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?

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 positive demand shock would lead to output above potential in period 1, but below potential in period 2. Answer true or false. Please briefly explain your answer.

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.
in the Lucas Imperfect Information model, do aggregate demand shocks have real affects? Explain. What is the implication of this result for stabilisation policy?
According to the Keynesian model, demand shocks affect output in the short run because: nominal wages are sticky. employment can be adjusted quickly. real wages do not change as inflation changes. None of the above.
By using appropriate diagrams, discuss the role of the monetary and fiscal policies in the New Keynesian sticky price model.
The economy of Pakistan has faced both a supply demand shock in the first quarter of 2020. Using the AS/AD model explain how you expect the economy to behave in the short and long run. How does the decision to reduce the policy rate impact the economy. Explain using the ISLM model focusing on impacts on the goods and services market and the financial market.
The AS/AD (Aggregate Supply/Aggregate Demand) model is used for policymaking. Using the AS/AD model, graphically illustrate and describe the effect of an Expansionary Monetary Policy by the MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) by decreasing the repo rate.
Using the AD-AS model, draw a graph and explain the effect of the implementation of a restrictive monetary policy on the equilibrium price level and the equilibrium level of output.
Apply the simple Keynesian model to discuss how feedback loops may affect the response of national output to aggregate demand shocks.
When aggregate output is below the natural rate of output, what happens to the inflation rate over time if theaggregate demand curve remains unchanged? Why?
Question 6 Indicate whether each view follows the traditional (neoclassical) view of money, banking, and capitalist economies, or the (post)Keynesian view. Question 6 options: Money precedes production Production precedes money The level of investment depends most significantly on expectations ('animal spirits') Loans create the money necessary to invest, and therefore to produce and generate an income to deposit into banks. (loans create deposits) Deposits into banks create the funds that get loaned out. (deposits create loans) The level of investment depends most significantly on the interest rate Money developed through rational, private actors in an attempt to economize on transaction costs 1.
