Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1."
Then, suppose that, due to increased instability in the financial markets, a decrease in investor and consumer confidence occurs. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2."
Lastly, suppose the Federal Reserve wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the Fed intervene? If so, show the impact of successful monetary policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
Within the Keynesian model with both a flexible price and flexible money wage, illustrate graphically and explain the effect of a decline in expectations. Include in your answer the effects of this policy shift on real output, the price level, employment, the money wage, and the interest rate. Explain what this question has to do with the typical Keynesian view of what causes recessions.
Suppose Bangladesh Bank (BB) decided to follow the Taylor rule to conduct monetary policy. BB's target interest rate is the lending rate. The economists in BB understands that there will be some time lag for their policy to be effective and therefore they use a forecasted or expected inflation rate (instead of current inflation rate) in their policy rule. BB is equally concerned about output and inflation. According to BB's estimate the equilibrium real lending rate is 5 percent. BB's inflation target is 3 percent and the deviation of actual output from the potential output (as measured by the HP filter) is 1 percent.a. If the expected inflation rate is 6%, then at what target should the lending rate be set according to the Taylor rule?

- A severe negative supply shock occurs when there is a significant reduction in the supply of key inputs, such as labor, raw materials, or energy. This can lead to a reduction in output, higher prices, and potentially stagflation (i.e., high inflation and low economic growth). To tackle the effects of a severe negative supply shock, governments and central banks may use various macroeconomic policies. Supply-side policies: Supply-side policies refer to measures aimed at increasing the productive capacity of the economy. In the case of a severe negative supply shock, the government may implement supply-side policies such as tax incentives or subsidies to encourage firms to invest in new technology or production methods. However, these policies may take time to have an impact and may not be sufficient to offset the immediate effects of the supply shock. explain this graphically please.arrow_forwardcan you elaborate?arrow_forwardRefer to the graphs, in which the numbers in parentheses near the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the level of investment spending associated with each curve. All figures are in billions. The economy is at point Y on the investment demand curve. Given these conditions, what policy should the Fed pursue to achieve a noninflationary, full-employment level of real GDP? A) increase aggregate demand from AD3 to AD2. B) decrease the money supply from $225 to $150 billion. C) increase interest rates from 4 to 8 percent. D) make no change in monetary policy.arrow_forward
- Expected inflation is 1.5%. The economy is initially in macroeconomic equilibrium with a real interest rate of 3% and an output gap of 0%. That is, the economy is operating at its potential. Using the Fed model linking the IS-MP framework with the Phillips curve, draw a graph showing the effect of the following shock: A severe recession impacts most of Western Europe, where several of the US most important trade partners are located. Your graph should clearly indicate the conditions both before and after the shock.arrow_forwardA Keynesian economy is described by the following equations. Consumption Cd = 250 + 0.5(Y - T) - 250r Investment Id = 250 - 250r Government purchases G = 300 Government taxes T = 300 Real money demand L = 0.5Y - 500r + πe Money supply M = 3000 Full-employment output Y = 1250 Expected inflation πe = 0 (HINT a: The expected rate of inflation is assumed to equal zero so that money demand depends directly on the real interest rate, which equals the nominal interest rate. Domestic Savings, Sd =Y - C - G. In equilibrium set domestic savings equal to domestic investment, so Sd = Id) Calculate the values of the real interest rate (r), consumption (Cd), and investment (Id) for the economy in general equilibrium.arrow_forwardTime remaining: 00 :09 :06 Economics If there is an inflationary gap, what should the Fed do?

A consumption boom.

What monetary policy action would you take in this case and why? For each case, use the IS-MP diagram and the Phillips curve to show what happens to the economy. Also, provide graphs of the real interest rate, output and inflation over time: r vs t, Ỹ vs t, πt vs t; assume the consumption shock happens at t=5.¹arrow_forward
- Suppose the government decides to decrease government expenditures as a means of cutting the existing government budget deficit. Using a graph of aggregate demand and supply, show the effects of such a decision on the economy in the short run. Describe the effects on inflation and output. What will be the effect on the real interest rate, the inflation rate, and the output level if the Bank of Canada decides to stabilize the inflation rate?arrow_forwardA friend of yours (who has not taken macroeconomics) has just read that Keynesian theory represented a direct attack on Classical theory. They don't understand either theory and knows you (having just taken macroeconomics) are well-versed in both. They ask you to explain the basic differences between how Keynes and the Classics understood the business cycle and their respective policy prescriptions. Your answer should probably include: a) a basic explanation of what full-employment GDP means and how it relates to the stability condition S=| (or, equivalently, leakages = injections); b) an explanation of why the Classicals believed that any movement away from full-employment GDP would be quickly fixed/reversed; c) an explanation of why Keynes thought the Classicals* "auto-correcting" story was problematic, i.e., a detailed explanation of Keynes' multiplier concept (how did Keynes believe a recession would unfold (step-by-step) and why did he believe it could persist); d) an explanation…arrow_forwardShow using a graph how the following shocks would affect equilibrium output.
