Before the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the financial system operated under the Gold standard, and consequently there was very limited government intervention in case of a recession or economic disruption. Please elaborate about how, in the case of the financial system operating under the Gold Standard, the 2020 economic disruption would affect the US economy. Please provide specific examples of industries and their impact on the size of the GDP decline and the subsequent recovery.

QUESTION 7 As a result of entering the world economy, Neverland experiences economic boom and its GDP goes up to y=13250: The functions that describe consumption and investment are still the same: cd () = 5000 – 1000r +0.25Y and 1d() = 500 – 1800r+0.2Y: Government spending is also the same: G=1800- What is Neverland's current account balance? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.
Please use the AD-AS model to analyze the effects of monetary policy and fiscal policy on economic outcome in an open economy: a. Please show graphically the shifting of the AD curve after the Fed conducts an expansionary monetary policy in a closed economy (A closed economy means there is no international trade.). How do the price level and the real GDP change? b. Suppose the economy becomes an open economy. Please revise the result that you get in part (a). Please explain how you get the new result using the AD-AS model. c. Please show graphically the shifting of the AD curve after the federal government conducts an expansionary fiscal policy in a closed economy. Please show the crowding-out effect. How do the price level and the real GDP change? d. Suppose the economy becomes an open economy. Please revise the result that you get in part (c). Please explain how you get the new result based on the AD-AS model.

. Consider the following equations for a small open economy for both the goods and money markets. C = 4000 + 0.8Yd; T = 1000 + 0.25Y; G = 8000; TR = 400; I = 5000 + 0.25Y – 100r; M = 3000 + 0.2Y; X = 2000; LP = 1000 + 0.15Y; LT = 2000 + 0.25Y – 15r; Ls = 1000 – 25r; MS = 40,000; P= 4 a. Derive both the IS and LM equations for the economy and compute the Equilibrium level of Income and Interest Rate.

India’s preparedness In May 2013, the Fed indicated the possibility of tapering, (a phenomenon of winding liquidity and reducing money supply which would increase interest rates). Higher interest differential in US caused a panic in Indian stock markets and Bond markets leading to a capital flight. India was in dire straits. The three pressure points that emerged were the unsustainable current account deficit (which had risen to 4.8% of GDP); the possibility of ratings downgrade by international credit rating agencies to junk; and lack of adequate foreign exchange reserves to fight a speculative attack on the rupee. The finance minister vowed to maintain the path of fiscal consolidation and bring down the fiscal deficit to below 5% of GDP. Various cuts in plan and non-plan expenditure have been instituted .
