Japan has had been in recession for decades despite having zero interest rates. Using the AD/SRAS/LRAS model, explain why they have been pursuing expansionary fiscal policies during the pandemic.
An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs. What kind of gap - inflationary or recessionary - will the economy face after the shock, and what type of fiscal policies would help move the economy back to potential output? How would your recommended fiscal policy shift the aggregate demandcurve? (Note: you do not need to draw anything).(a) A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households.(b) Firms come to believe that a recession in the near future is likely.(c) Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment.(d) The quantity of money in the economy declines and interest rates increase.
Based on the below information, help Renwick economy find the equilibrium level of output. Aggregate Demand Aggregate Supply Equilibrium YAD = C + I + G YAS = A Kα L1-α YR =0.5YAD+ 0.5YAS C = 600 + βYD A = (1 + g) Ao YD = YR + TR - tYR K = 35 TR = 55 L = 80 G = 120 g = 6% I = 50 Ao = 150 t = 0.15 α = 0.65 Where C is private consumption, YD is disposable income; TR, G and I are transfer payments, government spending and total investment, respectively. A in the index of technology and K and L are capital and labour inputs. A0 is the initial levels of A and L, both assumed to be 150, while g is the growth rates. The MPC is 0.60. a.)

Course: Macroeconomic - IS-LM Model Prove mathematically the following: Given an increase in the proportional tax on income(t), what happens to the level of output and to the tax?" . Hint: for demostration, use the IS general function for a closed economy Y = C + I + G, where C = a + c*YD and YD = Y + TR - Y*t (where t = proportional income tax) and realize changes i.e., from "t1" to "t2"
in a closed economy with no government, where aggregate demand is determinedby autonomous consumption, investment (which is independent of output), and themarginal propensity to consume.a) Given that autonomous consumption is 20, investment is also 20, and the marginalpropensity to consume is 0.6, write out an equation for aggregate demand (AD) in thiseconomy. b) Given this aggregate demand equation, and the equilibrium equation Y = AD, usealgebra to find the equilibrium level of Y. c) Draw a diagram with output (Y) on the x-axis and aggregate demand (AD) on the yaxis. Draw two lines on this diagram: (i) Y = AD, and (ii) the aggregate demandfunction from part (a). Label the intercept of the AD line, and the point where the twolines intersect, with numerical values.

The graph below depicts an economy where a decline in aggregate demand has caused a recession. Assume the government decides to conduct fiscal policy by changing taxes to reduce the burden of this recession. Fiscal Policy Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. If you are entering a negatlve number Include a minus sign. a. How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrilum? $, billion b. If the MPC is 0.6 , how much do taxes need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? $, billion Suppose Instead that the MPC is 0.8 . c. How much does aggregate demand and taxes need to change to restore the economy to Its long-run equilibrlum? Aggregate demand needs to change by $ billion and taxes need to change by $ billion.
Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2250. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3050 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?
please explain this question in words. Assume that fiscal policy can be accomplished by changing only one of G and T. In the IS-LM framework, suppose the effect on the general equilibrium output is the same between expansionary fiscal policy and expansionary monetary policy. Which one would you expect to have a greater impact on the equilibrium consumption?

Assuming that there is no government spending or trade, an economy’s GDP is the sum of domestic consumption C and investment I, i.e. Y = C+ I Assume that I is unaffected by GDP Assume the consumption function is C = c0 + c1Y In any equilibrium aggregate demand, AD must be equal to Y, GDP. Given this model, which of the following statements is correct? choose 5 Select one or more: a. In a demand-driven economy demand is equal to supply in equilibrium b. In a demand-driven economy, supply creates its own demand c. The aggregate demand equation is given by AD = c0 + c1Y + I d. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the equilibrium solution for Y is given by Y = (c0 + I)/(1-c1 ) e. In a demand-driven economy the AD curve is a vertical line f. In a supply-driven economy demand is equal to supply in equilibrium g. if c1 is a number between 0 and 1, and I+c0 >0 then the aggregate demand equation is a straight line that must intersect the…
