The dynamic aggregate demand curve is given by: Y‚ = Ỹ − ½ (7₁ − nª ) + ε, The dynamic aggregate supply curve is given by (inflation expectations are backward looking): π₁ = π₁_₁ + 2(Y₁ − Ỹ)+v₁ a) The economy was in equilibrium. The rate of inflation was equal to 10%. The central bank reduces inflation target to 2%. Calculate output loss (fall in output) arising from this disinflation policy during the first year of its implementation. Calculate the rate of inflation during the first year of the disinflation policy implementation. b) Use a graph of the dynamic AD-AS curves to show the short and long-run consequences of a reduction in inflation target described in (a).

Consider an economy with the following schedules of aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves. The current expected inflation rate is 5%. Find the short-run equilibrium real GDP, and inflation rate. Is there a deflationary gap or an inflationary gap or neither? Is the equilibrium inflation rate equal to the expected inflation rate? What is full employment real GDP?
Aggregate demand function is given by Y=7000-20P; the shirt-run aggregate supply function is given by Y=6000+5(P-Pe). The economy was in equilibrium when the government unexpectedly increased its spending which led to a shift of the aggregate demand curve to Y=7500-20P. What's the rate of inflation? Please illustrate the calculations by means of an AS-AD graph.
Assume that the economy is in equilibrium when aggregate demand curves shifts to the right. What happens to the economy in the short-run? the GDP gap becomes positive. Allowed to self-correct, the economy will experience higher inflation. the GDP gap becomes negative. Allowed to self-correct, the economy will experience higher inflation. the GDP gap does not change, but the inflation rate will rise. there is not enough information to answer the question.
As the economy moves to the right in Exhibit 3 along the upward-sloping aggregate supply curve the: Group of answer choices unemployment rate rises. unemployment rate falls. inflation rate falls. none of the answers are correct. PreviousNext
How do new Keynesian ideas about price setting and inflation expectations affect the short-run aggregate supply curve? Explain.
Assume that the central bank has an inflation target and it follows an interest rate rule. The economy is operating at the medium run equilibrium. a) Draw a neat diagram showing the AS-AD curves at the medium-run equilibrium. Carefully label the curves, the axes, and the significant points on the axes (Y, , , Y etc.). b) Explain in words why the AS curve slopes upward, and why the AD curve slopes downwards. Now suppose new digital technologies developments (think of Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc) occur that lead to a permanent decrease in the degree of competition in the economy - that is, an aggregate increase in firms' markup "m" on marginal cost. c) What will be the short run impact of these developments on the economy? Use an AS-AD diagram to explain your answer. (d) What will be the effect of these developments on the labour market in the medium run? Use a wage-setting and price-setting (WS-PS) diagram to explain what will happen to the natural rate of unemployment and…
Suppose the economy is at its long- run equilibrium when there is a sudden increase in wealth. Using IS-MP, AD-IA answer compare the following variables to their initial long-run equilibrium.

Explain the role of expectations in a dynamic aggregate demand - dynamic aggregate supply (DAD-DAS) model
Suppose that government decides to support the firms for their investments in research and the development.Assuming this support increases roductivity in the economy, use aggregate demand and supply analysis to predict the short-run and long-run effects on inflation and output. Show these effects on a graph and explain the results in detail.
Assuming aggregate demand remains constant, supply shocks that cause a leftward shift in the aggregate supply curve will------. Select one: a. decrease prices b. increase real output c. decrease the rate of unemployment d. increase both prices and the rate of unemployment
