In the basic New Keynesian model, suppose that there is an increase in the future marginal product of capital. Explain your results with the aid of diagrams. Suppose that the central bank keeps the nominal interest rate at its initial value. What will be the effect on current inflation and on output? Suppose that the economy initially faces an increase in anticipated future inflation and a zero output gap. When the shock occurs, what should the central bank do?
A. What assumptions did Thomas Sargent make when he claimed that inflation is always and everywhere a fiscal phenomenon?" B. Why is it appropriate in the book's short-term model for the author to use the Phillips Curve as an Aggregate Supply curve? Does it capture the working of the labor market as well as an AS curve based, say, on sticky wages? C. Provide an example of the book's short-run model being based on "microfoundations."
Explain the procedure of that the New Keynesian economist use to document the effect of surprise shocks to the economy.
“I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation, usuallyinflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.” F.A Hayek.“The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very oftenmakes the problem worse.” M. Friedman“Every government intervention [in the marketplace] creates unintended consequences,which lead to calls for further government interventions.” Ludwig von Misesa) The above quotes criticizes government interventionism to the economy. But,Keynesians believe that there is no way to stabilize the markets other than throughgovernment intervention (spending, taxes, planning and regulation). By givingreferences to the end of the Keynesian Era, explain why government interventionismhas lost its popularity after the 1970s.
in 2012 japan prime minister shinzo Abi decided to increase money supply from 120 to 240 trillion in two years through quantitative easing and buying government bonds and this move was touted as "Abenomic at that time" 1-Average Inflation was 0% 2- Real Wage growth was -1.5% 3- Real GDP growth was 2% 4- Unemployment rate was 4.4% Use the AS/AD model to make inferences of the impact of the policy. What was the government trying to do?
Compare and contrast n the Classical, Keynesian and Monetarists view of monetary policy. Include in the analysis if monetary policy is thought to be effective by all schools. Furthermore, what role does money play in the economy? What is the source of inflation?
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…
Why Keynesian economics become popular back in 1930’s. Do you think that during 2005-08 financial crisis, Keynesian 1930 solution work for the economy? Explain your answer
One of the business cycle factsis that “the nominal money supply is a pro-cyclicaland leading variable”. Traditional Keynesian theory explains this fact with the transmissionmechanism of money. The New Classical approach uses misperceptions theory explanation. TheRBC theorist try to explain the relationship with reverse causation theory.a. According to Keynesian theory, under what conditions money would be effective to havereal effects? If money is effective to have real effects, explain the transmission mechanism thatshows the causation from money to output.b. According to the “misperceptions theory of business cycles”, how and why an increase innominal money supply causes an increase in real output in the short run by affecting thebehavior of producers? Does your answer change if the monetary shock is anticipated orunanticipated? Explain by using the IS-LM-FE and AD-AS Frameworks.c. Explain how reverse causation could occur and what is the explanation from RBC theoristthat money is…
During the early 1990’s, Japan experienced an asset price bubble collapse followed by a massive decrease in economic activity. At that time, Japanese inflation was running at 1.76% a)Assuming that inflation expectations in Japan were equal to the previous period’s inflation rate, show (and explain), using the multiplier model, the labour market model, and the Phillips Curve, how the abovementioned asset price bubble collapse led to drop in economic activity in the short-run and deflationary pressure into the medium run (MR), ceteris paribus b) Explain the concept of the zero lower bound, and show how it can lead to a deflationary spiral. Use the Fisher equation to aid your explanation.
How does high inflation lead to a recession in the country? Explain the role ofthe Government and the Central Bank to address the economic recessionproblem by using appropriate fiscal and monetary policies. Are there anypotential problems with such policies?( Answer in 1000 words)
Assume an economy’s annual money velocity in circulation is 10. Please answer the following two question: In the view of monetarists (i.e. neoclassical view), if the annual economic growth rate is 6%, what should be the money supply increasing rate to maintain a low inflation rate as 3%?
