Define equilibrium and steady state. Can we find a steady state for each dynamic general
equilibrium model? Why or why not?
Starting from long-run equilibrium, graphically illustrate and explain what happens to RGDP, the average price level, and unemployment if consumer confidence decreases.
Suppose that the government believes the economy is not producing goods and services at its optimal level. In an attempt to stimulate the economy, the government increases the quantity of money in the economy by printing more money.
This monetary policy the economy's demand for goods and services, leading to product prices. In the short run, the change in prices induces firms to produce goods and services. This, in turn, leads to a level of unemployment.
In other words, the economy faces a trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Higher inflation leads to unemployment.

- Suppose England's economy is in long-run equilibrium. As a result of the coronavirus, the British government orders all non-essential businesses to close and issue “shutter in” and other “stay at home” directives requiring its citizens and residents not to leave their residences absent emergencies and/or to purchase food and groceries from markets (that is, people cannot, for example, go to restaurants, movies or sporting events and the like.)
