3)Show and explain the effects of an increase in aggregate demand in the long-run and short-run by using AD–AScurves.2)Show and explain by using a graph, what will happen to the price level and real GDP if the quantity of moneyincreases and the increase is not anticipated; that is, the price level is not expected to change.1)By using aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) curves, show and explain the effects of ananticipated increase in money supply on macroeconomic equilibrium according to Rational ExpectationsHypothesis.
During 2017, some Fed officials discussed the possibility of increasing interest rates as a way of fightingpotential increases in expected inflation. If the publiccame to expect higher inflation rates in the future, whatwould be the effect on the short-run aggregate supplycurve? Use an aggregate demand and supply graph toillustrate your answer.
Assume the Federal Reserve triples the growth rate of the quantity of money in circulation. In the long run, this increase in money growth will affect which of the following? Check all that apply. -The inflation rate -The size of the labor force -The quantity of physical capital -The price level Suppose when unemployment is at its natural rate the economy produces a level of real GDP equal to $70 billion. Using the purple points (diamond symbol) plot the economy's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve on the graph. Suppose now the government passes a law that reduces unemployment benefits in a way that causes unemployed workers to seek out new jobs more quickly. This change in policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to (increase/fall/decrease) , which will: - Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right - Not impact the long-run aggregate supply curve - Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left…
Suppose the Fed doubles the growth rate of the quantity of money in the economy. In the long run, the increase in money growth will change which of the following? Check all that apply. The quantity of physical capital The size of the labor force The level of technological knowledge The inflation rate Suppose the economy produces real GDP of $60 billion when unemployment is at its natural rate. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the economy's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve on the graph. Suppose the government passes a law that significantly increases the minimum wage. The policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to (Rise/fall), which will: Not affect the long-run aggregate supply curve Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left In the following table, determine how each event affects the position of the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve. Direction of LRAS Curve…
The United States is at full employment when the Fed cuts the quantity of money, other things remaining the same. Which explains correctly the sequence of effects and the effect of the cut in money supply on aggregate demand? 1. We start with the money market equilibrium. The money supply curve shifts to the right and the rate of interest rises. This will decrease real investment that we can see from the Investment demand function. The AE curve will move down as investment (Ibar) declines. This will shift the AD to the left. 2. We start with the money market equilibrium. The money supply curve shifts to the left and the rate of interest rises. This will increase real investment that we can see from the Investment demand function. The AE curve will move down as investment (Ibar) declines. This will shift the AD to the left. 3. We start with the money market equilibrium. The money supply curve shifts to the left and the rate of interest rises. This will decrease real…
Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function isC = c0 + c1(Y − T ), where the marginal propensity to consume c1 is equal to 0.75. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = P e, where P e is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal. Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $500. 1. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 2. By how much will consumption C change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 3. By how much will investment I change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?
An economy's aggregate demand curve (the relationship between short-run equilibrium output and inflation) is described by the equation:Y = 15,000 - 12,000π, where π is the inflation rate. Initially, the inflation rate is 2 percent or π = 0.02. Potential output Yp equals 14,640.Note: Keep as much precision as possible during your calculations. Your final answer for inflation should be accurate to at least two decimal places and output should be accurate to the nearest whole number.a) Find inflation and output in short-run equilibrium. Inflation : 0%Output : $0 b) Find inflation and output in long-run equilibrium. Inflation : 0%Output : $0
The economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Then one day, the president appoints a new Fed chair. This new chair is well known for her view that inflation is not a major problem for an economy. a. How would this news affect the price level that people expect to prevail? b. How would this change in the expected price level affect the nominal wage that workers and firms agree to in their new labor contracts? c. How would this change in the nominal wage affect the profitability of producing goods and services at any given price level?
PQ 16 According to the New Classical economists, with rational expectations, aan increase in the money supply will a. lead only to an increase in prices in both the short run and the long run b. lea to an increase in the equilibrium level of income in the short run but to no change in the equilibrium level of income in the long run. c. lead to a fall in prices but no change in money wages d. lead to a rightward shift in the long run aggregate supply curve.
