South Korea, Japan, and China are the major buyers of Qatar’s natural gas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these counties suffered from a sharp reduction in economic growth rates. Based on our discussion of chapters 9 and 10, Use the AD and AS macroeconomic equilibrium model to show, graphically, the short run and long run impact of the low economic rates in South Korea, Japan, and China on the macroeconomic equilibrium in the Qatari’s economy (Ceteris Paribus). Assume that Qatar’s economy was initially operating at the potential level of GDP and there is no government or central bank intervention. Briefly explain

6.1.What is an AD-AS model and what does such a model as per the givendiagram essentially focus on?6.2.Discuss the diagram in detail by first explaining what leads to step Step 1(representing a shift in curves on the diagram) and indicating what occursto cause shifts in some of the curves. Then discuss Step 2 (whichrepresents other macroeconomic changes) and indicate what happens toother variables when there are shifts in some of the curves as per Step 1. 6.3.What, in general, do the points of intersection between the AS and AS2curves and the AD curve show?6.4.When the LAS curve moves to the right to LRAS2, what exactly do thepoints of intersection between the AS and AS curves and the AD1 curve,indicated as point 1 and point 2, reflect on the diagram?
Draw and properly label an AD-AS model to show Keynesian, intermediate, and neoclassical zones. Then, briefly explain the levels of unemployment, inflation and real GDP in each zone, and also confirm whether all three goals of a macro economy are being achieved in each zone. 2. Draw and properly label the AD-AS graphs or one AD-AS graph to show recessionary and inflationary gaps. Then, discuss in detail how Keynesians suggest that recessionary and inflationary gaps be closed. 3. Draw and properly label AD-AS graphs or one AD-AS graph to show recessionary and inflationary gaps. Then, discuss in detail how neoclassicals suggest that recessionary and inflationary gaps be closed.
For each situation below, analyse whether it shifts the aggregate demand (AD) curve, the aggregate-supply (AS) curve, both, or neither. Then, if it does shift a curve, construct the AD-AS diagram to show the effect on the economy in the long-run. a) One extraordinary impact of COVID-19 pandemic to the U.S. economy is a massive increase in saving. U.S. recorded nearly tripled saving over the first two quarters of 2020, from $1.59 trillion annualized in the first quarter to $4.69 trillion in the second, which is by far the biggest increase in modern history. b) The prolonged monsoon rain has caused the production of vegetables in Cameron Highlands fell by about 30%. It has severely impacted a lot of crops, including fruits and flowers. Besides, labor shortages due to the pandemic makes the matters worse.
Please note that this is a multi part quesition; thank you so much for your time and effort it means so much to me! Figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model (Image normally goes here) Part 1: Why does Hayek’s aggregate supply curve always lead to an equilibrium level of national output equal to the full-employment level of real GDP? Part2: Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek’s idea that governments cannot increase real GDP beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce? Part 3: Do you believe that the Hayek’s classical AD-AS model explain the factors that cause changes (shifts) in AS realistically? Why or why not?
Using the AS-AD model, graph and explain the effects of Covid-19 on the U.S. macroeconomy by comparing 2019 vs. 2020. Label the years on all curves, the axis, and the equilibrium. Ignore macroeconomic policy responses, such as the CARES act. Which curves shifted which direction, and why?
The government of South Africa responded to the COVID 19 pandemic by implanting a number of short-term measures to save the economy. Using the Aggregate Demand- Aggregate Supply (AD-AS) model can be used to illustrate that by choosing the right combination of measures (policies) it is possible for the economy to grow and ease the distress on the economy. Discuss four demand-side measures that policy makers can implement to expand the economy?
1. When the federal government engages in COVID-19 fiscal stimulus such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan Act this will affect the AD-AS model by: Group of answer choices a. Decreasing aggregate demand (AD). b. Increasing aggregate demand (AD). c. Decreasing aggregate supply (AS). d. Increasing aggregate supply (AS).
On the graph, label your starting AD line as AD 2019. Draw a new AD line showing the change to AD due to the pandemic. Label your starting SRAS line as SRAS 2019. Draw a new SRAS line showing the change to supply due to the pandemic.Label the new short-run equilibrium RGDP and Price Level. Does output (i.e. RGDP) increase or decrease in your model? Does the price level increase or decrease in your model? According to the AD-AS model when RGDP falls the unemployment rises and vice versa. Does your graph indicate an increase or decrease in the unemployment rate
