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.

Using the AD-AS model, if consumers and business become more optimistic about the future direction of the economy and increase spending, then: a-long-run aggregate supply will decrease. b-aggregate demand will decrease. c-aggregate demand will increase. d-long-run aggregate supply will increase.
Suppose that the following equations represent an entire economy. What size output shock will send the economy into a liquidity trap? t = y0.5 (r - 3%) r = 2% + (πt - 2%) + 2.9t πt = 2% + t
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
Describe an economic environment which would be characterized by the term "stagflation". Using an AD - AS diagram, depict and given an example of a macroeconomic shock that would take an economy from a long - run equilibrium to a situation of stagflation. Label all points on the graph completely and point out the key characteristics associated with stagflation on your graph.
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…
(Note: All your answers should be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Example: 12.034 =>12.03, 5.175=>5.18) For each of the following situations, use an AD/AS model to describe what happens to price levels and output in the United States in the short run. In each case assume the economy starts in long- and short-run equilibrium, and show the appropriate shifts in the AS or AD curves. Suppose that the AD and AS curves are given as: AD: AS: P=6.1-0.2 Y(GDP) P= -1 +0.15 Y(GDP) Using Excel create a spreadsheet with the column headings Y, AD,JAS, G, and T. Let's start with no change in G, and T. Fill in the spreadsheet's cells for Y= 19.0 to Y= 21.0 in increments of 0.1. What is the equilibrium GDP? What is the equilibrium P? Now, there is a decrease in Tax (T), i.e., tax cut by $1 (trillion). It is assumed that an 1 unit decrease in T shifts the AD curve to the right by 0.08 units. If P and Y (GDP) won't change immediately, what happens to the nation's output? (surplus, shortage, or no…
During 2000, there was a sharp reduction in stock prices and a sharp increase in the world price of crude oil. How will aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the United States be influenced by these two factors? Using the AD-AS model, explain the expected impact on output.
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
Suppose England's economy is in long-run equilibrium. As a result of the coronavirus, the British government orders all non-essential businesses to close and issue “shutter in” and other “stay at home” directives requiring its citizens and residents not to leave their residences absent emergencies and/or to purchase food and groceries from markets (that is, people cannot, for example, go to restaurants, movies or sporting events and the like.) If so, then we would predict that in the short-run England's A. real GDP will fall and the price level might rise, fall, or stay the same. B. real GDP will rise and the price level might rise, fall, or stay the same. C. the price level will rise, and real GDP might rise, fall, or stay the same. D. the price level will fall, and real GDP might rise, fall, or stay the same
Q1: Consider the IS-LM model. Suppose the economy of Economica is initially at the general equilibrium. This year, the weather in Economica is extremely good. a. Explain and show graphically how a good weather shock affects the labor, goods, or the asset market. b. Explain and show graphically how a good weather shock affects the short-run equilibrium. c. Explain and show graphically how a good weather shock affects the general (long-run) equilibrium.
If an economy starts in a long run equilibrium and then there is a large decrease in the stock market and decrease in consumer wealth, what happens to the expected and actual prices? Does this affect real wages and price changes in other countries as well?
