4. Using fiscal policy to fight inflationConsider the hypothetical economy depicted on the graph. Initially, the economy operates below full-employment output at a price level of 105 andreal GDP of $480 billion. Then aggregate demand (AD) increases from AD₁ to AD2₂, moving the economy up along the intermediate and classicalranges of the aggregate supply (AS) curve. Real GDP increases to the full-employment output level of $540 billion, and the price level increases to120.PRICE LEVEL (CPI)130125120 ▬ ▬ ▬11511010510095908580400 420440AS460 480 500 520 540REAL GDP (Billions of dollars)AD₂AD560 580 600?)

a) Draw an aggregate demand/aggregate supply graph of an economy in a Recessionary situation. b) show clearly the GDP gap on your graph. c) examine the impact of the fiscal policy described above on the relevant components of AD and SRAS( if applicable). Account for the role of the autonomous spending multiplier.
Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.8 and taxes do not vary with income (that is, taxes are fixed rather than variable and the income tax rate = 0). The following graph shows the aggregate demand curves (AD and AD₂), the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve, and the long-run aggregate supply curve at the potential GDP level. The economy is currently at point A.

In an effort to increase output in the short run due to the poor economy, government officials have decided to cut taxes. They are considering two possible temporary tax cuts of equal size in terms of lost revenue. The first would reduce the taxes on people with incomes above $100,000 per year. The second would cut taxes on people with incomes below $60,000 for one year. Which change would have a greater impact on aggregate spending (i.e shift the aggregate demand curve further to the right)? Why?

Consider an economy located near the Indian Ocean where the main industries are agriculture and tourism. Policymakers and economic advisors have determined that consumers' spending behavior is described by the equation: C = 255 + 0.75DI while the domestic investment spending behavior by firms is fixed at $250 billion. Currently, the population is 250 million, the labor force participation rate is 68 percent, and the unemployment rate is 4 percent. The policymakers and economic advisors have also determined that the short run aggregate supply of goods and services in the economy is described by the equation Y = Ypot + 75(P - Pe), while the potential level of real GDP is $2075 billion and the expected price level at full employment, Pe, is 115. Net taxes is described by the equation: T = 120 + 0.2Y while the government spending is fixed at $500 billion. Trading occurs mostly with neighboring economies and currently total imports is $300 billion while total exports is $200 billion.…
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. 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 15 of 20) Now consider that in in the following year (2017), the government decided to implement a policy aimed at moving the economy to full employment. In its decision to move the economy to full employment, they used government spending as the policy tool. The structure and fixed spending behaviors remain the same as they were in 2016, except for government spending. In addition, changes…
The recent economic recession was brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic brought along mitigation efforts such as stay-at home/shelter in place orders, cancelling of large gathering, social distancing, etc,.
