Read the following excerpt. Identify whether the policy action is fiscal or monetary and expansionary or contractionary. Draw and label the change that would occur on the AD/AS graph as a result of the policy action described. Identify what will happen as a result of the policy to the price level, employment, and real GDP. Excerpt from FOMC Statement Released December 16, 2008 “The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to establish a target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to ¼ percent. Since the Committee’s last meeting labor market conditions have deteriorated, and the available data indicate that consumer spending, business investment, and industrial production have declined. Financial markets remain quite strained and credit conditions tight. Overall, the outlook for economic activity has weakened further.” Identify whether the policy action is fiscal or monetary.

Assume that as a result of the coronavirus and U.S. (Federal) Government policies to ameliorate or lessen the virus’ public health impact, the U.S. unemployment increases from 3.6% to 13.7% by May, 2020. As part of monetary and fiscal policies, however, beginning in the summer of 2020 the Fed purchases over $3.5 Trillion in U.S. government bonds and Federal Government transfers $5,000 to every U.S. adult over 18 years old (not in college…. sorry) financed by government debt. Then, as a part of its overall public health policies, the U.S. government begins to relax or loosen its previous travel and “shutter in” policies in the Spring 2021 so that people can now go to restaurants, movies or sporting events and the like more freely. Absent increases in the United States long run aggregate supply, the combined economic effects of such policies would most likely be:

Suppose the economy of Macroland is described by the following:C = 200 + 0.8 DI (DI = disposable income)I = 300 + 0.2Y − 50r (Y = GDP)(r, the interest rate, is measured in percentage points. For example, a 9 percent interest rate is r = 9).For this economy, assume that the Federal Reserve uses its monetary policy to peg the interest rate atr = 5G = 750T = 0.25YX = 200M = 150 + 0.2YHint: DI = Y − T From Table 36-1, find the trade deficit or surplus. a. 75 surplus b. 475 surplus c. 475 deficit d. 75 deficit
Expansionary monetary policy and contractionary fiscal policy has a combined effect which is ________.a. a decrease in interest rate and decrease in tax ratesb. an increase in interest rate and increase in tax ratesc. an increase government spending and decrease in money supplyd. an increase in tax rates and decrease in interest rates
Given the equations of an economy: C= 10 + 0.75 Yd where C stands for consumption and Yd stands for disposable income T=0.2 Y where T stands for Tax and Y for income G=230, where G stands for Government expenditure I=280-6i where I stands for Investment and i for interest L=0.4Y-4i, where L stands for the demand for real balances M=800, where M stands for nominal money supply P=2, where P stands for the price level Calculate the budget surplus and If government spending were to increase by 10, what would be the change in the rate of interest, the level of investment and the level of income?
If the U.S. government's budget deficits are increasing aggregate demand, and the economy is producing at a level that is substantially less than potential GDP, then: a) government borrowing is likely to crowd out private investment. b) an inflationary increase in the price level is in real danger. c) the central bank might react with an expansionary monetary policy. d) higher interest rates will crowd out private investment.
