1. In the diagram for this exercise, use aggregate demand and short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves to show an economy at a short-run equilibrium with a contrac- tionary gap of $0.5 trillion when potential output is $10 trillion.Then illustrate how the gap would close in the long run if the economy is self-correcting. 2. In the diagram, use aggregate demand and short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves to show an economy at a short-run equilibrium with an expansionary gap of $0.5 trillion when potential output is $10 trillion.Then illus- trate how the gap would close in the long run using an activist approach.
Using AS and AD curves to illustrate, describe the effectsof the following events on the price level and on equilibriumGDP in the long run assuming that input prices fullyadjust to output prices after some lag:a. An increase occurs in the money supply above potentialGDPb. GDP is above potential GDP, and a decrease in governmentspending and in the money supply occursc. Starting with the economy at potential GDP, a war inthe Middle East pushes up energy prices temporarily.The Fed expands the money supply to accommodate theinflation.
Consider the following macroeconomy. All amounts are in millions (m.) of $: C = 750 + 0.8 YD I = 1200 G = 150 T = 250 Calculate eqm Y and prove that I=sum of S at this equilibrium. What is meant by the “Paradox of Thrift” (POT)? Go back to the original eqm of part a. Now prove using multiplier analysis that the POT holds in this economy by assuming that the change in co is -$50 m. As part of your answer, explain “intuitively” why this paradox exists. Show what happens in the Z-Y space graph.

Modify your macroeconomic model to reflect this change ceteris paribus and answer the following questions (questions 21 - 25). - At GDP of 7400 1. Inventories are in surplus by 80 2.

Inventories are in surplus by 80 2. Inventories are in shortage by 320 3. Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to both the Keynesian and Neoclassical economists 4.

Is the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium a full-employment equilibrium, belowfull-employment equilibrium, or above full-employment equilibrium?d. In transition to the long run, how would the wages in this economy change?e. Following from d, explain how would the short run supply curve move to its long runposition, as the changes in the nominal wages take effect.f. What will the long run price level be?
The graph below depicts an economy where an increase in aggregate demand has caused inflation. Assume the government decides to conduct fiscal policy by decreasing government purchases to restore full-employment GDP. Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number include a minus sign. a. How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? $ -160 Numeric ResponseEdit Unavailable. -160 incorrect. billion b. If the MPC is 0.9, how much do government purchases need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? $ billion Suppose instead that the MPC is 0.8. c. How much does aggregate demand and government purchases need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? Aggregate demand needs to change by $ billion and government purchases need to change by $ billion.
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
Suppose that the federal government decides to reduce the budget deficit and cuts government purchases by $200 billion and raise personal income taxes by $200 billion. Suppose the MPC = .5. a. How much and in which direction would the AD curve shift because of the government spending cut? b. How much and in which direction would the AD curve shift because of the tax increase? Show your work. c. Using the above numbers, draw the AS-AD diagram and illustrate the short-run impact of the combined policy action assuming the economy begins at potential output. Label the original equilibrium with point "A" and the new short-run equilibrium with point "B". d. Describe the impact of the policy action on employment/unemployment, spending, and prices/inflation. Be sure to include the impact of the spending multiplier. e. In moving from points "A" to point "B" on the AS-AD diagram, why do firms change their production? f. Characterize the labor market at point "B". g. Describe the process of…
11. Which of he following statements accurately explain the scenario illustrated by these diagrams? a) Assuming ADo and AEo are the original positions of the AD and AE curves respectively, the original situation illustrated is on of a recessionary gap of 10. b) To restore full-employment equilibrium Aggregate Expenditures must be increased to AE1 which is equivalent to shifting the AD curve to AD1 c) Because the short-run Aggregate Supply (AS) curve is upward sloping, the shift in AD will be associated with some products price inflation. This will cause the AE curve to decline from AE1 to AE* because of the wealth, interest rate, and trade effects of inflation. d) All the above. e) Only (a) and (b) are true f) None of the above.
When the economy is experiencing a recession, why would aneoclassical e conomist be unlikely toargue for aggressive policy to stimulate aggregate demandand return the economy to full employment? Explain your answer.
Considering the growing potential threat of terrorists’ attacks worldwide, the President of an economyapproved a fiscal spending of $24 billion to upgrade its national defense. a. Starting in a long-run equilibrium, draw a well-labelled AD-SRAS-LRAS diagram for the economy. b. Use the same diagram in part (a) to show the SR effect on the economy’s GDP (Y), the price level, andunemployment when the federal government increases its spending on national defense. c. To stabilize the price level and the economy’s GDP, what kind of monetary policy should the economyadopt? Illustrate your answer in the same diagram in (a).
