Relating DSGE and AS/AD for a shock to government purchases: Consider thecomplete dynamic response of the economy to a temporary rise in governmentpurchases in the AS/AD framework.(a) Draw the AS/AD graph associated with this shock.
Assume that an economy is initially operating at the natural rate of output (full employment output). Use the AD-AS model to illustrate graphically the effects on price and output of a increase in government spending and an increase in the cash rate. Explain your assumptions with respect to the range of aggregate supply of your analysis. With diagrams

- question 3 Consider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy discussed in the course. (a). 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? (b). 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? (c). 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 7 to n". Explain the mechanisms behind the adjustment to the new steady state.arrow_forwardImagine that in the year 2035, Japan’s economy shrinks significantly, causing a decrease in investment in the U.S. economy. Use the ADAS model to explain the likely short run impacts on U.S. GDP and the aggregate price level. What do you anticipate to happen to U.S. consumption expenditures and U.S. employment?

Assume that equilibrium has been achieved. Suddenly there is an external shock and as a result investment goes down to 1. What is the change in GDP? Use the base model to answer this question.

- QUESTION 5 Consider the aggregate supply-aggregate demand (AD-AS) model that we saw in class. Assume that prices are fixed in the short run and are fully flexible in the long run. The initial full-employment level of output is Y=900 and the initial price level is P=100: The aggregate demand curve is given by y= 1500 - 6P: Scenario 3, long run: A major pandemic results in job losses, greater precautionary saving, and shutdowns and social-distancing policies. As a result, the full- employment level of output drops to y =830 and the demand curve shifts to y =1445-6p. In the long run, the output is and the price level is Note: Type in your answer rounded to two decimal places, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999".
