The following set of equations describe an economy: C = 14,400+ 0.5 (YT) - 40,000r lp = 8,000 - 20,000r G = 7,800 NX = 1,800 T = 8,000 Y* = 40,000 Suppose that the real interest rate (r) is 10%. Is the economy in long run equilibrium? If not, what real interest rate should central bank set to restore the economy back to the long run equilibrium? And what methods can central bank use to adjust the interest rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)

In this question, we assume Canada is a closed economy and is in its long-run equilibrium. TransCanada announced that they will not proceed with the East Energy pipeline in October 2017. According to the long-run classical model, what happens to the equilibrium levels of output, real interest rate, and investment in Canada after TransCanada made this announcement? What happens to the real wage in Canada? Explain your answer with the aid of TWOdiagrams - one for the loanable funds market and one for the labour market.
Consider a fictional economy that is operating at its long-run equilibrium. The following graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) curve and short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve for the economy. The long-run aggregate supply curve is represented by a vertical line at the potential GDP level of $6 trillion. The economy is initially producing at potential GDP. Suppose that fiscal authorities decide to decrease marginal tax rates. Assume that this change in marginal tax rates is perceived as a long-term change. Shift the appropriate curves to illustrate the supply-side view of the fiscal policy effect on output and the price level. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. 120 Potential GDP AS 100 PRICE LEVEL 60 80 60 40 40 20 20 0 0 2 4 6 8 AD 10 12 QUANTITY OF OUTPUT (Trillions of dollars) AD 1 AS Potential GDP True or…
Consider an economy that is characterized by the following equations: C = 150 + 0.65(Y - T) – 200r (Consumption) (Тахation) (Investment Demand) (Government Expenditure) (Exports) (Imports) T = 100 + 0.2Y I = 200 G = 500 - 200r X = 100 IM = 150 + 0.1(Y – T) – 100r (Money Demand) (Money Supply) L = -25 + 0.5Y - 500r M = 133,200 pSR = 120 (Short-Run Price Level) Answer each of the following questions. In your answers, be sure to state any assumptions that you impose and provide an explanation. Derive the AD and SRAS curves. Solve for the short-run equilibrium in the AD-SRAS model. Is your solution the same as in part 3 above? Why or why not? Is the fiscal multiplier in this economy larger or smaller than if the asset market were not accounted for in the model? Briefly explain. True or false? The aggregate demand curve is downward-sloping because the demand for goods and services increases as the price decreases. Briefly explain.
How will planned investment spending change as the following events occur? a) The interest rate falls as a result of Federal Reserve policy. b) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decrees that corporation must upgrade or replace their machinery in order to reduce their emissions of sulfur dioxide. c) Baby boomers begin to retire in large number and reduce their savings, resulting in higher interest rates. Thank you very much for your help.
Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function is C = co+c₁(Y-T), where the marginal propensity to consume c₁ is equal to 0.8. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = Pº, where Pe is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal. Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $200. For the following questions, if you think a variable goes up by (say) $50, just enter 50 as your answer. If you think a variable goes down by $50, enter -50 as your answer. If you think a variable doesn't change at all, enter 0 as your answer. 10. By how much will output Y change in the short run? 11. By how much will consumption C change in the short run? 12. By how much will investment I change in the short run? 13. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage…
Consider the following short-run, closed economy model of the economy. Goods Market C = 50 + 0.5(Y – T) I = 150 – 10r ; NX = -200 G = 150 ; T = 100 Money Market M = 20,000 P = 100 L(Y, r) = Y – 50r 1. Find the equilibrium values of r and y. *** This has been answered*** Goods Market = 600 - 20r Money Market = 200 + 50r equilibrium value of r = 5.71; Y = 485.8 2. At the equilibrium in part 1, what is the value of national savings (S = Y – C – G)? Investment? Show the results using a graph for the market of loanable funds. Is that market in equilibrium? Explain.
Long Question 2 of 2: given by - Consider the short run model of Chapter 13. The IS curve is Ỹ, = ā – b(R, –7) (7) where Y, is the short run output, R, is the real interest rate, ř is the long-run interest rate (or the marginal product of capital). The term ā is the aggregate demand parameter. Also, b captures how responsive investment is to changes in the real interest rate. Moreover, the Phillips curve is given by The = Tt-1 + vY; + ō (8) The term v captures changes in inflation as a response to changes in the current economic conditions, and ō captures shocks in the supply side of the economy. The monetary authority in this economy wishes to keep inflation at a certain "target" level ī. Whenever there is discrepancy between current inflation and target inflation, the central bank responds by changing the interest rate according to the rule Rt -ř = m(T; – ñī) (9) where m is a positive parameter (i.e., ñ > 0) that captures how aggressive the monetary policy is. 1 1 of 5) Derive the…
The U.S. economy is initially in short-run macro-equilibrium. Assume that the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates. As a result, we observe the following in our economy: Question 29 options: a) Both the price level and real GDP increase. b) Both the price level and real GDP decrease c) The price level increases and real GDP falls d) The price level falls and real GDP increases
Suppose the U.S. economy is initially (year 2020) in both short-run and long-run equilibrium and it is described by following functions: AD function: Y=12-P SRAS function: Y=YN+P-Pe where the expected price is Pe=2 and the natural rate of output is YN=10. Then, an expansion in AD occurs in year 2021 such that the new AD function is: Y=14-P Compute the Real GDP growth rate from 2020 to 2021 if the economy is now in short-run equilibrium only.
