V. Consider an economy with output equal to the natural level of output. Now suppose there is an increase in unemployment benefits. a. Show the effects of an increase in unemployment benefits on the position of the AD and AS curves in the short run and in the medium run. b. How will the increase in unemployment benefits affect output and the price level in the short run and in the medium run?

The short run aggregate supply curve was constructed assuming that as the price of outputs increases, the puce of inputs stays the same. How would an increase in the prices of important inputs, like energy, affect aggregate supply?
Table 24.4 describes Santhers economy. Plot the AD/AS curves and identify the equilibrium. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? Would you expect prices to be a relatively large or small concern for this economy? Imagine that input prices fall and so AS shifts to the right by 150 units. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the shift in AS affect the original output, price level, and employment?
2. Show a AD-AS graph inflation in the short run and the shift in the SAS necessary to eliminate it.
4Consider a baseline long run equilibrium where output is 22 trillion dollars, and the price level is 100. Note: In the Long Run Steady State Equilibrium, Price expectation is the same as price level & unemployment is 5% or lower. None of these are guaranteed in the short run. Usually, short run equilibrium is called an underemployment equilibrium.Starting from the baseline, suppose COVID 19 hits this economy. If this disease only makes workers sick (everything else remaining constant) A Keynesian Macroeconomist proposes the use of a massive expansionary fiscal policy. Step 1) What will be the shape of the Phillips Curve (Upward / Downward/ Vertical/Horizontal). I want you to think about what variable is measured on the horizontal axis of the Phillips Curve Graph and what variable is measured in the Phillips Curve Vertical axis. Then tell us what it means to say that Phillips Curve is upward or downward sloping or vertical or horizontal Step 2) why did this policy create a…
The economic shutdown after the Covid-19, there was a decrease in Aggregate Demand (AD) and a decrease in Aggregate Supply (AS). What was the short-run impact on real GDP? That is, what happened to the short-run equilibrium real GDP (Y)? Based on real GDP, what happened to unemployment? In the long-run equilibrium, what happens to the long-run price level?
Assume this economy is currently producing full-employment real GDP of B at a current price level of E. What would happen in the short run if wages increase?
Two main macroeconomic concerns are the problems of inflation andunemployment.a. What are the social costs of inflation? Explain TWO of them? b. What is natural rate of unemployment? Explain the TWO main causesof natural rate of unemployment. With reference specifically to ONEof these causes, suggest ONE practical government policy that reducesthe natural rate of unemployment.
If the economy goes into a recessionary gap, a.) How will the change in wages affect short run AS and why?b.) As short run AS adjusts, what will happen to price level P and spending for output AD?c.) When will the adjustments in the labor market, wages, and AS stop and why?
Question 1• Consider a baseline short run equilibrium where output is 16 trillion dollars, and the price level is 20. Note: In the Long Run Steady State Equilibrium, Price expectation is the same as price level & unemployment is 5% or lower. None of these are guaranteed in the short run. Usually, short run equilibrium is called an underemployment equilibrium.• Starting from the baseline, suppose COVID 19 hits this economy. Question 1 What happens in the short run to short run equilibrium price level and aggregate quantity & why? (Think about which curve shifts in which direction and why & where is the new short run equilibrium?)
Q3: Consider a baseline long run equilibrium where output is 22 trillion dollars, and the price level is 100. Note: In the Long Run Steady State Equilibrium, Price expectation is the same as price level & unemployment is 5% or lower. None of these are guaranteed in the short run. Usually, short run equilibrium is called an underemployment equilibrium.• Starting from the baseline, suppose COVID 19 hits this economy. If this disease only makes workers sick (everything else remaining constant) can you show how would the short run steady state equilibrium will be disrupted? A Keynesian Macroeconomist proposes the use of a massive expansionary fiscal policy. Would you agree, disagree?• You should answer each step in the following answer 3 table. Q4: Continuing from Question 3: What will be the shape of the Phillips Curve because of the Keynesian Colleague's massive expansionary fiscal policy (from Question 3)? Why? Please explain in detail.•You should answer each step in the following…
