Suppose that the economy has a recessionary gap. Use the Keynesian transmission mechanism to explain fully how the Bank of Canada can use an easy money policy to remove the recessionary gap. Assume a closed economy. Illustrate your answer with graphs. An easy money policy was deemed to be very ineffective by Keynes. Provide three reasons why Keynes felt that an easy money policy may be ineffective.

Apparently, Keynes assumed stable prices regardless of the level of government money creation. Was this naive or simply wrong? Keynes had a great many theories within what he called his general theory which might have been discussed by him un-knowingly after his death. The tradeoff between inflation and unemployment, the so-called "Phillips Curve," by Milton Friedman reduced the need of disposable government spending claiming it was inflationary. Barron's suggests that the collapse of Keynes's theory was due to the global inflation that are so consistently referred to in many of its articles. We really can't say what was Keynes intent and all we can say is that all the above are true. both B and C are correct D
Keynes advocated the use of fiscal and monetary policy to stabilize an economy? When are the effects of these policies most beneficial? Select all that apply. Select one or more: In the short run When the economy is operating at full employment When the economy is operating significantly above full employment When the economy is operating significantly below full employment In the long run
Using appropriate real-life macroeconomic example(s), compare and contrast Keynes' Law and Say's Law as they relate to aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
Suppose policymakers decide to reduce the budget deficit by cutting government spending. Use the Keynesian Cross model to illustrate graphically the impact of a reduction in government purchases on the equilibrium level of income. Be sure to label: (a) the axes, (b) the curves, (c) the initial equilibrium values, (d) the direction the curve shifts, and (e) the final equilibrium values. Explain in words what happens to equilibrium income as a result of the cut in government spending. (100 words max)
In the goods-and-services market actual inventories have started to rise above optimal inventories. What could have happened to autonomous money demand to bring this about? Explain and diagrammatically represent your answer. In doing so, be sure to explain and diagrammatically represent what happens to the rate of interest, investment, and Y. In explaining what happens to Y, be sure to fully explain the equilibrium process in the simple Keynesian model
A friend of yours (who has not taken macroeconomics) has just read that Keynesian theory represented a direct attack on Classical theory. They don't understand either theory and knows you (having just taken macroeconomics) are well-versed in both. They ask you to explain the basic differences between how Keynes and the Classics understood the business cycle and their respective policy prescriptions. Your answer should probably include: a) a basic explanation of what full-employment GDP means and how it relates to the stability condition S=| (or, equivalently, leakages = injections); b) an explanation of why the Classicals believed that any movement away from full-employment GDP would be quickly fixed/reversed; c) an explanation of why Keynes thought the Classicals* "auto-correcting" story was problematic, i.e., a detailed explanation of Keynes' multiplier concept (how did Keynes believe a recession would unfold (step-by-step) and why did he believe it could persist); d) an explanation…
Question 2Explain fully how the AS/AD model is an update of the Keynesian model. Provide a graph of the equilibrium income in the Keynesian model, and compare it with a graph of the equilibrium income in the AS/AD model. Why are negative supply shocks much more harmful to an economy compared with negative demand shocks? Compare the policies which can be used to address negative demand shocks with policies to address negative supply shocks.
In the Keynesian Cross model, an increase in government purchases by one unit would generate an increase in output by less than one unit. True or False
Briefly describe the two conclusions that can be drawn from an overview of Say’s Law with its emphasis on macroeconomic supply and Keynes’ Law with its emphasis on macroeconomic demand.
Consider a Keynesian model where: exports = R10 million the marginal propensity to import out of income = 0,35 autonomous imports = R10 million the tax rate = 0,2 government spending = R25 million investment = R20 million autonomous consumption = R15 million the marginal propensity to consum = 0,75 e The equilibrium level of aggregate spending is:
According to the Keynesian model, which of the following would increase aggregate demand the most? a. Government drops the taxes for private businesses b. Government establishes a new agency financed by the government that helps the unemployed to find a job Increase in interest rates that results in the growth in investments into new equipment to O d. A decrease in government expenditures accompanied by the decrease in taxes e. Government expands its social projects and increases taxes to balance the budget
