An economy's aggregate demand curve (the relationship between short-run equilibrium output and inflation) is described by the equation:Y = 15,000 - 12,000π, where π is the inflation rate. Initially, the inflation rate is 2 percent or π = 0.02. Potential output Yp equals 14,640.Note: Keep as much precision as possible during your calculations. Your final answer for inflation should be accurate to at least two decimal places and output should be accurate to the nearest whole number.a) Find inflation and output in short-run equilibrium. Inflation : 0%Output : $0 b) Find inflation and output in long-run equilibrium. Inflation : 0%Output : $0
Suppose the public believes that a newly announcedanti-inflation program will work and so lowers itsexpectations of future inflation. What will happen toaggregate output and the inflation rate in the short run?
Please no written by hand solution Suppose you are given the following scenario: The Federal Reserve has reported the federal funds rate at 2.75 percent. The economy’s growth rate over the past several quarters has languished around 1 percent (annualized) per year while unemployment has increased by 1.5 percentage points to a current national average of 8.7 percent. The GDP deflator index has remained relatively steady, yielding an average inflation rate of 1.8 percent over the last two years. What would you recommend as a Keynesian policy advisor? In the first part of your answer, identify the economic problem(s) best described in the scenario above. Secondly, determine the appropriate economic policy (fiscal or monetary) that would be most effective in responding to the economic problem(s) identified in part one. Lastly, explain the consequences your recommended policy would have on the macroeconomy in both the short run and the long run. Your answer should be at leas a couple of…
Consider an economy that is initially in its long-run equilibrium. Suppose this economy suffers a temporary negative supply shock. If the central bank’s sole objective is to stabilize output in the short-run, then what will happen after the central bank has responded according to its objective? A. Inflation will be lower, output will back at its original level B. Inflation will be lower, output will be lower C. Inflation will be higher, output will be higher D. Inflation will be lower, output will be higher E. Inflation will be higher, output will be lower F. Inflation will be higher, output will back at its original level
In an OLG model with money: Each gen picks 12 banans when young, 0 bananas when old. Central bank prints out 2 units of money, given to gen 0 for free. The unemployment rate of this economy is ____% each period.
Multiple Choice Question In general, an increase in the money supply causes: deflation. an increase in aggregate demand. O no verifiable change in economic variables. O inflation.
Suppose that a rise in consumer spending causes an expansion. 1. On the following graph, shift a curve or adjust the point to reflect the short-run effect of the rise in consumer spending. (Please use the image attached) 2. In the short run, inflation rises? falls? and unemployment rises? falls?. Now suppose that over time, expected inflation changes in the same direction that actual inflation changes. 3. After the expansion is over, the economy faces a worse? better? set of inflation–unemployment combinations.
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…
Consider the Efficiency Wage story. Suppose we had several periods of 0 inflation. Then if we had a decrease in Aggregate Demand that caused a decrease in the Aggregate Price level, we would see which of the following in the short run? Select one of the following multiple choice answers and explain why you chose that answer. a. higher inflation and higher unemployment. b. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and higher unemployment. c. higher inflation and lower unemployment. d. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and lower unemployment. e. none of the above.
true or false Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored’). In this case, both short-run output and long-run output do not increase in response to a permanently higher inflation target.
Consider the Efficiency Wage story. Suppose we had several periods of 0 inflation. Then if we had a decrease in Aggregate Demand that caused a decrease in the Aggregate Price level, we should see which of the following in the short run? Explain your answer. a. inflation and higher employment b. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and higher employment c. inflation and lower employment d. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and lower employment e. none of the above
In the AD/AS model, a short-run inflationary boom can occur which returns to full employment in the long run because Select one: a. the inflation reduces profitability and output in the short run, but costs eventually fall and output is restored in the long run. b. the boom pushes up prices and salaries in the short run, reducing output, but companies attempt to restore profitability in the long run by pushing prices and salaries back down, which brings output back to full employment. c. aggregate supply is reduced in the short run, along with profit and output, but aggregate demand increases in the long run, along with profit and output, to bring the economy back to full employment. d. it takes a while for costs to catch up to inflation, so inflation boosts revenue, profit, and output in the short run, but the later-rising costs return profit and output to normal in the long run.
