In the AD/AS model assume 2019 began with potential real GDP = $19.7 trillion, while actual real GDP = $19.0 trillion and the Price Level (GDP Deflator) = 210. A year later the Price Level = 214 and actual real GDP = $18.9. Based on their relative %3D effects on the AD/AS model, which of the following scenarios best explains this new outcome? The effect of Group of answer choices an increase in government spending is MORE than the effect of decreased electricity prices. an increase in wages is LESS than the effect of a decrease in government spending. a decrease in oil prices is MORE than the effect of positive consumer expectations. an increase in inflationary expectations is MORE than the effect of increased government spending.

Explain, using the AD‐AS model, how the South African Government can usefiscal policy as a tool to recover from the negative effects of this COVID‐19pandemic. Your answer must include the following:An explanation of how the implementation of this tool will work their waythrough the economy to achieve the desired effect;

The imaginary country of Harris Island has theaggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table24.3 shows. a. Plot the AD/AS diagram. Identify theequilibrium.b. Would you expect unemployment in thiseconomy to be relatively high or low?c. Would you expect concern about inflation in thiseconomy to be relatively high or low?d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidenceabout the state of the economy, and so ADbecomes lower by 275 at every price level.Identify the new aggregate equilibrium.e. How will the shift in AD affect the originaloutput, price level, and employment?
The long run macroeconomic performance of an economy can be reflectedfrom the changes of her major macroeconomic indicators. With appropriateinterpretations of the changes to these indicators, one can identify the inherentstructural features of an economy, and hence, identify her strengths andweaknesses. In about 250 words, write a short essay on ONE economy from the list below:i. Singapore;ii. The United Kingdom;iii. The United States.In your essay, describe the changes of major macroeconomic indicators fromthe last decade. Using them to illustrate major structural features of the choseneconomy. Based on the above, identify ONE inherent problem implied bythese structural features that might limit her macroeconomic performance inthe long run. Suggest ONE practical government policy in dealing with thisinherent problem.
Suppose, initially the Australian economy is atfull employment(in other words the economy is atthe potentialGDP). Using AD-AS model, explain how would each of the following events aectthe economy both in theimmediate and in the long term.a) A slowdown in China’s economic growth due to the sub-prime crisis in the US.b) Union wage settlements push the wage rate up.c) An increase in consumer confidence.

1. Using the AS-AD model, graph and explain the effects of Covid-19 on the U.S. macroeconomy by comparing 2019 vs. 2020. Label the years on all curves, the axis, and the equilibrium. Ignore macroeconomic policy responses, such as the CARES act. Which curves shifted which direction, and why? 2. Now introduce any macroeconomic policy response. What curves shift which direction, and why? 3. What were the equilibrium quantities for both axis?

I have to analyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomiceffects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth. Specifically, I have to suppose that households (consumers) lose confidence and start saving more for any level of disposable income. Can you plase answer the following question (using graphs too): In terms of total savings and, therefore, of potential long-term growth, is a flat LM curve or a positive sloping LM curve better?
