The global pandemic has caused tremendous damage to economic and public health across the world. With the vaccine rollout, there are strong expectations for a V-shape recovery in the US economy this and next year. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with the observations/experiences so far? a. From a historical perspective, the pandemic-induced recession is a highly unusual event for the economy and markets. Pandemic is not normally a thing that drives the business cycles. b. Even during the height of pandemic, the L-shape looked unlikely for a number of reasons, including rapid large-scale policy response, political willingness, and favorable financial conditions (such as low interest rate and US$ assets as safe assets). c. Looking beyond 2021, debt overhang (both public and private) is one of the downside risks to the global economic outlook. d. None of the above are inconsistent with the observations/experiences so far.
The task I am struggling with: There were two major shocks to the U.S. economy in 2007, leading to the severe recession of 2007-2009. One shock was related to oil prices; the other was the slump in the housing market. This question analyses the effect of these two shock on GDP using the AD-AS framework. a) Draw typical aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves. Label the horizontal axis „Real GDP“ and the vertical axis „Aggregate price level“. Label the equilibrium point E1, the equilibrium quantity Y1, and the equilibrium Price1. b) Data taken from the Department of Energy indicate that the average price of crude oil in the world increased from $54.63 per barrel on January 5, 2007 to $92.93 on December 28, 2007. Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram from part a to illustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve. c) The Housing Price Index, published by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise…
Attached: figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model Question 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? Question 2 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? Question 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?

Topic: macroeconomics, AD-AS Model What Is the Effect on AD? Determine the effect on the short-run aggregate demand (AD) curve for each of the following scenarios and Please Graphically illustrate answer for each # 1-5. 1. A decrease in consumer wealth is due to a plunge in stock prices. 2. Households and businesses have more optimistic expectations regarding future economic performance 3. There are higher levels of investment spending by businesses. 4. The government cuts taxes for households and businesses. 5. The Fed decreases the money supply.
Specific subject - Macroeconomic Analyse the case of a negative supply shock caused by an increase in oil prices and compare with the shock caused by the Covid pandemic. What would be the similarities and differences between the two shocks? What would be the effect of an expansionary economic policy (increase in aggregate demand)? Graph What measures or government intervention would be most appropriate to deal with both types of shocks? Graph Compare the adjustment in both cases with and without government intervention. Graph
QUESTION 22 Which of the following is not true? OA. The extreme new classical aggregate supply curve is vertical. B. The extreme Keynesian aggregate supply curve is horizontal. OC. The extreme supply-side case has tax cuts shifting the aggregate supply curve leftward. D. The neoclassical synthesis has short-run upwards sloping aggregate supply curves and vertical long run aggregate supply curves. O E. The extreme Keynesian case has tax cuts shifting aggregate demand only.

1. The long-run aggregate supply curve reflects the amount of potential production when we are in full employment.Answer: True False 2. Long-term macroeconomic equilibrium occurs when short-term aggregate supply intercepts aggregate demand and long-term aggregate supply at the same point.Answer: True False 3. An economic cycle is the periodic but irregular movement of ups and downs in production; and is measured by fluctuations in nominal GDP.Answer: True False
Table 24.4 describes Santhers economy. Plot the AD/AS curves and identify the equilibrium. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? Would you expect prices to be a relatively large or small concern for this economy? Imagine that input prices fall and so AS shifts to the right by 150 units. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the shift in AS affect the original output, price level, and employment?
How did the Keynesian perspective address the economic market failure of the Great Depression?
Why do sticky wages and prices increase the impact of an economic downturn on unemployment and recession?
If aggregate supply is vertical, what role does aggregate demand play in determining output? In determining the price level?
