Consider a closed economy where the goods and money markets are described by the following relationships: C = 200 + 0.9(Y – T) 1 = 400 – 15r M = 200 + Y – 100r G = 150 T = 100 M = 2000 P = 2 Where Cis planned consumption, / is planned investment spending, Tis government tax revenues, G is government purchases, M is the money supply, P is the price level and r is the interest rate. Department of Economics a) Derive the two expressions for the IS and LM equilibrium relationships respectively. Sketch a graph of the two relationships. b) Calculate the equilibrium value of output Y and interest rate r (round off your answers to one decimal point). Compute also the level of consumption and investment spending in equilibrium and check whether the actual level of spending matches the equilibrium level of output.
Dynamic aggregate demand (AD) can be derived using the quantity theory of money. Label the equation so that it accurately expresses the quantity theory of money in dynamic form growth in the money supply -+ Answer Bank unemployment growth in velocity inflation real economic growth marginal propensity to save Suppose that the velocity of money is stable, 4% real economic growth is occurring, the rate of inflation is 4%, unemployment is 5.3%, and the marginal propensity to save is 3%. By how much is the money supply growing? Enter your answer as a percentage.
Suppose inflation is still high be mid-2022 and the Fed chair announces his/her policy. Suppose his or her approach to monetary policy can be summarized by the following statement: “I care only about inflation. Unemployment is at very low levels for quite some time” b) What would be the effect on the aggregate demand curve?
20) Use a graph to show the differences in the central bank reaction function if the Fed is more tolerant or less tolerant of deviations from inflation in the short run. 21) For each of the following scenarios, state the short-run effect on the AD curve. a. The price level decreases. b. The target inflation rate increases. c. The U.S. dollar falls in value relative to other currencies. d. Government spending increases. e. The Fed becomes more tolerant of deviations from the target inflation rate. 22) Explain why some shifts to the aggregate demand curve are temporary and why some are permanent.
Suppose you observe the time series of output y and real money supply M/ P reported in the Figure below. Nominal money supply M is under full control of the Central Bank. Output y Real Money Supply M³/P Time t Time t 1 3 4 1 2 3 4 6. Interpret these time series using the ASAD Redux model with workers misperceptions (Lecture Notes, Chapter 1). Assume that the time paths are caused by a single permanent shock hitting the economy at time t= 1, and interpret time t = 6 as the medium run. Your general task is to guess what type of shock can be responsible for the observed time series. Answer each of the following questions, providing clear motivation for your statements: (a) Can the shock be a permanent change, positive or negative, in public expenditures G? Motivate your answer.
HW 9 EQ 2) Hey, I need help with the following econ question. Thank you in advance! According to the quantity theory of money, if in a year's time, real GDP grew from $10 trillion to $10.2 trillion, and nominal GDP for the same time period grew from $10 trillion to $10.5 trillion, what is the growth rate of money supply? And the inflation rate?
9. Which of the following will result in expansionary monetary or fiscal policy being the LEAST effective in increasing real GDP? A. The LRAS curve has a negative slope B. Aggregate demand is less elastic than aggregate supply C. Wages and prices are very flexible and change quickly in reaction to policy changes D. The SRAS curve is perfectly elastic
The figure to the right shows an economy in an initial long-run equilibrium at point A. a. Using the line drawing tool, show how, if at all, the equilibrium real GDP and the long-run equilibrium price level are affected by a reduction in the quantity of money in circulation. Properly label this line. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. b. According to your graph, the equilibrium price level while the equilibrium real GDP Price Level LRAS₁ A RGDP1 Real GDP ($ trillions per year) AD₁
Question 7. Suppose there is an exogenous increase in the price of oil in an economy. a. Use the aggregate demand and supply model to illustrate and examine the impact of the oil-price increase on output, employment and the price level in both the short run and the long run. b. If the Bank of Canada cares about keeping output and employment at their natural-rate levels, what is the policy response of the Bank of Canada? What is the impact of policy response on the price level? Use the aggregate demand and supply model to explain your answer. Please illustrate the answers using figures with aggregate demand and supply curves. Please also briefly explain the answers in words.
QUESTION 3 Refer to the graph shown below. Suppose the economy is initially at A but then the Fed adopts a contractionary monetary policy. Using the AS/AD model reasoning, this policy will cause the economy to move to LAS Price level C D 4 0 OC in the short run COC in the short run SAS, SAS, AD AD, SAS, AD, Bel output CAA in the short run and the long run. B in the short run and the long run and A in the long run. and E in the long run.
Consider the figure to the right. If the Bank of Canada decreases the quantity of money in circulation sufficiently to generate a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve by $0.5 trillion, will actual equilibrium real GDP rise by this amount in the classical model? Explain. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw a new AD curve that shows the effects of decreasing the quantity of money in circulation by $0.5 trillion. Label your line 'AD ₂.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the economy's new long-run equilibrium price and level of real GDP. Label this point 'E₂.' Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. In the classical model, actual equilibrium real GDP from E₁ to E₂. In other words, with fall by this amount because prices and the economy moves O A. Say's law and flexible interest rates, prices and wages would always lead to full employment at a level of real GDP of $4 trillion. OB. Say's law and inflexible interest rates, prices and…
1. Based on the most recent announcement made by the RBA Governor (see the RBA Statement on the Monetary Policy Decision for May 2023 below), identify what type of monetary policy did the RBA implement in this announcement? Which part of the AD-AS model is this policy aiming to shift and in what direction? What does the RBA’s monetary policy decision tell us about which phase of the business cycle we are currently in, and which economic indicator the RBA is most concerned about? (3-4 sentences) 2. In its announcement, the RBA Governor refers to “the importance of returning inflation to target.” As part of your Policy Brief, explain what is meant by the inflation target and how does an inflation target contribute to good economic management? Based on the news updates that we discussed in our lectures and tutorials throughout this course, what are some factors that are currently contributing to inflationary pressures in Australia and globally, and which part of the AD-AS model are…
