In the AD/AS model assume 2019 began with potential real GDP = $19.7 trillion, while actual real GDP = $19.0 trillion and the Price Level (GDP Deflator) = 210. A year later the Price Level = 214 and actual real GDP = $18.9. Based on their relative %3D effects on the AD/AS model, which of the following scenarios best explains this new outcome? The effect of Group of answer choices an increase in government spending is MORE than the effect of decreased electricity prices. an increase in wages is LESS than the effect of a decrease in government spending. a decrease in oil prices is MORE than the effect of positive consumer expectations. an increase in inflationary expectations is MORE than the effect of increased government spending.

South Korea, Japan, and China are the major buyers of Qatar’s natural gas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these counties suffered from a sharp reduction in economic growth rates. Based on our discussion of chapters 9 and 10, Use the AD and AS macroeconomic equilibrium model to show, graphically, the short run and long run impact of the low economic rates in South Korea, Japan, and China on the macroeconomic equilibrium in the Qatari’s economy (Ceteris Paribus). Assume that Qatar’s economy was initially operating at the potential level of GDP and there is no government or central bank intervention. Briefly explain
What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demand or aggregate supply? Justify your answer. In each case use a diagram to show the expected effects on the equilibrium price level and real output level in the economy. Assume that all other things remain constant and prices are inflexible downward. (a) A reduction in interest rates at each price level (b) A sizable increase in labor productivity. (c) The nation’s currency appreciates against its major trading partners .

Consider the basic Macroeconomic model involving: Private sector consumption: C = co+c1(Y-T); Y = GDP, T = Taxes Tax function: T = to+t1Y Business sector investment: I = io+i2r, r=interest rate Government spending: G = Go Exports: X = xo+x1x; x = Exchange rate of the dollar Imports: M = mo+m1Y+m2x; x = Exchange rate (a) Identify and explain the parameters: co, t1, i2, and m2. (b) Solve this model for the equilibrium GDP (Y*).
IS-LM model is defined via seven equations given below: C =15+0.8(Y -T) T = -25+ 0.25Y I = 65 – R G=94 X = 50– 10-0.1Y L = 5Y – 50R M =1500 C: Consumption, Y: Income, T: Tax, I: Investment, R: Interest Rate, G: Government Expenditure, X: Net Exports, L: Money Demand and M: Money Supply. Solve this system for Y and R in the matrix format by reducing it to IS and LM equations. Calculate government and trade deficits. Note that IS-LM structure is based on Y and R.
In the 1960s the U.S entered the Vietnam War, and military expenditures (part of government expenditures) grew from an annual rate of $113 billion to 138 billion. The economy was near full-employment and, therefore, given there was no offsetting tax increase, inflation pressures emerged. Assume the MPC is .75 A) How did the increase in military expenditures affect AD? B) If in 1968 the AD Excess was $150 billion, what change in government expenditures would you have recommended?
The outbreak of COVID-19 adversely attacks most economies. Some economists argue that the impacts on the macroeconomy mainly come from (i) the reduction in consumption and investment appetite, while others believe that the impacts mainly come from (ii) the immediate destruction of the supply-chain and production. Suppose two quarters since the outbreak of the COVID-19, changes in selected macroeconomic data of Country X can be summarized as below: Last Year This Year Annualized economic growth rate 4% -6% Unemployment rate 5% 8% Inflation rate 2% 5% Assume that argument (ii) is true, briefly discuss one plausible short-run dilemma facing the central bank of Country X.
Consider an AS AD diagram. What would happen in the model if Energy prices increased? Group of answer choices a. AD shifts right and prices increase while real GDP increases b. AS shifts left and prices increase while real GDP decreases c. AS shifts right and prices decrease while real GDP increases d. AD shifts left and prices decreases while real GDP decreases
Which of the following is a major difference between the AD-AS model and the dynamic AD-AS model? The dynamic AD-AS model assumes OA. AD only includes consumption, investment, and government purchases, while the AD-AS model assumes AD includes consumption, investment, government purchases and net exports. B. the SRAS is stable and will not shift, while the AD-AS model assumes the SRAS can only change with an exogenous event such as oil price changes. OC. the economy does not experience long-run growth, while the AD-AS model assumes there is constant inflation in the economy. OD. potential GDP increases continually, while the AD-AS model assumes the LRAS does not change.
An economy is in equilibrium at a real GDP of 750, but current estimates put potential output at Yp = 700. a) Answer the following fill-in the blank question. When Y = 750 and Yp = 700 there is a (Select One) gap and the size of the gap is equal to 0 (Select One) inflationary b) Answer the following fill-in the blank recessionary Note: Keep as much precision as possible design calculations. Your final answer should be accurate to at least three decimal places. Research suggests that the MPC is 0.8, the MPM is 0.15, and the net tax rate is 0.2. Therefore, the slope of AE is Oand the multiplier is 0 which means that G must be decreased by 0 to remove the gap and achieve equilibrium. c) If the government preferred to change its net tax rate to eliminate the gap, and not change government expenditure, what new tax rate would be required to eliminate the gap? Note: Keep as much precision as possible during your calculations. Your final answer should be accurate to at least three decimal…

The Canadian economy suffered two major shocks in 2008, leading to the severe recession of 2008–2009. One shock was related to oil prices; the other was the slump in both consumer and business confidence. This question analyzes the effect of these two shocks on GDP using the AD–AS model. Draw typical aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves. Label the horizontal axis “Real GDP” and the vertical axis “Aggregate price level.” Label the equilibrium point E1, the equilibrium quantity Y1, and equilibrium price P1. Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram from part (a) to illustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve. The New Housing Price Index, published by Statistics Canada, calculates that Canada’s home prices fell by an average of 3% in the 12 months between April 2008 and April 2009. Business fixed capital formation fell by 19% during the same period. Would the fall in home prices and business…
