Suppose that in Country B, financial institutions use new technology to prevent credit card fraud. Assume that this action reduces the risk of using credit cards and makes consumers less likely to use cash for consumption. At the same time, the government in the country cuts spending to reduce budget deficits. Use the IS- LM model to predict the short-run impact on the interest rate and output. Illustrate your answer graphically. Be sure to label: į, the axes, ii. the curves iii the initial equilibrium, iv. the direction the curves shift. Explain your answer in words.

Consider an IS-LM model. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply by 5 percent. But the price level also increases increase by 10 percent. Part 1What will be the change in LM curve? What will be the change in equilibrium interest rate and output? Explain properly using a graph?Part 2What will be the change in the AD curve? (Hint: first derive the AD curve from IS-LM model and then consider whether AD will shift to the left or right given the change in LM curve) Given that the SRAS curve is horizontal, what will be the impact of change in AD on price level?
a. Suppose that, ceteris paribus, the government raises taxes.Diagram the effects of such a change in the IS-LM model. Whathappens to “the” interest rate?b. Now show both the short-run and long-run effects of this changein the IS-LM model in the AS-AD model. What happens to the pricelevel and output in the short and long runs?
Explain if, and why, you agree, or do not agree, with the following statement [when answering, assume that, in each time period, the economy is described by a static IS-LM model, with consumption and investment depending on contemporaneous variables only]:"In a closed economy wherke the central bank chooses the money supply, the prices of stocks at time t, €Qt, will unambiguously rise if, from time t onwards, government purchases of goods and services, G, go up".
What happens is the IS-MP model if most people are sent $1400 like in the Biden Rescue Plan? (Notice the answer choices all avoid saying “output gap increases/decreases” because that is confusing in real life. If the output gap goes from -4 billion to -5 billion did the gap increase or decrease? The textbook’s proposed solution is to say “more positive” or “more negative.”) output gap more positive, interest rate rises output gap more positive, interest rate does not change output gap more negative, interest rate rises output gap more negative, interest rate does not change
Consider the following IS-LM model: C = 200 + 0.25 YD ; I = 150 + 0.25Y – 1000i ; G = 250 ;T = 200 ; (M/P)d = 2Y – 8000i ; M/P = 1600Derive the (a) IS-relation and the (b) LM-relation.Solve for the equilibrium (c) real output and (d) interest rate.(e) Solve for the equilibrium values of C and I and verify yourequilibrium output by: Y = C + I + G(f) Now suppose that the money supply increases to M/P = 1840. Solve for Y, i, C, I and describe in words the effectsof monetary expansion.(g) Set M/P to its initial value 1600. Suppose, that governmentspending increases to G=400. Summarize the effects offiscal expansion on Y, i, and C.

Suppose the economy is initially in its long-run equilibrium. Due to the biased (overestimated) expectation of return, the entrepreneurs overwhelmingly become much more aggressive in investment holding other things equal. a. Use the IS-LM model and AD-AS model to graphically illustrate the impact of the biased expectation in the short run and in the long run. What are the changes in the equilibrium real interest rate, output, and prices? b. If the central bank wants to offset the impact of the biased expectation, what is the appropriate measure? Draw a graph as in part a. for illustration. What are the changes in the equilibrium real interest rate, output, and prices in this case?
I have to analyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomiceffects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth. Specifically, I have to suppose that households (consumers) lose confidence and start saving more for any level of disposable income. Can you plase answer the following question (using graphs too): In terms of total savings and, therefore, of potential long-term growth, is a flat LM curve or a positive sloping LM curve better?

Discuss in detail the limitations of the IS-LM Model. Why is it unrealistic for today’seconomies?
Respond the following statements by explaining whythey are true or false. For each statement, a complete and correct explanation 1. Business cycles are the periodic peaks and troughs of the financial industry and real estate (FIRE)sector of the economy. 2. Consumption of nondurables is more volatile than GDP, that is, it has a higher standard deviation, becausepeople like to take risks, so their consumption in nondurables varies more than their income month-tomonth. 3. Investment is countercyclical because, when GDP increases, consumption increases andinvestment falls. 4. Unemployment is countercyclical because the unemployment rate is negatively correlated withGDP.
Suppose that in Macroland the consumption and the investment have a negative relationship withthe real interest rate and positive relationship with Y. The Central Bank of the country targets acertain nominal interest rate and lets the money supply adjust in order to reach that interest rate.a. Draw a graph of the IS-LM model in this situation.b. Suppose that the Central Bank announces an increase of the interest rate in the future.Represent graphically the initial position of IS-LM curves. Then, show the IS-LM curves of thefuture, after the announced increase in the interest rate is implemented. (Assume that the ISis constant.).c. Suppose that agents today take into consideration the resulting income of the future whendeciding the amount of consumption and investment. Show what happens to the IS-LMcurves today after the announcement of the CB (tip: the CB is NOT increasing the nominalinterest rate today).d. The government decides to step in and avoid any deviation of Y from the initial…
