Coronavirus pandemic and resultant shutdown measures to contain it have plunged the economies around the world including Singapore into severe contraction. Assuming Singaporean economy was in long run equilibrium in the aggregate demand and supply (AD-AS) model before the pandemic (and consequent shutdown) started, answer the questions below: a) Assuming the contraction in the Singaporean economy is mainly driven by demand side factors, Show the short-run effects of this using the AD-AS model. Carefully explain in words (100 or less) and using a graph. b) Now assume that the contraction in the Singaporean economy is mainly driven by supply side factors, Show the short-run effects of this using the AD-AS model. Carefully explain in words (100 or less) and using a graph.

Assuming Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply are initially at ADo and ASo respectively, which of the following explains the adjustment towards long-run equilibrium depicted in Figure B? a. Unemployment (resulting from the short-run equilibrium being below LRAS) causes wages to decline, which increases AS till long-run equilibrium is attained at full employment level of income and a lower price level. b. Government spending is increased, increasing AD to a level sufficient to attain long-run equilibrium at full employment level of income and a higher price level c. In attempting to produce beyond the economy's natural level of GDP, producers bid up wages and prices of other resources, causing the AS to decrease to the point where long-run equilibrium is restored. d. Taxes are increased reducing AD to a level consistent with long-run equilibrium
Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution. Which of the following will increase both the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves? A. There are fewer firms involved in perfectly competitive and monopolistically competitive market structures as the economy features more oligopolies than before. B. The wage rate temporarily decreases throughout the economy. C. Younger workers in the labour force receive better and more training than their predecessors. D. The supply of key raw materials, such as petroleum and bauxite, is reduced. Which of the following is true concerning shifts of the long-run aggregate supply curve? A. An increase in the long-run aggregate supply curve causes its slope to become steeper as real GDP increases. B. An increase in the long-run aggregate supply curve causes greater unemployment. C. An increase in the long-run aggregate supply curve is depicted as a rightward shift and an increase in real GDP. D. A decrease…
Which of the following would shift the long run aggregate supply curve to the left? Decrease in consumption Decrease in the wage rate Decrease in resources Decrease in profit. All of the following would cause a decrease in the aggregate demand except Increase in interest rates Household wealth falls Dollar depreciates relative to foreign currencies Increase in tax rates.

Assume that aggregate demand is unaffected by the gas tax holiday. After the economy has fully adjusted to the gas tax holiday, the long-run effect is (an increase, no change, a decrease) in aggregate output and (an increase, no change, a decrease) in the price level.

Using the dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, illustrate and explain the impact of following policy decisions on income, unemployment and inflation in Australia in both short-run and long-run. Part (a) Due to the ongoing Omicron variant induced COVID-19 pandemic, the government is reducing the time gap for taking the booster shot for people inoculated with two doses of COVID-19 vaccine. Part (b) The building and construction industry in Australia is suffering from some logistical issues with imported construction materials as a fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is closely watching the situation and contemplating a suitable policy action. Explain and illustrate what policy stance should the RBA take and how would that remedy the problem.
