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.

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
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.
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?
From 1990 to 1995, the U.S. economy was in a recessionary gap. According to the classical economists, which of the following should have occurred? Group of answer choices interest rates should have fallen which would increase consumer and investment spending prices should have fallen which would increase consumer spending all of the above should have occurred wages should have fallen which would cause more workers to be hired
The United States is experiencing a recession and the government takes action to fix it, we hope. Assume that businesses are granted a tax credit on spending for machinery. Using a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market, show the effect of the business sector’s response on the real interest rate. Explain what happens. Using a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand and aggregate supply, show the impact of this tax credit on each of the following in the short-run. Aggregate demand Output Explain what happens. Given your answers above, explain what will happen to the country’s production possibilities curve in the long run.
Suppose the economy of a hypothetical country has reached its long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs. The economy of a hypothetical country has been stable for two or three years with very low unemployment. Wages have been gradually increasing during this time. Now stock market prices begin significant increases, causing peoples’ investments, such as their retirement accounts and other investments, to increase in value. People feel very good about the future and use their new-found wealth to buy things that they had been hesitant to purchase in the past. Describe, in a short essay inserted below these questions, how the economic situation will change and how the government could best respond to these changes. Include detailed answers to the following questions in your essay: What kind of economic gap will start to occur (inflationary or recessionary)? What kind of fiscal policy might be helpful to stabilize the economy…
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
According to the Keynesian ideas on Aggregate Demand, a macroeconomist would most likely expect business expenditure to increase when ... Group of answer choices a. Interest rates are low and expected returns are low b. Interest rates are high and expected returns are high c. Interest rates are low and expected returns are high d. Interest rates are high and expected returns are low
Using graphs, explain how interst rate works in the classical system to stabilise aggregate demand in the face of autonomous changes in components of aggregate demand such as investment or government spending.
Suppose labor demand decreases because of negative supply shock. How would you expect such a change to affect output, employment, and the real wage in the classical model?
In the Neoclassical model of determination of income in the long run we assumed that aggregate consumption was an increasing function of disposable income, , and nothing else. Suppose that instead we assume that consumption is an increasing function of disposable income, , and a decreasing function of the real interest rate, . Provide an economic rationale for making consumption a function of the real interest rate. How does this assumption change the national saving function relative to the benchmark model?
