In a Keynesian framework, using an AD/AS diagram, which of the following government policy choices offer a possible solution to recession? Which offer a possible solution to Inflation? A tax Increase on consumer income. A surge in military spending. A reduction in (axes for businesses that Increase investment. A major Increase in what the U.S. government spends on healthcare.
(c). Consider an economy that starts out in steady state when the central bank decides to make the inflation target more ambitious. Analyse the effects of a decrease in the inflation target from ? to ??. Explain the mechanisms behind the adjustment to the new steady state.
1. Another economy has the production Y = A * K^0.5 * L^0.5, the marginal product MPL = 0.5 * A * K^0.5 / L^0.5, in which K = 144 and the supply of labor w = 5 * EP/P *L^0.5 Productivity is A=50. In absence of shocks and policies, EP/P=1, the number of jobs is L = 60, and wage is w = 38.73. But now inflation is slower than expected, with EP/P=1.2. Find the new equilibrium number of workers. 2. Find the new equilibrium wage at EP/P=1.2 3. Graph the change in the labor market equilibrium. Mark the before and after equilibria with E0 and E1. Label axes and curves, map relevant values onto axes. 4. Now let's consider this same scenario in terms of the accelerationist Phillips curve. The labor force is N=64. Find the rates of unemployment before and after as (N-L)/N and map them into our surprise inflation indexes, EP/P. Label the natural rate of unemployment, show the cyclical rate of unemployment.

1. Suppose that the oil price sharply increased for a while, which increased production costs, causing an adverse supply shock. A. Use the AD-AS model to show the effects on output and the price level in both the short- run and long-run. B. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short-run to the long-run. C. What is the effect on unemployment in short-run and long-run? D. Can policymakers do something to accommodate this shock? Would the outcome be different in this case?
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."
32 There is a new central bank president who wants low inflation much more than the previous president did. According to the Augmented Phillips Curve Model, in this situation, which of the following would be the most help in keep unemployment from rising in the sort run? a.People know the central bank president's true desires and believe he will stay in office for a long time b.Peoples' wage wage contracts are long-lasting. c.People know the central bank president's true desires and believe that he will only be in office for a short time. d.People think that the central bank president's desires are the same as the previous president's and believe that the new president will be in office for a short time. e.People think that the central bank president's desires are the same as the previous president's and believe that the new president will be in office for a

1. In an OLG model with money: Each gen picks 12 banans when young, 4 bananas when old. Central bank prints out 2 units of money, given to gen 0 for free. A. In equilibrium, 1 money = ______ bananas. B. The level of employment is _____ in each period. (how many people are employed each period) C. The unemployment rate in this economy is ______%. what other information do you need? I dont have any other information, this is all that I was given.
The response of Central Bank to shocks depends on its goal. Suppose Central Bank A cares only about keeping the price level stable and Central Bank B cares only about keeping output and employmentat their natural levels. Explain with the help of graph how each Central Bank would respondto the following. 1)An exogenous decrease in the velocity of money. 2) An exogenous increase in the price of oil.
4. In the real business cycle model, suppose a war or natural disaster destroys some of the: nation's capital stock. The central bank goal is to stabilize the price level. Given this goal, what should the central bank do in response to the disaster? 5. Explain how the real business cycle model can explain why the price level is countercyclical at some times, and uncorrelated with output at other times.
