4. A large decline in government purchases: Suppose there is a large temporary decline in government purchases in the economy, financed by an unspecified decline in future lump sum taxes. (a) Analyze the effect of the shock in the labor market diagram of a standard DSGE model (with no sticky prices or wages). What is the effect on the real wage and employment in the short run? (b) How would your answer change if there are sticky prices? (c) Discuss how your answer relates to the impulse response functions shown in Figure 15.12. (Hint: That figure is for an increase in government pur- chases, so you need to switch the sign of the effects in that figure.)

1. In the Fischer model, we change the aggregate supply and demand curves to Y = Pt - E-1Pt + u; Y; = M – Pt That is, there is no demand shock but there is a supply shock u,. The shock is an AR(1) process u, = pu,-1 + ee, where e, is a zero-mean white noise. Everything else of the model is the same as the one discussed in class. a) For the case of a one-period contract, show that money has no effect on output. b) For the case of a two-period contract, show that money can make output less volatile. c) How does your answer change if the supply shock is white noise instead of an AR(1) process?
Sub : EconomicsPls answer very fast.I ll upvote. Thank You 3)- Consider if in a given economy, the parliament approves an increase in minimum wage. Starting from the medium run equilibrium, when economy is at full employment to discuss the effects of this shock. a)- Using a set of WS/PS curves, and only in labor market, in step by step way, explain the impacts. b)- Using the aggregate supply and demand (AS/AD), and IS/LM curves, show the short and medium run equilibrium points.

On the graph, label your starting AD line as AD 2019. Draw a new AD line showing the change to AD due to the pandemic. Label your starting SRAS line as SRAS 2019. Draw a new SRAS line showing the change to supply due to the pandemic.Label the new short-run equilibrium RGDP and Price Level. Does output (i.e. RGDP) increase or decrease in your model? Does the price level increase or decrease in your model? According to the AD-AS model when RGDP falls the unemployment rises and vice versa. Does your graph indicate an increase or decrease in the unemployment rate
Attached: figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model Question 1 Why does Hayek’s aggregate supply curve always lead to an equilibrium level of national output equal to the full-employment level of real GDP? Question 2 Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek’s idea that governments cannot increase real GDP beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce? Question 3 Do you believe that the Hayek’s classical AD-AS model explain the factors that cause changes (shifts) in AS realistically? Why or why not?
