Describe an economic environment which would be characterized by the term "stagflation". Using an AD - AS diagram, depict and given an example of a macroeconomic shock that would take an economy from a long - run equilibrium to a situation of stagflation. Label all points on the graph completely and point out the key characteristics associated with stagflation on your graph.
Using the 3-equation model provide a detailed period by period description of theadjustment process for the following scenarios:(a) The economy is hit by a temporary inflationary shock (b) The economy is hit by a permanent positive aggregate demand shock
The Canadian economy suffered two major shocks in 2008, leading to the severe recession of 2008–2009. One shock was related to oil prices; the other was the slump in both consumer and business confidence. This question analyzes the effect of these two shocks on GDP using the AD–AS model.
Draw typical aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves. Label the horizontal axis “Real GDP” and the vertical axis “Aggregate price level.” Label the equilibrium point E1, the equilibrium quantity Y1, and equilibrium price P1.
Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram from part (a) to illustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve.
The New Housing Price Index, published by Statistics Canada, calculates that Canada’s home prices fell by an average of 3% in the 12 months between April 2008 and April 2009. Business fixed capital formation fell by 19% during the same period. Would the fall in home prices and business…

- Coronavirus pandemic and resultant shutdown measures to contain it have plunged the economies around the world including Singapore into severe contraction. Assuming Singaporean economy was in long run equilibrium in the aggregate demand and supply (AD-AS) model before the pandemic (and consequent shutdown) started, answer the questions below: Now assume that the contraction in the Singaporean economy is mainly driven by supply side factors, Show the short-run effects of this using the AD-AS model.arrow_forwardUse the IS-LM model to describe the short-run effects of a decrease in government expenditure on the equilbrium output and real interest rate. Assuming the economy is in a long-run equilibrium before the shock, also explain how the price level changes over time, and what happens to the economy in the long run.

- true/false, explain In the dynamic AS-AD model, a perfectly inelastic aggregate supply curve means the central bank cannot control the rate of output growth or the inflation rate.arrow_forwardThe mainstream view of macroeconomic instability emphasizes sticky prices. To answer the following questions, modify the aggregate supply curve in the extended AD-AS model introduced in Chapter 35. First, imagine that both input and output prices are fifixed. What does the aggregate supply curve look like? If AD decreases in this situation, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? Next, imagine that input prices are fifixed, but output prices are flexible. What does the aggregate supply curve look like? In this case, if AD decreases, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? Finally, if both input and output prices are fully flflexible, what does the aggregate supply curve look like? In this case, if AD decreases, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? (Hint: If you are having trouble drawing these three aggregate supply curves, review the immediate-short-run aggregate supply curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve…arrow_forwardTrue/False with explanation In the dynamic AS-AD model, a perfectly inelastic aggregate supply curve means the central bank cannot control the rate of output growth or the inflation rate.arrow_forward
- For each of the following scenarios, assume the economy experiences an exogenous decrease in investment demand. For each case, illustrate the IS-LM-FX diagram and state the effect of the shock (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous) on the following variables: Y, i, E, C, I, TB. Here, we assume the policy makers’ objective is to keep output fixed at its initial valuearrow_forwardConsider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy. Write down the expressions for the AS and AD curves and interpret the expressions: what is the intuition behind the two curves? What must be true of the model parameters and variables in the long-run equilibrium, i.e. in the steady state? Analyse the effects of an oil supply shock that causes a temporary increase in inflation, using the three-equation model. Assume that the shock lasts for one-period and then assumes the value 2%. Describe the mechanisms that bring the economy back to long-run equilibrium. What happens to aggregate demand? Consider an economy that starts out in steady state when the central bank decides to make the inflation target more ambitious. Analyse the effects of a decrease in the inflation target from ? to .
