The government possesses the tools necessary to influence the output level in the short run through use of monetary and fiscal policy. However, there is some debate regarding whether the government should attempt to stabilize the economy. Which of the following statements regarding the debate over stabilization policy are correct? Check all that apply. Opponents of active stabilization policy believe that significant time lags in both fiscal and monetary policy often exacerbate economic fluctuations. Advocates of active stabilization policy believe that the government can adjust monetary and fiscal policy to counteract waves of excessive optimism and pessimism among consumers and businesses. Advocates of active stabilization believe that implementation lags for fiscal and monetary policy do not exist. Advocates of active stabilization believe that automatic stabilizers have no effect on aggregate demand.

Explain the interaction of monetary policy and fiscal policy at full employment
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 17 of 20) Now consider that in in the following year (2017), the government decided to implement a…
For each of the following situations, describe how (if at all) the IS, MP, and AD curves are affected. A decrease in financial frictions An increase in taxes and an autonomous easing of monetary policy An increase in the current inflation rate A decrease in autonomous consumption Firms become more optimistic about the future of the economy. The new Bank of Canada governor begins to care more about fighting inflation.
(a) Using a basic Keynesian income determination model, describe the effects of the following changes, assuming that money demand is infinitely elastic: (i) an increase in government expenditure (ii) an increase in the marginal propensity to save (iii) a decrease in export demand (iv) an increase in the marginal propensity to import (v) a cut in the official rate of interest by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England Illustrate your answers with diagrams.
Long-run economic growth can be achieved with Group of answer choices A rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve. A rightward shift in the long-run aggregate supply curve. Neutral monetary policy. Contractionary fiscal policy.
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.
Consider the following quote by Ed Prescott: “The policy implication of [my] research is that costly efforts at stabilization are likely to be counterproductive.” Provide a brief justification of Prescott’s view based on the results of the Real Business Cycle Theory studied in class.
Which of the following is true the dynamic AS-AD model? The dynamic aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because the central bank follows the Taylor principle. An increase in the natural level of output increases the long-run inflation rate. To control inflation, the central bank should increase the nominal interest rate by less than one for one in response to an increase in the inflation rate. The monetary policy rule determines the slope of the dynamic aggregate supply curve.
Please note that this is a multi part quesition; thank you so much for your time and effort it means so much to me! Figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model (Image normally goes here) Part 1: Why does Hayek’s aggregate supply curve always lead to an equilibrium level of national output equal to the full-employment level of real GDP? Part2: Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek’s idea that governments cannot increase real GDP beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce? Part 3: Do you believe that the Hayek’s classical AD-AS model explain the factors that cause changes (shifts) in AS realistically? Why or why not?
You are hired by the Bureau of Economic Analogies (BEA) as an economic consultant. The chairperson of the BEA tells you that he believes the current unemployment rate is too high. The unemployment rate can be reduced if aggregate output increases. He wants to know what policy to pursue to increase aggregate output by $700 billion. The best estimate he has for the MPC is 0.8. Which of the following policies should you recommend? Select one: a. increase government spending by $700 billion and taxes by $600 billion b. reduce government spending by $350 billion and reduce taxes by $250 billion c. increase government spending by $350 billion and reduce taxes by $700 billion d. increase both government spending and taxes by $700 billion
Consumption, investment, government spending, exports, and imports are: Group of answer choices all complementary elements of a market-orientated economy. some of the opposing elements found in a market-orientated economy. all components of aggregate demand. some of the building blocks of Keynesian analysis.
Assume that the current unemployment rate in Country A is lower than the natural rate of unemployment. Draw a single correctly labeled graph with both the long-run Phillips curve and the short-run Phillips curve. Label the current short-run equilibrium point Z. Identify a specific fiscal policy action that would bring the economy to full employment. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market, and show the effect of the fiscal policy from part (b) on the real interest rate in the short run. Now assume instead that there is no fiscal policy action. Will the short-run Phillips curve shift to the right, shift to the left, or remain the same over time? Explain.
