Suppose the economy of a hypothetical country has reached its long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs.
The economy of a hypothetical country has been stable for two or three years with very low unemployment. Wages have been gradually increasing during this time. Now stock market prices begin significant increases, causing peoples’ investments, such as their retirement accounts and other investments, to increase in value. People feel very good about the future and use their new-found wealth to buy things that they had been hesitant to purchase in the past. Describe, in a short essay inserted below these questions, how the economic situation will change and how the government could best respond to these changes. Include detailed answers to the following questions in your essay:
What kind of economic gap will start to occur (inflationary or recessionary)?
What kind of fiscal policy might be helpful to stabilize the economy…
At the macroeconomic equilibrium, the economy has _______ gap, so to return to full employment _________.
A.
an inflationary; the money wage rate rises and aggregate supply increases
B.
a recessionary; the money wage rate falls and aggregate supply increases
C.
an inflationary; the money wage rate rises and aggregate supply decreases
D.
a recessionary; the money wage rate rises and aggregate supply decreases
