Suppose the government undertook a fiscal policy by increasing government expenditure by 20 percent. Clearly demonstrate how this would result in the crowding out phenomena.c. Suppose the instead of fiscal policy, the government, through its monetary authority undertook an expansionary monetary policy by increasing nominal money supply by 20 percent. Clearly demonstrate how this would result in the crowding in phenomena.
Qus 3 Explain and illustrate how a fiscal expansion can be accomodated by a monetary expansion in IS/LM framework
1) The IS-LM Model a) In the IS/LM model explain what happens to equilibrium output and interest rate if governmentsimultaneously pursues expansionary fiscal policy and the central bank opts for a contractionarymonetary policy. Show with the help of a graph along with a very brief verbal explanation. b) Label the statements below as true or false and give a brief explanation for false statementsonly. i) For a given level of P (price), if M (nominal money) increases by 10%, M/P also increases by10% ii) A monetary expansion leads to a lower output and a higher interest rate. iii) Equilibrium in the financial market implies that an increase in income leads to a decrease ininterest rate making the LM curve downward sloping. c) Assume a model economy with the following parameters:C= 100 + 0.25 YD ; I= 100 + 0.5Y - 3000iG= 125 ; T= 100 ;(M/P)d = 6Y - 24000i ; (M/P)s = 4500Derive the IS and LM relation. 2) The short and medium run a) Suppose that the mark-up of goods prices over marginal…

(2)(a) In order to combat inflation, the South African Reserve Bank must apply acontractionary fiscal policy;(b) A contractionary fiscal policy can result in higher levels of unemployment;(c) Expansionary fiscal policy will increase the budget deficit;(d) The application of fiscal policy will have no effect on aggregate supply in theAD‐AS model.
Use AD and AS curves to explain the effects on the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of output in the short run.(a) An expansionary fiscal policy with the economy operating near full capacity. (b) A contractionary monetary policy during a period of high unemployment and excess industrial capacity. (c) A strong hurricane destroys energy plants which cause energy prices to increase, assuming that the Fed attempts to keep interest rates constant by accommodating inflation. (d) The federal government pursues a contractionary fiscal policy while the Fed acts to keep output from falling.
An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs. What kind of gap - inflationary or recessionary - will the economy face after the shock, and what type of fiscal policies would help move the economy back to potential output? How would your recommended fiscal policy shift the aggregate demandcurve? (Note: you do not need to draw anything).(a) A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households.(b) Firms come to believe that a recession in the near future is likely.(c) Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment.(d) The quantity of money in the economy declines and interest rates increase.
Consider following IS-LM model: C = 200 + 0.25 · YD I = 150 + 0. 25 · Y – 1, 000 · i G = 250 T = 200 D M = 2 · Y – 8, 000 · i M = 1,600 P e) Solve for the equilibrium values of C and I! f) Solve for the equilibrium values of Y, i, C and I, if the money suppl increases to 1,840! g) Solve for the equilibrium values of Y, i, C and I, if government spending increases to 400 (the money supply is 1,600)!
9 Suppose the Republic of Newbee fixes the value of its currency, the Nam, to the dollar. In the U.S., the inflation rate is higher than the target inflation rate set by the Fed. The Fed then decides to reduce the money supply in the U.S. How will Newbee be affected by this action by the Fed. Use the DD/AA model to explain and graph your answer. Based on your answers can the government of Newbee use fiscal policy to stabilize Newbee’s real GDP? Explain and graph using the DD/AA
Exercise 1 a) Use the equation for the circular flow of the real economy to give an overview of thedemand side components and tie players in the macroeconomy to each of thesecomponents.b) How can you use the equation for the circular flow to discuss the effect of fiscal policyand monetary policy?c) As a follow up from part b), discuss the statement: “During the pandemic, expansionarymonetary policy did not boost the economy as expected”.d) For the following two cases, use the equation for the real interest rate to give anexample for each case using numbers for real interest rate, nominal interest rateand inflation. Explain each number you select.Case 1: A situation where it is a real cost if you borrow money.Case 2: A situation where it is a real gain if you borrow money.e) Let GDP (Gross Domestic Product) as a simplification, only be one good, apples.
