Step 1) What happens in the short run to short run
equilibrium price level and aggregate quantity &
why? (Think about which curve shifts in which
direction and why & where is the new short run
equilibrium?)<
Due to Covid 19 now workers fall sick. So the
supply of labor will decrease in the market, that
leads to increase factor price, it will reduce
aggregate supply in the market. Due to the left side
shift of AS to AS1 it will reduce aggregate supply,
it leads to increase price level and decrease the
output level.<
Supply shock de to Covid is temporary shock. So
here initial objective to reduce prices. Firstly,
contractionary monetary policy will be used to
reduce inflation by increasing interest rate.<
Step 2) What policies would you propose now
(Monetary/Fiscal; Expansionary/contractionary)?
As you know by now there are many different ways
to implement Fiscal and Monetary policies. Which
method did you select? (Cutting taxes, increasing
taxes, reducing government expenditure, increasing
government expenditure for fiscal policies, &
lowering reserve ratio, increasing reserve ratio,
OMO buying bonds, OMO selling bonds etc. for
monetary policies.)<
Step 3) Based on the policy you selected in Step 2. It will shift AD left side. It will reduce output in
tell us which way will what curve shift?<
economy.
Step 4) What is the final objective of the policies
that you selected in Step 2? Do you want full
employment? Do you want to low inflation? You
want to say what objectives can you attain using the
policies you selected in step 2.
In next phase government can use expansionary
policy which will directly increase the AD and and
it will supply more factor then AS will increase in
an economy, it will restore the output and price
level at natural level of output. As it is temporary
shock. It will be restored to natural level of output.

Answer 2)
Steps
Step 1) What will be the shape of the Phillips Curve
(Upward / Downward/ Vertical/Horizontal). I want
you to think about what variable is measured on the
horizontal axis of the Phillips Curve Graph and what
variable is measured in the Phillips Curve Vertical
axis. Then tell us what it means to say that Phillips
Curve is upward or downward sloping or vertical or
horizontal
Step 2) Remember the policy you picked in Step 2 of
Question 1: It was one of these: [ (Monetary/Fiscal;
Expansionary/contractionary)? As you know by now
there are many different ways to implement Fiscal
and Monetary policies. Which method did you
select? (Cutting taxes, increasing taxes, reducing
government expenditure, increasing government
expenditure for fiscal policies, & lowering reserve
ratio, increasing reserve ratio, OMO buying bonds,
OMO selling bonds etc. for monetary policies.)] why
did this policy create a
downward/upward/vertical/horizontal sloping
Phillips Curve?
