In the classical model, a temporary decrease in government purchases causes the IS curve and the FE line to shift to the left. In general equilibrium, if the IS curve shifts to the left more than the FE line does, the real interest rate will be before the shock O A. higher than O B. the same as it was O C. lower than

Consider the classical AS-AD model with misperceptions. Assume that the economy is initially at its general equilibrium. Now, suppose the central bank considers an increase in the nominal money supply that is not anticipated by households or firms. a. How does the misperception theory work? b. Which of the three markets is first affected (labor, goods, or asset market)? Explain and show graphically how this market is affected by an unanticipated increase in the nominal money supply. c. Use the classical version of the AS-AD model with misperceptions to explain and to show graphically how an unanticipated increase in the nominal money supply affects the short-run equilibrium. d. Use the classical version of the AS-AD model with misperceptions to explain and to show graphically how an unanticipated increase in the nominal money supply affects the long-run (general) equilibrium.
are these the correct answers? 1) In the classical view, if savings exceeds investment borrowing in the economy interest rates will fall.- true 2) The self adjustment process began with falling wages and then allowed for prices to fall and sales to increase. -true 3)In the classical model, a reduction in AD leads to a new equilibrium at a very low rate of output and employment. -false
In this question, we assume Canada is a closed economy and is in its long-run equilibrium. TransCanada announced that they will not proceed with the East Energy pipeline in October 2017. a) According to the long-run classical model, what happens to the equilibrium levels of output, real interest rate, and investment in Canada after TransCanada made this announcement? What happens to the real wage in Canada? Explain your answer with the aid of TWOdiagrams - one for the loanable funds market and one for the labour market. b) (Continued from part a) As time passes (i.e., in the very long run which will be 10-15 years from now), what happens to the stocks of productive inputs in Canada? How would this change in the stocks of productive inputs affect the equilibrium levels of output and real interest rate in Canada? What happens to the real wage in Canada? Explain, and support your answer by a new set of loanable funds market and one for the labour market diagrams
In the AD/AS model, what prevents the economy from achieving equilibrium at potential output?
Compare the effects of a negative demand shock, for example, a decline in autonomous investment, in the Kesnesian and Classical models show the effects of this shock on the level of real income, employment, the price level and the rate of interest in both models Answer this question only by using diagrams.
a) In the classical model, what is the impact of changes in the demand for goods and services on aggregate output? b) Did classical economists pay much attention to the supply-side effects of changes in income tax rates in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? Why or why not? What about supply-side economics?
E2 The classical economist’s solution to the Great depression was A) reduce the wage rate, B) increase aggregate demand, C) increase the money supply. Explain your choice. The Keynes major problem with the classical model was that: A) it focused too much on money, B) it was a short run model, C) it lacked a reasonable disequilibrium adjustment mechanism. Explain your choice.
Observe the classical version of the IS-LM model with all misperceptions. What is the main assumption and the main implication? How does the misperception theory work?
Consider a country whose economic structure matches the assumptions of the classical model. After reading a recent best-seller documenting a growing population of low-income elderly people who were ill prepared for retirement, most residents of this country decide to increase their saving at any given interest rate. Explain whether or how this could affect the following: a. The current equilibrium interest rate b. Current equilibrium real GDP c. Current equilibrium employment d. Current equilibrium investment e. Future equilibrium real GDP
State with the brief reas whether following statements are true or false. (A) The Classical economics believed that if there were employment in an economy it would tend to be eliminated by a fall in the price level. (B) Stagflation is caused by a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve. (C) Labour Force shifts the Short run aggregate supply curve but not the long run aggregate supply curve. (D) CPI and GDP deflator tell tge similar story about inflation. (E) Macroeconomics never propose to eliminate unemployment.
A friend of yours (who has not taken macroeconomics) has just read that Keynesian theory represented a direct attack on Classical theory. They don't understand either theory and knows you (having just taken macroeconomics) are well-versed in both. They ask you to explain the basic differences between how Keynes and the Classics understood the business cycle and their respective policy prescriptions. Your answer should probably include: a) a basic explanation of what full-employment GDP means and how it relates to the stability condition S=| (or, equivalently, leakages = injections); b) an explanation of why the Classicals believed that any movement away from full-employment GDP would be quickly fixed/reversed; c) an explanation of why Keynes thought the Classicals* "auto-correcting" story was problematic, i.e., a detailed explanation of Keynes' multiplier concept (how did Keynes believe a recession would unfold (step-by-step) and why did he believe it could persist); d) an explanation…
