Consider the short-term model characterized by the following AS and AD curves: Y₁ = ā- bm(x,-) [AD] and *₁ = x² + ūỶ, +ō; [AS]. The economy is in steady state at time = -1 (that is, 1, 0-1 = 0, and a = 0). It is hit by a one-time inflation shock 0.025 at time/ = 0. For now, expectations are adaptive: You'll use the answer to this question in several follow-up questions. To keep track of your results, you should use a spreadsheet application. If you don't already have one, you can use this hyperlinked template e (it's a Google Sheet). Calculate assuming = 0.5, m = 2, = 0.03, and = 1. Enter your answer as a percentage and round to the nearest hundredth.

Consider the following 3-equation model: Y 108-2rCB +2(G-T) (1) rCB =4+1.5(\pi-\pi)+0.5(Y-Y) (2) \pi \pie+0.5(YY) (3) wherey isoutput, \pi isinflation, \pi e =\pi = 2, andY* = 100. Expected future inflation is \pi e, and Y-Y⚫ is the output gap. The variable rCB is the interest rate set by the central bank. We may interpret \pi as the central bank's inflation target. Government ex- penditure, G, and net taxes, T, are given and set by the government. (a) Which equation is the IS curve, and which is the New Keynesian Phillips curve? Provide a brief economic explanation for the relationship between \pi and \pi e in Equation (3). (b) Find inflation, output and interest rates when G = T = 5. (c) Now suppose G = 8.5 and T = 5. How are inflation, output and interest rates affected? Is the impact of the fiscal expansion on output magnified or reduced by monetary policy? Explain.
In a certain economy, the Dynamic Aggregate Supply (DAS) line is represented by the function = - π₁ = Ę ₁ = ₁ π + α ( Y₁ − Ÿ) + D and the inflation expectations formation mechanism is adaptive, that is, E₁+1 Absent a supply shock (v₁ = 0), in a figure representing period t inflation rate, π, on the vertical axis, and period t output, Y₁, on the horizontal axis, the period t DAS line will pass through the pair of points, : OA.

The American Pharmaceutical Company (APC) has a policy that all capital investments must have a five-year or less discounted payback period in order to be considered for funding. The MARR at APC is 9% per year. Is the above project able to meet this benchmark for funding? What is the payback period?
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
You work at the Central Bank and you are in charge of forecasting the effects of possible future shocks using the ASAD Redux model. Today, your task is to predict what will happen if the economy is subject to two consecutive shocks, namely, At time t = 1, there is a persistent positive shock on aggregate demand due to increased desired expenditures (e.g., a higher propensity to consume). At time t = 2, the Central Bank implements a permanent reduction in money supply. %3D The Central Bank wants you to forecast what will be the effects of a range of monetary contractions of different magnitude. Hence, you run six numerical simulations of the model assuming different sizes of the reduction in money supply. However, the software is faulty and some simulation results are wrong. Your computer produces six scenarios for employment (N) and price level (P), but some scenarios are clearly incorrect and inconsistent with the general predictions of the theoretical model: you need to eliminate the…
