In the IS-MP framework, starting from macroeconomic equilibrium at a 0% output gap: (a) a rise in the real interest rate will lead to (a recession, inflation). (b) a rise in the real interest rate will lead to (a negative output gap, a positive output gap). (c) a rise in the real interest rate will lead to (lower sales forecasts, higher sales forecasts).

The following questions relate to long-run macroeconomic equilibrium and the stock market boom. Assume that a hypothetical economy is at long-run macroeconomic equilibrium, with full employment and stable prices. Suddenly the stock market prices increase much more than expected, increasing investor’s wealth, and causing a short-term period of unusually increased optimism about the future of the economy. Only need help with Subparts 4-5 In the short-run, will the AS curve or the AD curve shift, and in which direction will it shift? In the short-run, what will happen to the price level and quantity of output (real GDP)? Explain what, if any, impact will there likely be on workers’ wages, and the reasons for this impact. In the long-run, which curve will shift due to the change in wages and price expectations created by the stock market boom? In which direction will it shift? When the economy returns to its long-term output level, how will the new long-run macroeconomic equilibrium…
Keynesian economics predicts that if government policy makers deem current equilibrium real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to be "too low," then an appropriate policy action would be to do nothing, because the economy is self-adjusting. raise government spending, thereby increasing aggregate demand and pushing up real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with little or no inflationary consequences. increase taxes, thereby causing aggregate demand to increase and inducing a rise in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with little or no inflationary consequences. reduce the money stock, thereby causing aggregate demand to decrease and inducing a rise in fall in the price level that generates an increase in total planned expenditures.
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. 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.
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
Consider the ISLM model. If the government and central bank used a combination of expansionary fiscal policy and expansionary monetary policy, which of the following would occur? (a) There would be a rise in equilibrium national income and a fall in the equilibrium rate of interest. (b) There would be a fall in equilibrium national income and a fall in the equilibrium rate of interest. (c) There would be a rise in equilibrium national income and an unknown effect on interest rates. (d) There would be a fall in equilibrium national income and a rise in the equilibrium rate of interest.
The Great Recession was characterized by a collapse in housing prices, and a subsequent crunch in credit. Begin with the market for bank loans in equilibrium. A credit crunch occurs when the supply of bank loans contract leading to higher interest rates on bank loans. As interest rates on bank loans increase, what happens to durable consumption and planned investment, and why? These changes alter the Keynesian PAE model.
Assume that a closed economy finds that households have become wealthier. Which one of the following options correctly describes the effects of this increase in wealth on the equilibrium interest rate and level of output in the IS-LM model? (a) Equilibrium output and income will decrease as the interest rate increases; (b) Equilibrium output and income levels will increase and the interest rate will remained unchanged; (c) Equilibrium output and income will decrease but the interest rate will remain unchanged; (d) Equilibrium output and income will increase as the interest rate decreases.
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 following question relates only to the equilibrium in the goods market IN A CLOSED ECONOMY and asks you to carry out a graphical analysis using both the Keynesian cross diagram together with the IS-MP diagram. >>) Suppose after the government has implemented the reduction in taxation that the central bank wants to keep the level of investment at the same level as before the tax reduction. How can the central bank intervene in the market to achieve this goal? Explain and illustrate graphically how the central bank can keep investment at the same level as before. Is there any additional impact of the central bank intervention on output, consumption and interest rates? If so what is the impact?
Explain the principles of the new keynesian stabilisation policies in the case of a positive output gap?
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.
Which one of the following statements is true? In the pre-Keynesian era, prices were assumed not to fully adjust. In the Keynesian model diagram, prices are fixed. GDP is a value of goods and services domestically produced in a country at a given point in time. Say's Law says that demand creates its own production. In the IS/LM model, the interest rate is a function of investment.
