Consider a small country with perfect K mobility in full eqm (ISXM-LM-BOP) with a recessionary gap, Y<Y Full Employment, FE. a. If this country has a fixed e, will an “expenditure switching” policy (what is that?) be able to fix this recessionary gap? Why or why not? Explain and show in the appropriate space. Is sterilization possible? b. If this country has a flexible e, which macro policy – fiscal policy (FP) or monetary policy (MP) – should it use to get to YFE? Explain and show in the appropriate space. Use directional arrows to show how all IS components have changed from the initial to the final eqm.

MACRO ECONOMIC BALANCE IS-LM CURVE MODEL.First, draw the economic balance in the goods market and the money marketa. Give an analysis accompanied by a picture of what will happen to the interest rate and Y balance if the government implements an expansionary fiscal policy (eg G increases) ? b.

What is the impact on the balance in the goods market and the money market (IS)?

There is currently a political and academic controversy whether or not stimulus packagesagainst the Covid-induced economic recession will cause inflation. Professor OlivierBlanchard has warned that the stimulus package of the US-administration may lead toinflation in the US. However, he does not see inflation dangers emanating from stimulusprograms in the Eurozone. The Next Generation EU program is not only considered to be a stimulus program but also tobe a growth program, which by spending on infrastructure and climate-related investmentsis expected to lead to an increase in potential output.Analyze in an AD-AS model the impact of economic growth on actual GDP and the pricelevel. Also elaborate on the role that an additional demand stimulus could play.
