Consider the perfectly competitive model applied to the market for corporate discount bonds. Initially the market clears in equilibrium at price PE and quantity QE. Using diagrams and economic analysis, describe separately the equilibrium effects of the following shocks: There's a new legislation introduced that decreases the amount of information that 1. corporations have to present in the financial statements. Assume this solely leads to an increase in the risk of investing in corporate bonds. 2. A technological breakthrough in fracking makes extraction of shale gas easier. The market participants believe this will decrease inflation rate in the future as costs of heating will drop. Now consider a perfectly competitive model applied to the market for US government discount bonds

8. Assume that there is an exogenous decline in the price of imported oil. Using the graphical analysis in this chapter, explain how such a shock would affect output and the price level. Explain the role inflationary expectations play in this adjustment.
Illustrate the following with supply and/or demand curves: In 2015, Chipotle suspended the sale of pork at one-third of its restaurants due to animal welfare concerns, and this had a significant impact on the amount of chicken entrees it sold to customers. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the effect of this shock on the supply or demand curve. Label your line 'Shock'.. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, locate the new equilibrium point. Label your point 'E'. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Price per unit ($) 5.00 4.50- 4.00- 3.50- 3.00- 2.50- 2.00- 1.50 1.00- 0.50- 0.00+ 0 Market for Chicken 10 20 30 40 50 60 50 60 70 80 Quantity So ·Do 90 100
Households and businesses were surprised by oil price increases in 1970s. What happened because of this supply shock?A) The economy experienced disinflation.B) Lenders were made better off at the expense of borrowers becoming worse off.C) Households had an increased incentive to save money.D) Firms experienced an increase in their operating costs.
Consider the infinite horizon RBC model with uncertainty developed in class where the representative consumer and firm are assumed to have rational expectations. The consumer has following expected lifetime utility: Eo B¹ {log (C₂) +nlog(1)} ŋ>0, and ß € (0,1), t=0 wher C, is consumption and 1, is leisure. The consumer's lifetime budget constraint looks like: Ct › wt (h − lt) + IIt − It ==0(1+rs) t=0 II's=0(1+rs) Σ + So where h> 0 denotes total hours available for either work or leisure; w, is the wage rate; II, denotes the dividend/profit payments; T, denotes lump-sum taxes; r is the interest rate and So 20 denotes the initial savings. Show that the consumer's Euler equation-i.e., the optimal choice of consumption today versus consumption tomorrow-takes the following from: } = BE: {C+7(1+7+4+1)}. (Hint: take the F.O.C. w.r.t. C, and isolate E,{A}. Next, take the F.O.C. w.r.t. C++1 and isolate Et+1{A} then take the expectation of this expression at time t and note that E+E++1{A} = E{A}…
3. Is the above model consistent with the policy ineffectiveness proposition? How does the policy implication of the model differ from that of the traditional static AD-AS model with exogenous expectations or adaptive expectations? Explain.

Question 1 An economy is described by the following equations, where all the variables have the usual definition: C = 1700 + 0.8 (Y - T) - 2000r IP = 3000 - 1100r G= G = 2500 X = X = 80 %3D M= 0.06Y T=T = 2500 a) Find an equation relating planned spending to output and the real interest rate. Also find the short-run equilibrium output when real interest is 7%. . b) Find the income-expenditure multiplier. c) If potential output = 20000, by how much would government purchases have to change in order to eliminate any output gap?

Please write down a sentence or two for each one that explains the concept. Please include any formulas and rules that I should know for every subtopic aside from those two sentences. I am studying for an exam and I want to understand these concepts throughly.
1. Suppose an airline announces that its earnings this year are lower than expected due to reduced ticket sales. The airline spokesperson gives no information on how the company plans to turn things around. Use the model of demand and supply to show and explain what is likely to happen to the price of the airline’s stock. * 2. A minimum wage law is another example of a price floor. Draw demand and supply curves for unskilled labor. The horizontal axis will show the quantity of unskilled labor per period and the vertical axis will show the hourly wage rate for unskilled workers, which is the price of unskilled labor. Show and explain the effect of a minimum wage that is above the equilibrium wage. * 3. The provision of university education through taxpayer-supported state universities is another example of a market with a third-party payer. Use the model of demand and supply to discuss the impact this has on the higher education market. Specifically, draw a graph similar to…
