Suppose that the Phillip's curve and Okun's law are given, respectively, by n=n² - (U-U") and U-U*=--(Y-Y²) where is expected inflation, U" is the natural rate of unemployment, and YP is potential output. Supposing that x =22, U" =4, and y = 24, solve for the aggregate supply curve.

Empirical studies that have examined the longer-term effects of increasing the minimum wage Find more significant long-term effects because new firms are in a better position to choose labor-saving technology than existing firms Have been criticized for failing to control for dynamic shocks to the economy over the long run Conclude that the short-term effect is no different from the long-term effect Find more negative employment effects in the short-term than in the long-term
Using a separate set of AS-AD diagrams for each of the following scenarios, explain what is likely to happen to the output (Y), unemployment, price level, and inflation in the short run, making sure to explain the shifts in any curve: a. U.S. households decide to save more and more than doubles the total savings per year. b. With the news of rapid vaccinations, the consumer and business confidence surges. c. Natural gas is now the most important source of power in the U.S. And, since the advent of fracking, it is also the cheapest. New administration imposes a ban on fracking which increases the prices of not only natural gas, but all carbon fuels. d. The U.S. is currently described as mostly recovered from the pandemic induced recession. Congress and the White House enacts a $2 Trillion “infrastructure” spending.
Based on research conducted by the Department of Economic Analysis, the government and policy advisors of an economy believe that the full employment GDP is $7500 billion, and Pe, the overall expected price level is 118. In addition, the researchers estimate that the short run aggregate supply equation is Y = Ypot + 80 (P - Pe), where Ypot is the potential level of output. In 2016, the population was 400 million, and the structure of the economy was described by the following equations for household consumption behavior and taxes received: C = 100+ 0.8DI, and T = 0.25Y where all monetary values are in billions of dollars. Government spending was fixed at $1700 billion, and firm's investment behavior was fixed at $800 billion. Trading is allowed in this economy and in 2016, trading occurred such that the trade account was balanced. That is, net exports (X - IM) was equal to zero. (Question 1 of 20) What is the equilibrium level of GDP (in billions of dollars) in 2016? (report your…
Assume that the United States economy is currently in a recession in a short-run equilibrium. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the short-run and long-run Phillips curves. Use the letter X to label a point to represent the current state of the economy in recession.
1. Imagine an economy, where the SRAS in terms of inflation is given by II=5+Y, where Y is output. Imagine that the long run AS curve is given by Y=2. (25 marks) a) Give the equation of the AD curve (you can take liberties), if we assume that initially, the economy is at its long-run equilibrium. Justify. b) Imagine that your chosen AD curve's intercept goes up by one unit due to an expansionary monetary policy. What will be the new final equilibrium after this change? Justify. c) What will be the equilibrium after two periods of adjustment? Justify. d) Assume that before all the changes in the economy, in the initial, long-run equilibrium, the interest rate was 4 percent. Give an IS and an LM curve that are compatible with this initial equilibrium. Justify. e) What are the IS and LM curves going to be at the very end of the adjustment process, i.e., in the new long run equilibrium? Justify.
Consider the ASAD model of a closed economy with zero ongoing inflation and workers misperceptions. Firms are perfectly competitive, produce output with diminishing marginal returns to labour and have perfect foresight over the price level. Workers, instead, expect zero inflation in each period. At time zero, the economy is in the potential equilibrium. There is a negative shock on aggregate demand – for example, a permanent fall in desired autonomous consumption at time t = 1. What are the effects of the shock on the equilibrium real wage in the short and in the medium run?
Suppose the current administration decides to increase government expenditures as a means of fighting the COVID-19 crisis. a) Using a graph of aggregate demand and supply, show the effects of such a decision on the economy in the short run. Describe the effects on inflation and output
Which of the following would cause the dynamic DAD curve to shift in (back)? A) a decrease in consumer confidence. B) a decrease in the inflation rate. C) an increase in consumer wealth. D) an increase in the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.
Assume our complete 4-panel model of the economy in equilibrium at Y-full employment. If the Fed buys up government securities from the public, macroeconomists predict which one of the following? Group of answer choices a)In the long run there will be some inflation and aggregate output will eventually return to its full employment level. b)The short run aggregate demand curve shifts to the left and the short run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right. c)In the long run there will be some inflation and aggregate output will be permanently pushed above Y-full employment. d)The short run aggregate demand curve shifts to the right and the short run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right.

In the Keynesian model in the short run (IS-LM Framework), what is likely to happen to employment after each of the following shocks, based on the effective labor demand curve? How about an increase in the money supply?
Within the classical form of the quantity theory, the demand for money is given by Md = kPY. Suppose income (Y) is given at 400 units, and the money supply (M) is fixed at 200 units. Suppose k drops from its initial value of 0.5 to 0.25. What is the initial price level? What is the new price level after the change in k? Explain the process that leads to the change in the aggregate price level.
