A country's economy is close to full employment. The government then decides to launch a tax cut program. Simultaneously, the central bank launches a bond sale program of the same magnitude. What can we say about the country's aggregate product (Y), price level (P) and interest rate (i) in the short run? We can expect Y to increase, P to increase, and i to increase. O b. We can expect Y to remain unchanged, P to remain unchanged, and i to increase. O C. We can expect Y to remain unchanged, P to remain unchanged, and i to remain unchanged. Od. We can expect Y to decrease, P to decrease, and i to decrease. Oe. None of the alternatives is correct.

Discuss the short run impact (increase, decrease, unchanged, or uncertain) of the decrease in desired consumption on real output, the interest rate, the price level, the unemployment rate, investment, government spending, and net taxes. As part of your discussion do not just state direction, but also give a brief - one sentence - reason for each.
The following graph shows a hypothetical economy in long-run equilibrium at an expected price level of 120 and a natural output level of $300 billion. Suppose a stock market boom increases household wealth and causes consumers to spend more. Using the graph, shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the stock market boom.

Read Eye on Booms and Busts. Explain why the NBER reported that the 2008 recession began before real GDP had fallen for two successive quarters. The NBER Committee OA. anticipated the recession was going to happen because real GDP clearly peaked in 2007 OB. based its decision on peaks in the data on real personal income, real manufacturing, wholesale and retail sales, industrial production, and employment, which all peaked between November 2007 and June 2008 OC. made an error because a recession cannot occur unless real GDP falls for two successive quarters O D. saw that the business cycle trough occurred in the second quarter of 2009, so it was obvious that the recession began in 2008
Suppose that in a closed economy in which l = Y with Y,=5000,C=500+0.5(Y* T) and T-1000 the government decides to increase taxes ( top) permanently by 500. We know that in the medium-run: 1. S will decrease by 150. 2. S will decrease by 350, 3. S will decrease by 250. 4. S will remain constant in the medium-run.
Which of the following could potentially cause a recession? O AD increases, and wages are sticky. O AD increases, and wages are flexible. O AD falls, and wages are flexible. AD decreases, and wages are sticky.
The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $300 billion. Suppose households suddenly begin to spend less and save more in order to increase saving for retirement. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the sharp increase in saving. PRICE LEVEL 240 200 160 120 8 40 0 0 100 200 300 400 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) AS AD 500 600 AD AS A In the short run, the decrease in consumption spending associated with the increase in saving causes the price level to price level people expected and the quantity of output to the unemployment rate to the the natural level of output. The sharp increase in saving will cause the natural rate of unemployment in the short run.
If the government increases its expenditure on goods and services and as a result, the money wage rate increases, the economy has experienced _______.
1. Imagine an economy, where the SRAS in terms of inflation is given by II=5+Y, where Y is output. Imagine that the long run AS curve is given by Y=2. (25 marks) a) Give the equation of the AD curve (you can take liberties), if we assume that initially, the economy is at its long-run equilibrium. Justify. b) Imagine that your chosen AD curve's intercept goes up by one unit due to an expansionary monetary policy. What will be the new final equilibrium after this change? Justify. c) What will be the equilibrium after two periods of adjustment? Justify. d) Assume that before all the changes in the economy, in the initial, long-run equilibrium, the interest rate was 4 percent. Give an IS and an LM curve that are compatible with this initial equilibrium. Justify. e) What are the IS and LM curves going to be at the very end of the adjustment process, i.e., in the new long run equilibrium? Justify.
In the dynamic model of AD-AS in the diagram to the right, the economy is at point A in year 1 and is expected to go to point B in year 2, and the Federal Reserve pursues policy. This will result in OA. short term interest rates higher than what would occur if no policy had been pursued. OB. unemployment rates higher than what would occur if no policy had been pursued. OC. real GDP lower than what would occur if no policy had been pursued. OD. inflation higher than what would occur if no policy had been pursued.
