Aggregate demand and supply shocks for the US economy from real-time survey data on inflation and real GDP growth using a novel identification scheme. Our approach exploits non-Gaussian features of macroeconomic forecast revisions and imposes minimal theoretical assumptions. After verifying that our results for US post-war business cycle fluctuations are largely in line with the prevailing consensus, we proceed to study output and price fluctuations during COVID-19. We attribute two thirds of the decline in 2020:Q1 GDP to a negative shock to aggregate demand. In contrast, regarding the staggeringly large decline in GDP in 2020:Q2, we estimate two thirds of this shock was due to a reduction in aggregate supply. Statistical analysis suggests a slow recovery due to a persistent effects of the supply shock, but surveys suggest a somewhat faster rebound with a recovery in aggregate supply leading the way. 1. In comparison to US economy, what are the effects of Aggregate Demand and Supply in Indian economy? 2. Analyze the case, considering the real GDP, nominal GDP, unemployment and inflation

QUESTION 29 The DoDo Bird Co., a U.S.-based MNC has applied the following regression model to estimate the sensitivity of its cash flows to exchange rate movements PCF; = ao + bęet + Ut Where the term on the left hand-side is the percentage change in the inflation adjusted cash flows measured in U.S. dollars over period t and eț is the percentage change in the exchange rate of the euro (versus the dollar; number of dollars required to buy one euro) over period t. The regression model estimates a coefficient of bt equal to 0.5. This indicates that: O a. If the euro appreciates by 1%, DoDo Bird's dollar cash flows will decline by .5%. O b. If the euro depreciates by 1%, DoDo Bird's dollar cash flows will increase by 2%. O c. If the euro depreciates by 1%, DoDo Bird's dollar cash flows will decrease by 2%. Od.If the euro depreciates by 1%, DoDo Bird's dollar cash flows will decline by .5%. O e. None of the above QUESTION 30 The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: O a. Lowered corporate tax rate…
Consider the two-period Real Business Cycle (RBC) model without uncertainty presented in the lecture slides, but with one modification. Now assume that the instantaneous utility function for households takes the form: where Ct is consumption at time t and (1- lt) is leisure time at time t. Given that the time endowment is normalized to 1, it follows that lt is hours worked at time t. Finally, Ɵ > 0, b > 0 and gamma > 0 are parameters. All households in the economy are assumed to be identical. We can therefore consider a 'representative household' (henceforth 'the household'). Set t = 1 for the present period and set t = 2 for the next period. For example, C1 is consumption in the present period and C2 is consumption in the next period. Remember, this is a two-period model so there are no time periods prior to t = 1 and there are no time periods after t = 2 Assume that the household begins and ends life with no accumulated wealth and that the real interest rate is r (where…

Please explian these concepts of Ricardian Model in your own words (include what formulas/rules apply for each): 1. autarky prices 2. prices where trade occurs 3. Real wages 4. What are other parts of the model besides the three listed above
Japan is experiencing Inflation due to excess demand. Draw a correctly labled AS/AD model representing where the economy is relative to the Natural Rate of Unemployment
There is an on‐going debate on how unemployment benefits affect the unemployment rate. In the context of the Mortensen‐Pissarides model, unemployment benefits are represented by the variable b. Explain carefully how an increase in b affects each equilibrium condition (Beveridge curve, vacancy supply condition, and wage setting curve.) How is the steady‐state unemployment rate impacted by an increase in b? Use the simulation tool here, https://www.briancjenkins.com/dmp‐model/simulation‐tool.html, to check your answer.

Concept of Hysteresis suggests that the economic shocks affect the economy only for a short time period. True or false, justify your response in either case:
Consider the Ramsey Model of the macroeconomy. Explain using a phase diagram how an economy starting from any point in phase space reaches the unique steady state solution. Now suppose once the steady state is reached that there is an unexpected permanent fall in government spending. Explain, using a phase diagram, how the c = 0 and k = 0 curves are affected and how the economy moves to a new steady state. How are interest rates affected during the transition to the new steady state? Explain your answer.

We try to predict the unemployment (unem) with an AR(1) model and VAR(1) (unemployment and inflation). Figure 1 shows the predication results based on AR(1) and the Figure 2 shows that for VAR(1). The RMSE and MAE for AR(1) are 0.48 and 0.54, while those for VAR(1) are 0.58 and 0.52. Which one of the following statements is correct: 10 civilian unemployment rate, % амми um 1950 O b. O c.

The Covid-19 pandemic did not only have effects on demand, but also on supply. In particular, many countries are experiencing surges of inflation, whereas inflation in Switzerland remains relatively low. Consider the AA-DD model and start again from full employment. Analyze the effects from an increase in the foreign price level P∗. For simplicity, assume that the domestic price level P remained constant.
