Suppose that the economy can be described by a closed-economy IS-LM framework and that is in a recession. Assume that the IS curve is relatively steep while the LM curve is relatively flat. If you were to advise the policymakers on which action to take, what would be your advice? Show graphically.

What role do inventories play in the equilibrating process in the simple Keynesian model (as described in the TE-TP framework)?
How does the self-correcting mechanism act to pull the economy out of a recession?
John Maynard Keynes was the first to show that government policy could be used to change aggregate output and prevent recession by stabilizing the economy. Describe the economy at the time Keynes was writing. What parallels do you draw comparing that period with the current condition of the United States economy as a result of Covid?
Assume the following IS-LM model: expenditure sector: money sector: AD = C + I + G + NX I = 300 - 20i M = 700 C = 100 + (4/5)YD G = 120 P = 2 YD = Y - TA NX = -20 md = (1/3)Y + 200 - 10i TA = (1/4)Y How much investment (I) will be crowded out if the government increases its purchases by deltaG = 160 and nominal money supply (M) remains unchanged?

Consider the following AD/AS diagram of the macroeconomy, with LRAS shown as the vertical curve, AD as the downward sloping curve, and SRAS as the upward sloping curve. First, place a point at the current equilibrium. Then, suppose the government wants to stimulate the economy to restore it to long-run equilibrium by cutting taxes. Draw a new curve that shows the impact of this policy change. (You'll have to determine which, but draw it so that it reflects a parallel, vertical shift in one of the existing curves. Make sure that it's the same size as the ones shown here using the segment tool.) Finally, place a point at the new equilibrium using the point tool.
subquestions a and b. * for a) - need to find the IS equation, also the LM equation and the equilibrium.
In the AS/AD model, what are the main differences between the neoclassical perspective and the Keynesian perspective?
This is on the basics of the IS-LM model. The model is given by the following system of equations Y = C(Y;Y;r; A) + I(Y;r; K) M/P = Y/V(i) where ri- and A denotes the wealth of the households. The rest of the notations are standard. What happens to the IS curve when the stock of capital increases? Select one or more: a. A movement along the IS curve b. IS shifts to the right c. Nothing d. IS shifts to the left
When an economy dips into a recession, consumers will often be relatively pessimistic about the future for an extended period time. How will this pesimism affect the speed and strength of the recovery?
This question requires you to solve a macro model algebraically. Reading the appendix to this chapter will help you to answer this question. But, just in case, we lead you through it step by step. The equations for the model are as follows: i) C = c + MPC × YD consumption ii) I = I0 investment iii) G = G0 government purchases iv) T = tY net tax revenue v) X = X0 exports vi) IM = mY imports a. Step 1: Recall that Y D = Y – T. By using this fact, substitute the tax function into the consumption function and derive the relationship between desired consumption and national income. b. Step 2: Sum the four components of desired aggregate expenditure ( C, I, G, NX). This is the aggregate expenditure ( AE) function. Collect the autonomous terms separately from the induced terms. c. Step 3: Recall the equilibrium condition, Y = AE. Form the equation Y = AE, where AE is your expression for the AE function from part (b). (Your autonomous terms can be collectively labelled A and the terms that…
