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."

Suppose a given country experienced low and stableinflation rates for quite some time, but then inflation picked up and over the past decade had beenrelatively high and quite unpredictable. Explain howthis new inflationary environment would affect thedemand for money according to portfolio theories ofmoney demand. What would happen if the governmentdecided to issue inflation-protected securities?
On the topic of "Stabilization Policies, Monetary Institutions and Strategies" Suppose that it there is an expected increase in the production productivity. Using AE/PC Model, explain the followings with the aid of graphs. a) What will be the impact on current inflation and on output if the central bank does not involve to the market (do nothing)? b) Assume that initially inflation equals to the central bank’s inflation target and an output gap of zero. When the shock occurs, what are the options that the central bank has to influence to the market?
Suppose the Federal Reserve announced that itWould pursue contractionary monetary policy toReduce the inflation rate. Would the followingConditions make the ensuing recession more or lessSevere? Explain.A. Wage contracts have short durations.B. There is little confidence in the Fed’s determinationTo reduce inflation.C. Expectations of inflation adjust quickly to actualInflation
a. The response of Central Bank to shocks depends on its goal. Suppose Central Bank A cares only about keeping the price level stable and Central Bank B cares only about keeping output and employmentat their natural levels. Explain with the help of graph how each Central Bank would respond to the following. i. An exogenous decrease in the velocity of money. ii. An exogenous increase in the price of oil.
3. Answer all parts of this question.(a) Suppose that the central bank is at its bliss point where inflation is at its target and thereis no output gap. Suppose that the government writes a new law that imposes a higherinflation target for the central bank and this affects anticipated inflation. However, thelaw will not take effect for two years. In the meantime, the central bank pursues itscurrent goals, as specified by its loss function, given the current inflation target.Determine the effect of the news that the law has passed on the central bank’s currentpolicy, and on aggregate output and inflation. Use diagrams to explain your results.(b) Assume a two-period small open economy model where national income is 150 in thecurrent period and 140 in the future period. The world real interest rate is assumed to be4% per period. The representative consumer always wishes to set current consumptionplus government spending equal to future consumption plus governmentspending, (C+G=C′+G′),…

Asap plz Assuming the economy has a strong-form market and that the current economy has reached its long-term equilibrium with optimal inflation rate π = 3 (%) and the aggregate output y = 10 (£bil). The economy has the following AD-AS curves: I. AD Curve: π = 10-0.7y II. AS Curve: π = 1+0.2y III. LRAS Curve: y = 10 Now, the central bank intends to use monetary policy to boost economic growth and suggest the government to increase £1bil in government expense. You are a researcher and now reviewing effect increased expense. a. What is the short-term equilibrium of π and y? b. What is the long-term equilibrium of π and y? c. What is the new AS curve? Do you think central bank’s suggestion on monetary policy effective?
