Describe what will happen to the interest rate and output with the implementation of following policies.(Use AD/AS model and use graph) Expantionary fiscal policy Contractionary monetary policy
Keynes argued that the surest way to bring the economy out of the Great Depression was to rely on expansionary monetary policy. use expansionary fiscal policy. impose wage controls to prevent drastic decreases in disposable income. Oleave the economy alone and flexible wages and prices would eventually lead to increases in income and employment.
To affect the level of potential output, the monetary policy and fiscal policy must Question 1 options: alter short-run aggregate supply. alter short run aggregate demand. affect investment that accelerates capital accumulation. none of the above.
There are the three reasons why aggregate demand is downward slope: real wealth effect, interest rate effect, exchange rate effect. In a case scenario the market saw an increase in consumer spending when there is a boom in economy. Or the economic crisis makes the public bit shy to buy or consume any product. In the above two situations: the transfer payment does not make the part of government spending as the public will spend the money given as self-security and unemployment. Export situation gets worse as the foreigners are reluctant to buy expensive goods and the government will make some imports. The borrowing has become easy and loans are issued at a cheaper rate to buy car. Following the equation: Y = C + I + G + NX will the below examples increase or decrease the aggregate demand in Pakistan? What will be the shift in position for below situations? An increase in transfer payment A decrease in real interest rate in Pakistan
What are causes and effects of low policy rates
In the AD/AS model, a short-run inflationary boom can occur which returns to full employment in the long run because Select one: a. the inflation reduces profitability and output in the short run, but costs eventually fall and output is restored in the long run. b. the boom pushes up prices and salaries in the short run, reducing output, but companies attempt to restore profitability in the long run by pushing prices and salaries back down, which brings output back to full employment. c. aggregate supply is reduced in the short run, along with profit and output, but aggregate demand increases in the long run, along with profit and output, to bring the economy back to full employment. d. it takes a while for costs to catch up to inflation, so inflation boosts revenue, profit, and output in the short run, but the later-rising costs return profit and output to normal in the long run.
Suppose that a given economy, in which the level of production (Y) is not at the natural level (Yn), an economy in which Y#Yn. 1) Using the AS/AD model, give an explanation of what will happen in the future and suggest a fiscal and/or a monetary policy to adjust the output and further analyse the effect of the suggested policy on employment and price level. 2) Illustrate your answer in part 1) by presenting and analysing data from the UK by identifying two occasions since 1950 (each covering a span of 2-5 years), where such an adjustment process occurred.

We often use the SRAS/AD model to describe which of the following? short run economic fluctuations long run economic trends the effect of changes in the money supply on the interest rate the trade balance
Question Consider that the Ghanaian economy is a small and close, which is characterised by the following. AD=C+I+G+NX C=a+bY* Y*=disposal income T=T0 I=I0 G=G0 Md/P=Ld(Y,i) Ms=money supply ,which is given . AD=Aggregate demand ,C=consumption,G=Government expenditure ,T=Tax,P= Pricelevel,I=Investment,NX=Netexports (a) Consider an increase in Government spending ∆ > .Assume for now that both price and expected price are fixed. Also assume that government does not implement any other policy than the increase in Government spending. What is the effect of this policy on the goods market? (b) What is the effect on equilibrium in the money market? Present your answer in swells labelled diagram, showing both money supply and demand before the policy was implemented, and that after the policy was implemented in the same graph. (c) Solve for equilibrium in the goods market. d) Suppose the policy change is rather a increase in real money supply not a decrease in government spending.What…
let's consider the AS/AD model. furthermore, assume two events happen at the same time: government conducts contractionary fiscal policy and the global price of energy (oil) falls. show the effects of these two events in a graph and explain what will happen to the GDP and price level?
How does an expansion of the money supply affect the aggregate-demand curve? How does your answer differ if we consider a closed economy versus an open economy?
