Consider the Keynesian sticky wage model. Assume that the economy is operating close to, but not at, its zero lower bound (ZLB). Discuss the following: 1. Could a negative shock to the IS curve make the ZLB bind? Explain and illustrate graph-ically. 2. Could a shock to current productivity z make the ZLB bind? What would need to be the sign of this shock to make the ZLB bind? 3. In the data, in most episodes where the ZLB binds (the US in the wake of the Great Recession, Japan during the 1990s, and the US during the Great Depression), output is low. Given this, would a supply shock as the reason for a binding ZLB make empirical sense? 4. Intuitively, explain why changes in government spending have a bigger effect on output at the ZLB than away from it.

Q: "Introducing Keynesian Economics" says that Keynes A: - wanted social revolution just like Marx - aggregrate supply is determined by the level of aggregrate demand, the level of aggregrate demand deternines level of employment - aggregrate supply determines aggregrate demand and the market always gives full-employment equilibrium - all of the above
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.

How does the classical business cycle analysis change the IS-LM modelto make it different from a more Keynesian one?
If a Keynesian model shows that aggregate demand for both goods and labor has shifted to the left, while wages are sticky and remain at the same level and prices remain at the same prices, what will be the result in the labor market? a a shortage of labor b depression c coordinated wage reductions d a surplus of labor
I is economy IS In a recessIonary yap wrieı ure aciuai GUP IS Delow pouu DIIIIUI. b. Explain why wages rise when output is greater than potential but fall when output is less than potential. When there is a recessionary gap, if there is no intervention in the economy the level of actual unemployment will rise above the natural level of unemployment in the economy. Thus, there will be more competition among workers to find a job, which will put downward pressure on the level of wages. 1- c.

a. Why is the AS curve gradually rising in the full employment range? What variables would cause a shift in the AD curve and in the AS curve?b. Discuss IS- LM model? Why does IS Curve Slope Downward? What are the factors that causes a shift in the IS curve?
Question 16 According to the Keynes, the economy O is self-correcting. requires, at times, government help to reach full employment. O will always be at full employment. O will never be at full employment.
3. Graphically illustrate the Keynesian Model, show the equilibrium level of GDP (label it Ye) and the full employment level of GDP (label it Yf).
2. The graph below shows the AD-AS model in short-run equilibrium at price level Po and level of real GDP at Yo. Label the following: AD, SRAS, LRAS, Po and Yo. P Y A. Is this SR equilibrium a recessionary gap or an inflationary gap? Why is the undesirable? B. Assume Congress and the President decide to act. How would you suggest they alter each of the following (1,↓↓, or no change)? - Taxes - Transfer Payments -Government Spending C. Show the effects of these changes in the space above. Assume this intervention brings the economy back to potential GDP. D. As the economy moves from Yo to Yp, what happens to the following (1,↓, or no change)? - Real GDP - the unemployment rate - The price level - the rate of inflation
