/Consider a baseline long run equilibrium where output is 22 trillion dollars, and the price level is 100. Note: In the Long Run Steady State Equilibrium, Price expectation is the same as price level & unemployment is 5% or lower. None of these are guaranteed in the short run. Usually, short run equilibrium is called an underemployment equilibrium.
Starting from the baseline, suppose COVID 19 hits this economy. If this disease only makes workers sick (everything else remaining constant)

this is a Continuing from Question 3, and Question 3 had been answered in Answer 3 table. 

You should answer in table Anwser4 with following steps

Steps
Your Answers
Step 1) What happens in the short run to
equilibrium price level and aggregate quantity &
why? (Think about which curve shifts in which
direction and why & where is the new short run
equilibrium?)<
Covid 19 hits the economy. Hence the aggregate
supply curve has shifted to its left. Initially, the
price rises, as the economy is at a long-run steady-
state equilibrium, there will be no change in output
supply.
Step 2) What happens to the initial equality
between price level and price expectations because
of COVID19?
the change in price will be short but there will be a
recession in the economy.
Step 3) What happens to price expectations in the the change in price will be short but there will be a
recession in the economy.
long run? (The market adjustment phase)<
Step 4) What happens next in the market
adjustment phase? (Think about which curve shifts
in which direction and why & where is the new
short run equilibrium?)<
If they were opting for expansionary fiscal or
monetary policy. Then the demand will be
increased and if new technology can be used up
then supply can be also raised.
Step 5) Now that your Keynesian Colleague has
proposed a massive expansionary fiscal policy, do
you think it will work as an in-built stabilizer (i.e.,
return the economy back to a long run: would it
stop market adjustment?)? Are there policies that
you will propose as a Classical Macroeconomist
that
Yes, if expansionary fiscal policies are
implemented in the economy as recommended by a
colleague, the short-run equilibrium level will
change dramatically, and the economy will
experience an in-built stabilizer effect. The
traditional hypothesis is more focused on long-run
objectives in which the market changes itself and
there is no need for government intervention.
Despite the fact that it has been known in the past
that the old-style hypothesis of trusting that the
market will address itself does not always work.
is distinct from your Keynesian Colleague's
proposal?

Answer 4)
Steps
Step 1) What will be the shape of the
Phillips Curve (Upward / Downward/
Vertical/Horizontal). I want you to think
about what variable is measured on the
horizontal axis of the Phillips Curve
Graph and what variable is measured in
the Phillips Curve Vertical axis. Then
tell us what it means to say that Phillips
Curve is upward or downward sloping
or vertical or horizontal
Step 2) Remember the policy your
Keynesian Colleague picked in Question
3: why did this policy create a
downward/upward/vertical/horizontal
sloping Phillips Curve?
