curve Y – Y* = - αγ (π - π*) + εand AS curve π = π + φβ(Y – Y*) + εwith parameter values α = 0.5, γ = 1, φ = 1, β = 0.5,and with inflation target π* = 0.02 and potential output normalised to Y* = 1.Starting from a long-run equilibrium with π = π* suppose there is a temporary demand shock ε = -0.05. Which of the following is TRUE? 1.In the short run, output is 5% below trend 2.In the short run, output is 4% below trend 3.In the short run, inflation is 1% 4.In the long run, output is 5% below trend
Suppose that natural real GDP is constant For every 1 Suppose that natural real GDP is constant. For every 1 percent increase in the rate of inflation above its expected level, firms are willing to increase real GDP by 2 percent. The output ratio is initially 100 and the inflation rate equals 2 percent. (a) Based upon the preceding information, draw the short-run Phillips Curve. (b) What is the growth rate of nominal GDP in the economy? An adverse supply shock raises the inflation rate associated with every output ratio by 3 percentage points. (c) Draw the new short-run Phillips Curve. (d) The government chooses to follow a neutral policy in response to this shock. What will be the growth rate of nominal GDP? What will be the new rate of inflation? What will be the output ratio? (e) If the government chooses to follow an accommodating policy, what would be the new inflation rate? The output ratio? The growth rate of nominal GDP? (f) If the government chooses to follow an…
Consider an economic shock that results in a decrease in aggregate demand for the economy, creating an output gap where GDP is lower than potential.In the short run, what is the expected changes to firm production levels, the price level in the economy, and the unemployment rate?2. In the medium run, what happens to capacity utilization? How do changes to capacity and unemployment cause pressure for lower inflation? What is the expected response from the Federal Reserve? 3. In the long run, what is the expected outcome for GDP, unemployment, and inflation if monetary policy is successful?
Determine the impact of the each of following types of shocks on output and inflation in the short-run and long-run. (Use AS-AD-LRAS curves to illustrate your reasoning). A decline in consumer confidence. An increase in inflation expectations. An increase in export demand.
An economy is currently in a recession. (a) Draw a single correctly labeled graph with both the short-run and long-run Phillips curves. Label the current short-run equilibrium as point X. (b) Is the expected inflation rate greater than, less than, or equal to the actual inflation rate? (c) Will borrowers on fixed-rate loans benefit from the situation that you identified in part (b)? Explain. (d) Assume the government budget is balanced. In the absence of any discretionary policy action, will the government budget move into surplus, deficit, or remain in balance? Explain. (e) On your graph in part (a), show how the economy will adjust in the long run in the absence of any discretionary policy action. (f) Now assume instead the government increases spending without changing taxes to close the recessionary gap. What effect will this policy have on the national debt? (g) Draw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market and show the effect of the change in the national debt…
If inflation rises from 10 to 14 percent, explain what happens to real and nominal interestrates according to the Fisher effect?detailed answer if possible
The economy shown here begins at a 0% output gap. Now suppose that banks begin to fear the risk of default and the risk premium rises by 2%. If inflation expectations remain unchanged, the actual inflation rate will be: A.) 2% higher B.) 1% higher C.) 1% Lower D.) 4% Lower
Aggregate demand function is given by Y=7000-20P; the short-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.
Suppose an economy is characterized by the following three equations: where the first equation is an aggregate-supply function written in the form of an expectations-augmented Phillips curve, the second is an IS or aggregate-demand relationship, and the third is a money-demand equation, where ∆m denotes the growth rate of the nominal money supply. The real interest rate is denoted by r and the nominal rate by i, with Let the central bank implement policy by setting i to minimize the expected value of Assume that the policy authority has forecasts ef , uf , and vf of the shocks but that the public forms its expectations prior to the setting of i and without any information on the shocks. a. Assume that the central bank can commit to a policy of the form prior to knowing any of the realizations of the shocks. Derive the optimal commitment policy (i.e., the optimal values of c0, c1, c2, and c3). b. Derive the time-consistent equilibrium under discretion. How does the…
