1. Canada is an open economy that is currently in a recessionary output gap. (a) Draw a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply, short-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand curves, and show each of the following. (i) The current equilibrium real output and price level, labeled as Y, and PL₁, respectively (ii) Full-employment output, labeled Y₁ (b) The central bank and the government do not take any policy actions to close the output gap. (i) Explain how the economy will adjust to full employment in the long run. (ii) On your graph in part (a), show how the economy adjusts to full employment in the long run. (c) Suppose the Canadian government is unwilling to wait for the long-run adjustment process. The margina propensity to consume is 0.8. The equilibrium real output is $500 billion and the full-employment outpu $540 billion. (i) Calculate the minimum change and indicate the direction of change in government spending requi to shift the aggregate demand curve by the amount of the output gap. (ii) Calculate the minimum change and indicate the direction of change in taxes required to shift the aggregate demand curve by the amount of the output gap.

4. Consider the macroeconomic balance sheets of the following economies. As a policy analyst what would be your monetary and fiscal policy advice in both cases? Explain your answer. Country A Country B GDP Growth Rate: 7% GDP Growth Rate: 0.5% Inflation: 9% Inflation: 2.1% VIX Index (Equity Market Volatility Index): 99 VIX Index (Equity Market Volatility Index): 63 Unemployment: 5% Unemployment: 7% Exchange Rate Volatility: High Exchange Rate Volatility: Low Budget Deficit and Government Borrowing as a share of GDP: High Budget Deficit and Government Borrowing as a share of GDP: High Oil Exporter: Yes Oil Exporter: No
9-)Suppose that government decides to support the firms for their investments in research and the development.Assuming this support increases productivity in the economy, use aggregate demand and supply analysis to predict the short-run and long-run effects on inflation and output. Show these effects on a graph and explain the results in detail. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE QUESTION: DESCRIPTION ≠ EXPLANATION; So please DO NOT just write like “this curve shifts right or left etc.” as an explanation (I can see it on the graph), EXPLAIN “WHY” that curve shifts right or left and clearly write “WHAT” are the short-run and the long-run RESULTS of the shift(s) on inflation and output.)

4. Using the aggregate demand and supply model, demonstrate the effect of a $100 billion dollar open market sale. (Use a diagram and explain carefully).
13. The level of aggregate supply, in the long run, is not affected by A) changes in technology. B) changes in the capital stock. C) changes in the price level. D) changes in the number of workers. 14. The long-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right if : A) the economy experiences technological change. B) there is a decrease in population. C) the economy experiences high levels of inflation. D) net exports decrease.
Question 13 (Mandatory) (1 point) Consider the nature of macroeconomic equilibrium. If, at a particular price level, aggregate output demanded is less than that supplied by producers, then O the price level will rise toward its equilibrium value. the aggregate supply curve will shift to the left, re-establishing an equilibrium. the price level will decline toward its equilibrium value. the aggregate demand curve will shift to the right, re-establishing an equilibrium. the aggregate supply curve will shift to the right, re-establishing an equilibrium.
