Suppose an economy experiences a period of high growth and low unemployment. Eventually output returns to its previous level, and but there is a sustained increase in the price level. in 3-5 sentences, using the AS/AD model, describe what type of shock must have occurred and what happened to the economy. Be sure to include which curve(s) must have shifted initially and which direction. Then describe what must have occured to reach the long-run outcome - in other words, which curve(s) adjusted and what happened to output, unemployment, and the price level.

What kind of economic shock does the following statements represent? Short-term effects of rising household saving in response to RRSP and RRIFs tax-saving provisions: choose from: affect only long-run aggregate supply, positive aggregate demand shock, negative aggregate supply shock, negative aggregate demand shock, positive aggregate supply shock More Canadians vacation at home (Canada): choose from: negative aggregate supply shock, changes both short-run and long-run aggregate supply, positive aggregate supply shock, negative aggregate demand shock, changes long-run aggregate supply, positive aggregate demand shock Businesses face high commodity (input) prices: choose from: changes long-run aggregate supply, negative aggregate demand shock, positive aggregate demand shock, changes both short-run and long-run aggregate supply, negative aggregate supply shock, positive aggregate supply shock
For Shock C: Suppose the economy starts in the long run equilibrium. Illustrate changes that the shock will cause in the short run (using AD-SRAS). Explain why each curve shifts. Determine how the price level and output will be affected in the short run. Mark the output gap on the diagram. Is the output gap positive or negative? Is the economy is booming, or is it in a recession? On the same diagram illustrate how the economy will adjust to the shock in the long run and explain the mechanism. Determine how the price level and output will be affected in the long run. C. Firms expect an economic boom in the coming years As a result of this shock, in the short run the (SRAS Curve/AD Curve) will shift? In consequence, in the short run prices and output will? In the short run, there will be a ? (negative/postive) output gap,which means there will be a ? (boom/recession) As time passes, because of high unemployment the wages in the economy will? (decrease/increase) As a result,…
Assume the economy operates in the intermediate range of aggregate supply curve. Using the AS/AD model, discus the impact of the following events on the price level and real GDP, and provide relevant figures. a) The recent oil production cut by OPEC and its allies, including Russia, disrupted the global oil market. b) An expansionary monetary policy on which the interest rate is lowered.
Using the ASAD graph and starting in long run equilibrium YA = Y* (see the model example in the textbook Figure 13.11) take each of following shocks one by one in separate graphs and decide if the event falls into the real shock (LRAS) category or aggregate demand (AD) shock category. Then graph each. Remember that “shocks” include both good and bad events and the graph should show that in the short run the economy is either that YA < Y* or YA > Y* A fall in the input price of oil A rise in consumer optimism A cut in business taxes if they buy new equipment Foreigners buy fewer US made goods. Consumer Fear New inventions (A) occur at a faster pace than usual A faster money growth rate A permanent cut in income taxes
What happened first was a major policy-induced supply shock. The lockdown forced firms in several directly affected sectors, from restaurants to hotels to airlines, to halt (or at least to drastically decrease) supply. In contrast to other supply shocks analyzed earlier in the book, many firms had no choice other than to stop or decrease production. As a result of sharply lower output, and thus lower income, and of increased uncertainty, this shock had a major effect on demand, not just in the sectors directly affected by the lockdown, but also in the non-affected sectors. Thus, the outcome was a combination of a supply shock and a sharp demand response. In that context, the role of macroeconomic policy was twofold. First: While it could not do much to increase output in the affected sectors, it needed to protect the firms in those sectors from going bankrupt and the workers who lost work from going hungry. Second: It needed to limit the effect of lower demand in the non-affected…
The Great Depression, according to John Maynard Keynes, was caused by people hoarding cash under their mattresses and not contributing to aggregate demand. This in turn, resulted in businesses being unable to sell their products, ultimately grinding the economy to a halt. Is this an accurate representation of what caused the Great Depression?
Consider if in a given economy, the parliament approves an increase in minimum wage. Starting from the medium run equilibrium, when economy is at full employment to discuss the effects of this shock. a)- Using a set of WS/PS curves, and only in labor market, in step by step way, explain the impacts. b)- Using the aggregate supply and demand (AS/AD), and IS/LM curves, show the short and medium run equilibrium points. [No explanation, only neat and well-marked graphs are acceptable]
Detail the macroeconomic policies that might be used to tackle the effects of a severe negative supply shock and explain the dilemmas faced.
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…
Which of the following would initiate a negative AD shock? taxes decrease monetary policy lowers the federal funds interest rate taxes increase household wealth (e.g. equity and/or housing prices) increase
Sort the following shocks into aggregate supply or aggregate demand shocks. Remember that "shocks” include both good and bad events. No need to motivate your answer. Fall in the price of oil A rise in consumer optimism A hurricane that destroys factories Good weather that creates a bumper crop A rise in sales taxes Foreigners buy fewer goods Fear New inventions occur at a faster pace A faster money growth rate
