Suppose an economy experiences a period of high growth and low unemployment. Eventually output returns to its previous level, and but there is a sustained increase in the price level. in 3-5 sentences, using the AS/AD model, describe what type of shock must have occurred and what happened to the economy. Be sure to include which curve(s) must have shifted initially and which direction. Then describe what must have occured to reach the long-run outcome - in other words, which curve(s) adjusted and what happened to output, unemployment, and the price level.

Assume that two shocks happen simultaneously: a positive expenditure shock (let’s say a popular trend is to go for a bigger house) and a positive supply shock (let’s say prices on imported inputs decreased dramatically due to a substantial reduction in tariffs). Use AE/PC Model (carefully labeled!!) without time lags (use the AE and PC graphs similarly to the textbook, place PC graph below AE graph). For your analysis, choose as a starting point (marked A) an economy operating at potential GDP (Y=Y*) and at its inflation target (? = ?#). Also, show point B where the economy is situated after the shocks but prior to any central bank policy response. There should be A and B on BOTH the upper (AE graph) and lower (PC graph) graphs. If points A and B are the same point, then just mark that point with both A and B. Mark initial curves with the superscript 1, like AE1 and PC1, and every subsequent shift with a higher number, like the second shift would be AE2 and PC2, and the third shift (if…
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?
Comparing ModelsWhat are the differences between our Keynesian Cross and the Macro Equilibrium (AS and AD) diagram? Which model has more to offer?
Use the extended IS-LM model graph to show where the US economy is functioning now given that the current u is 7.9% and the full-employment (FE) u (aka un) is 4%. [Hint: if u > u FE then Y< Y FE.] Indicate the gap and provide its name. Let’s assume that a “second covid-19 wave” in December 2020 leads to more lockdowns, so that many more businesses struggle to survive and face an increase in their probability of bankruptcy. What is this “shock” and what would it do, cet. par., to your graph of part a.? Explain any shift(s). Let’s assume the Federal Reserve fixes the gap in your graph of part b. Provide appropriate name(s) and policy tools and show what will happen in your graph of part b. What role, if any, does the “zero lower bound” play?
The Treasury notes that there are several ‘risks’ to its predictions. These include that “ The potential for an extended conflict in the Ukraine ... has increased the risk of supply disruptions, pushing up and increasing volatility in energy, agricultural and metals prices..... A prolonged conflict will increase the risks associated with the negative terms of trade and confidence shocks for these countries” Using the dynamic AD/AS model, illustrate and explain how an extended conflict in the Ukraine would impact on the Australian economy. Be sure to discuss the pathways by which this conflict may impact on the domestic Australian economy. Hint: Start from diagram representing the current position of the economy and then illustrate what happens, consistent with your argument, showing both short run and long run effects. The majority of the marks for this question depend on what you write.
In the basic New Keynesian model, suppose that there is an increase in government spending. • First, suppose that the central bank does nothing (accommodates the shock). Illustrate onthe graphs and explain what will be the effects on inflation and output? • Second, suppose that economy initially has inflation equal to the central bank’s inflationtarget and an output gap of zero. What action do you expect the central bank wouldundertake? Illustrate you answer on the graph and explain. PLEASE SHOW ALL HAND WRITTEN STEPS AND WORK!
Consider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy. Write down the expressions for the AS and AD curves and interpret the expressions: what is the intuition behind the two curves? What must be true of the model parameters and variables in the long-run equilibrium, i.e. in the steady state? Analyse the effects of an oil supply shock that causes a temporary increase in inflation, using the three-equation model. Assume that the shock lasts for one-period and then assumes the value 2%. Describe the mechanisms that bring the economy back to long-run equilibrium. What happens to aggregate demand? 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.
Assess the view that when an economy experiences a negative economic shock there willalways be a sustained increase in unemployment.
What role does the IS curve play in our short-run model? What kind of eco-nomic questions does it allow us to analyze?

Hi, could you help me solve this problem? It is often argued that the effect of a demand shock depends on the state of the economy. In particular, a given increase in aggregate demand may induce a larger increase in inflation (or price level) if the output gap is initially positive (output exceeds natural output) than if the output gap is initially negative. The argument is that when economy’s overall production capacity is almost fully used, firms cannot expand output much in response to an increase in demand.t Draw AD and AS curves that are consistent with these ideas and explain them briefly.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is causing energy prices to soar in the euro area (at an annual rate of 39% according to the Economist, June 2022). (1.a) What kind of economic shock is this for the euro area (AD or AS; positive or negative)? Use the AD/AS model to predict the effects of this shock on euro area output, prices, employment, and unemployment. Does it matter whether the shock is permanent or temporary? How must fiscal policy respond if the government’s target is price stability? How will this policy change your answer about prices, employment, and unemployment? Include the AD/AS grap
