Due to high government spending and low interest rate in the period 2020-2022 to deal with Covid-19, the U.S. economy is now facing a high inflation situation. Many economists thought that we should cut government spending and raise interest rate to reduce national debt and inflation. Other economists thought that even though inflation is high, the government should raise spending to help the poor. Why do these economists disagree?
There is currently a political and academic controversy whether or not stimulus packagesagainst the Covid-induced economic recession will cause inflation. Professor OlivierBlanchard has warned that the stimulus package of the US-administration may lead toinflation in the US. However, he does not see inflation dangers emanating from stimulusprograms in the Eurozone. The Next Generation EU program is not only considered to be a stimulus program but also tobe a growth program, which by spending on infrastructure and climate-related investmentsis expected to lead to an increase in potential output.Analyze in an AD-AS model the impact of economic growth on actual GDP and the pricelevel. Also elaborate on the role that an additional demand stimulus could play.
I just need assitance and a better understanding of 3 and mostly 4 1. Another economy has the production Y = A * K^0.5 * L^0.5, the marginal product MPL = 0.5 * A * K^0.5 / L^0.5, in which K = 144 and the supply of labor w = 5 * EP/P *L^0.5 Productivity is A=50. In absence of shocks and policies, EP/P=1, the number of jobs is L = 60, and wage is w = 38.73. But now inflation is slower than expected, with EP/P=1.2. Find the new equilibrium number of workers. 2. Find the new equilibrium wage at EP/P=1.2 3. Graph the change in the labor market equilibrium. Mark the before and after equilibria with E0 and E1.
