- true or false Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored’). In this case, both short-run output and long-run output do not increase in response to a permanently higher inflation target.arrow_forwardDuring the transition from the short run to the long run, price level expectations will (remain the same, increases, decreases), and the (aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply) curve will shift to the (left, right). In the long run, as a result of the investment tax credit, the price level (remain the same, increases, decreases), the quantity of output (rises above, falls below, returns to) potential output, and the unemployment rate (rises above, falls below, returns to) the natural rate of unemployment.arrow_forward1.True or False: Businesses and government care only about long-run economic forecasts, because they cannot adapt policy or output to accommodate short-run fluctuations. 2.Suppose the most recent data show that the average initial weekly claims for unemployment insurance have recently increased. This change suggests a )RECCESSIONARY or EXPANSIONARY) period in the coming months? 3.Economists disagree about how quickly the economy adjusts to an aggregate demand shock. In the view of some economists, people form expectations based on present realities and change expectations gradually as their experience unfolds. Such expectations are said to be rational, unexpected, adaptive, reasonable, or great ? 4. Suppose an unanticipated increase in investment spending causes the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right (from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2). According to adherents of the adaptive-expectations theory, the unanticipated change in aggregate demand will cause the economy to move in which…arrow_forward
- In the figure at right, if we start at AD1 and SRAS1, and the money supply increases unexpectedly, what would be the short-run equilibrium even with rational expectations? A. E1 B. E2 C. E3 D.arrow_forwardThe economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Then one day, the president appoints a new Fed chair. This new chair is well known for her view that inflation is not a major problem for an economy. a. How would this news affect the price level that people expect to prevail? b. How would this change in the expected price level affect the nominal wage that workers and firms agree to in their new labor contracts? c. How would this change in the nominal wage affect the profitability of producing goods and services at any given price level?arrow_forwardSuppose that a rise in consumer spending causes an expansion. 1. On the following graph, shift a curve or adjust the point to reflect the short-run effect of the rise in consumer spending. (Please use the image attached) 2. In the short run, inflation rises? falls? and unemployment rises? falls?. Now suppose that over time, expected inflation changes in the same direction that actual inflation changes. 3. After the expansion is over, the economy faces a worse? better? set of inflation–unemployment combinations.arrow_forward
- Suppose the economy is operating at a point where output is less than the natural level of output. Which of the following statements is correct given this information? Select one: a. Workers will revise upwards price expectations. b. The inflation level will be higher next period than this period. c. The unemployment rate is less than the natural unemployment rate. d. The inflation level is less than the expected inflation level. e. None of the above.arrow_forwardConsider the Efficiency Wage story. Suppose we had several periods of 0 inflation. Then if we had a decrease in Aggregate Demand that caused a decrease in the Aggregate Price level, we would see which of the following in the short run? Select one of the following multiple choice answers and explain why you chose that answer. a. higher inflation and higher unemployment. b. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and higher unemployment. c. higher inflation and lower unemployment. d. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and lower unemployment. e. none of the above.arrow_forwardConsider the Efficiency Wage story.

- Consider an economy that is initially in its long-run equilibrium. Suppose this economy suffers a temporary negative supply shock. If the central bank’s sole objective is to stabilize output in the short-run, then what will happen after the central bank has responded according to its objective? A. Inflation will be lower, output will back at its original level B. Inflation will be lower, output will be lower C. Inflation will be higher, output will be higher D. Inflation will be lower, output will be higher E. Inflation will be higher, output will be lower F. Inflation will be higher, output will back at its original levelarrow_forwardThe Phillips curve represents the relationship between unemployment and inflation. You are required to think about the impact on the economy of movements along the curve. If the unemployment rate in the economy is steady at 4 percent per year, how does the short-run Phillips curve predict that the inflation rate will be changing, if at all? What will happen if the unemployment rate now rises to 7 percent per year? Assume there are no changes to inflation expectations. Provide an appropriate graph to support your discussion.arrow_forwardAssume there is only one good in the economy, corn. The economy has enough labor, capital, and land to produce 2000 bushels of corn. V is constant. In 2020, money supply was $3,600 and the price of corn was $9/bushel. For 2021, the Fed increases MS by 10%. a) Compute the 2021 values of nominal GDP and P. Compute the inflation rate for 2020–2021. b) Suppose technological progress causes Y to increase to 2250 in 2020. Compute the 2020-2021 inflation rate. Please answer the entire questionarrow_forward
