Use the IS-LM model to describe the short-run effects of a decrease in the money supply on the equilbrium output and real interest rate. Assuming the economy is in a long-run equilibrium before the shock, also explain how the price level changes over time, and what happens to the economy in the long run. Use the AS-AD framework for this part of the question. Add diagrams to illustrate the answer - you can use the attachment feature of the answer editor to upload your chart.
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?

Assume that a country’s economy is in a short-run equilibrium and the actual unemployment rate is lower than the natural rate of unemployment. Using a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply curve, short-run aggregate supply curve, and aggregate demand curve, show each of the following. Current price level, labeled PL1, and current output level, labeled Y1 The full-employment output level, labeled YF. What open-market operation can the country’s central bank use to move the economy toward its long-run equilibrium? Use a correctly labeled money-market graph to show how the country’s central bank action to move the economy toward its long-run equilibrium affects the equilibrium nominal interest rate in the short run. Based on the interest rate change from part (c), will each of the following increase, decrease, or remain the same in the short run? Real output. Explain. Natural rate of unemployment Assume instead that the central bank does not pursue…
For each of the following scenarios, assume the economy experiences an exogenous decrease in investment demand. For each case, illustrate the IS-LM-FX diagram and state the effect of the shock (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous) on the following variables: Y, i, E, C, I, TB. Here, we assume the policy makers’ objective is to keep output fixed at its initial value
In the New Keynesian model, suppose that in the short run the central bank cannot observe aggregate output or the shocks that hit the economy. However, the central bank would like to come as close as possible to economic efficiency. That is, ideally the central bank would like the output gap to be zero. Suppose initially that the economy is in equilibrium with a zero-output gap. (a) Suppose that there is a shift in money demand. That is, the quantity of money demanded increases for each interest rate and level of real income. How well does the central bank perform in relative to its goal? Explain using diagrams. (b) Suppose that firms expect total factor productivity to increase in the future. Repeat part (a). (c) Suppose that total factor productivity increases in the current period. Repeat part (a). (d) Explain any differences in your results in parts (a)–(c) and explain what this implies about the wisdom of following an interest rate rule for the central bank. Problem 6 assumes that…

Further assume that the equilibrium unemployment rate in the economy is 2.3%.Following a permanent, positive aggregate demand shock, which of the following are potential long-rununemployment rates in this economy? a.12% b.6% c.8.3% d.2.3% e.all of the above
Assume that as a consequence of an IS shock the economy is initially at a point with output above equilibrium (y > ye), and inflation of 4% above a 2% target. By means of a diagram, explain how the central bank will respond to this new information about economic conditions and discuss the effects on the economy.
Explain the IS LM model for reduced policy rate in goods and services market and finincal market
The economy is currently producing at potential output. The relationship between the real interest rate and short-run output is described by an IS curve with b = 0.5. The current real interest rate is 6% and the MPK is 3%. Now suppose that a negative aggregate demand shock causes short-run output to drop to -2.25%. To stimulate investment and bring the economy back to potential output, the central bank must set the real interest rates to percent.
