When aggregate output is below the natural rate of output, what happens to the inflation rate over time if theaggregate demand curve remains unchanged? Why?
Describe how changes in expected inflation impact an economy in the wake of a temporary negative supply shock.
Consider a standard AD-AS model. If the central bank responds relatively aggressively to inflation being below target, temporary supply shocks have relatively little effect on output. True/False. Remember to include your explanation.
in the Lucas Imperfect Information model, do aggregate demand shocks have real affects? Explain. What is the implication of this result for stabilisation policy?
What role, if any, does monetary policy play in the Real Business Cycle Model?
Y=F(K,L) K=R L=T Y=C+I+G C = Co + C1( Y – T) – C2r I = I0 - I1r G=G T=T It is known that in addition to a drop in consumer confidence, investor confidence also fell. Explain mathematically, graphically, and intuitively what effects these two shocks will have (simultaneously) in the long run on consumption, savings, investment, interest rates, fiscal deficit, and output.
use the classical rbc model to show the effects on the economy of a temporary beneficial supply shock; for example, a decrease in the price of oil. You should show the impact on the real wage, employment, output, the real interest rate, consumption, investment, and the price level.
Consider a standard AD-AS model. An increase in the interest sensitivity of consumption and/or investment demand makes the AD curve flatter and makes inflation more responsive to supply shocks. True/False. Remember to include your explanation.
How would the level of aggregate demand be affected by a rise in the interest rate in the Keynesian theory? Which components would be affected most strongly?
In this section, the context is a large negative shock to autonomous consumption in an open economy. You may assume the economy is initially at a medium run equilibrium. Aggregate demand can decline for many reasons. Give a specific example of when you would choose to model the onset of a recession by a fall in autonomous consumption and explain why.
Consider the AD-AS model discussed during the lectures. Assume that the aggregate demand curve is given by Y=8-0.5 π, that the long run aggregate supply curve is given by Yp=7, that the short run aggregate supply curve is given by π = π_expect + 0.3(Y-Yp), and that the monetary rule is given byr=1+0.3 π. Suppose the economy is suffering a decrease in the potential level of output, due to some ill-designed new regulation. According to the AD- AS model, what is more suitable to offset the subsequent decline in output, an expansionary monetary policy or an expansionary fiscal policy?
Consider a standard AD-AS model.An increase in the inflation target is associated with a short-run decrease in unemployment but not along-run decrease in unemployment.Answer true, false, or uncertain. Please briefly explain your answer.
