(enter "x" without the quotes if there is not an inflation rate that can produce the target unemployment.) Report your answer as a decimal fraction up to two decimal points.

- A. What assumptions did Thomas Sargent make when he claimed that inflation is always and everywhere a fiscal phenomenon?" B. Why is it appropriate in the book's short-term model for the author to use the Phillips Curve as an Aggregate Supply curve? Does it capture the working of the labor market as well as an AS curve based, say, on sticky wages? C. Provide an example of the book's short-run model being based on "microfoundations."Using the Frieman-Phelps expectations-augmented Phillips curve, if actual and expected inflationare equal to each other, thenA)workers are correctly forecasting inflation and the economy is in long run equilibriumB)the policymaker needs to pursue expansionary policy to create more output.C)in the long run workers will adjust their expectations, resulting in a business cycle in the longrun.D)the economy is in an expansion above the natural rate of output.Assume that inflation falls significantly below expectations. Diagramboth the short-run and long-run effects on employment using a PhillipsCurve diagram. What changes in this model to allow the return to long-runequilibrium?
- . Explain how the original Phillips curve was transformed into the expectations augmented Phillips curve. Using the latter, describe why any expansionary policy would not be effective in the long run and move the macro-economy back to the Natural Rate of Unemployment (NRU).Hi, could you help me solve this problem? Consider an increase in global oil and gas prices from the point of the euro area (that does not produce much oil or gas itself). Think of this shock as a supply shock and use the AD-AS -model to explain how it is likely to affect output (or unemployment) and inflation. How does your result relate to the original Phillips curve? Your answer should include a graph and a short explanation in words.During the early 1990’s, Japan experienced an asset price bubble collapse followed by a massive decrease in economic activity. At that time, Japanese inflation was running at 1.76% a)Assuming that inflation expectations in Japan were equal to the previous period’s inflation rate, show (and explain), using the multiplier model, the labour market model, and the Phillips Curve, how the abovementioned asset price bubble collapse led to drop in economic activity in the short-run and deflationary pressure into the medium run (MR), ceteris paribus b) Explain the concept of the zero lower bound, and show how it can lead to a deflationary spiral. Use the Fisher equation to aid your explanation.
- Q2: Continuing from Question 1: What will be theshape of the Phillips Curve because of the policythat you selected in Step 2 (of Question 1)? Why?Please explain in detail.•You should answer each step in the following the answer 2 table.Let's say that at some time in the past the central bank of a nation raised real interest rates to get inflation under control. Inflation has stayed low now for a couple of years. As people in the economy build this now-lower inflation into their expectations, the economy will move further away from the LR value of output we'll move to the right along the same Phillips Curve the Fed will shift the MP curve further upward the Phillips curve will shift rightwardConsider the expectations adjusted Phillips’s curve and assume that expected inflation is given by πet = πt-1. Suppose that unemployment is initially equal to the natural rate and that π=10%. The central bank decides that inflation is too high and that, starting in year t, it will maintain the unemployment rate 1% point above the natural rate until the inflation rate has decreased to 2%. (a) What is the sacrifice ratio in this economy [Hint: the sacrifice ratio is the percentage of a year’s excess unemployment needed to reduce inflation by 1%. For a Philips curve given as πet − πt −1 = −α (ut − un ), the sacrifice ratio is 1/α]? (b) Compute the rate of inflation for year t, t+1, t+2, t+3, …, t+8. (c) For how many years must the central bank keep the unemployment rate above the natural rate of unemployment? Is the implied sacrifice ratio consistent with your answer to (a)?
- Please mark true or false for the following statements. 1. When there are adaptive expectations, it implies that there is persistence (inertia) in inflation:Suppose the economy is in a long-run equilibrium.a. Draw the economy’s short-run and long-run Phillips curves.b. Suppose a wave of business pessimism reduces aggregate demand. Show the effect of this shock on your diagram from part (a). If the Fed undertakes expansionary monetary policy, can it return the economy to its original inflation rate and original unemployment rate?c. Now suppose the economy is back in long-run equilibrium, and then the price of imported oil rises. Show the effect of this shock with a new diagram like that in part (a). If the Fed undertakes expansionary monetary policy, can it return the economy to its original inflation rate and original unemployment rate? If the Fed undertakes contractionary monetary policy, can it return the economy to its original inflation rate and original unemployment rate? Explain why this situation differs from that in part (b)An economy is currently in a recession. (a) Draw a single correctly labeled graph with both the short-run and long-run Phillips curves. Label the current short-run equilibrium as point X. (b) Is the expected inflation rate greater than, less than, or equal to the actual inflation rate? (c) Will borrowers on fixed-rate loans benefit from the situation that you identified in part (b)? Explain. (d) Assume the government budget is balanced. In the absence of any discretionary policy action, will the government budget move into surplus, deficit, or remain in balance? Explain. (e) On your graph in part (a), show how the economy will adjust in the long run in the absence of any discretionary policy action. (f) Now assume instead the government increases spending without changing taxes to close the recessionary gap. What effect will this policy have on the national debt? (g) Draw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market and show the effect of the change in the national debt…
