Which of the following statements is not consistent with an accurate explanation of how and why variation in stock prices affects expectations about future economic conditions. O Almost all recessions are preceded by significant and sustained declines in stock prices. O Significant and sustained increases in stock prices typically induce consumers and businesses to implement upward revisions of their subjective estimates of the probability of a recession occurring in the near future. O Significant and sustained declines in stock prices typically induce consumers and businesses to implement upward revisions of their subjective estimates of the probability of a recession occurring in the near future. O Significant and sustained increases in stock prices typically induces consumers and businesses to implement upward revisions of their subjective estimates of the probability of future economic expansion,

According to this theory of the term structure, bonds of different maturities are not substitutes for one another. Select one: O a. Segmented markets theory O b. Expectations theory O c. Liquidity premium theory O d. Separable markets theory
Question 6 Which of the following characteristics is NOT consistent with an upward-sloping AS curve? O when forecasted future prices increase, the AS curve shifts upward. a rise in the firms' pricing power will lead to a rise in the aggregate price. the AS curve passes through a point that corresponds to the natural level of national income and stable price. O as inflation rises output growth falls
A boom is expected to be short-lived . The most sensible response is usually to: O Reduce the key interest rate O Increase taxes O Do nothing O Increase public consumption
Which of the following are true about the imperfect information model of the upward-sloping short-run aggregate supply curve? (i) It assumes imperfect competition among firms. (ii) Producers presume that the relative price of their goods increase whenever overall prices increase. (iii) It is costly to monitor the prices of all goods, so producers make do by observing chiefly the prices of their own goods. O a. (i), (ii), and (iii) O b. Only (ii) and (iii) O c. Only (i) and (iii) O d. Only (i) and (ii)
Assume that output began at its natural level. By drawing using AD-AS (Upward sloping) and Philips curves (graphs), analyze the short and long-run effects for these solutions. The government decreases the investment tax credit in order to discourage investment-My lecturer said it does not involve the movement of AS. so does it mean Philips curve graph along move along the curve ?
4. Consider a two period model with investment Imagine a preference shock that increases the representative consumer's utility for leisure. Therefore, the consumer chooses to consume more current leisure and less current consumption, and more future leisure and less future consumption. (everything else is equal) given the initial real interest rate r; a) What effect this preference shock has on labor supply curve? b) What effect this preference shock has on labor demand curve? c) What effect this preference shock has on output supply curve?
3. Is the above model consistent with the policy ineffectiveness proposition? How does the policy implication of the model differ from that of the traditional static AD-AS model with exogenous expectations or adaptive expectations? Explain.
Problem 4. This is an exercise about properties of expectations and variances, which we will use extensively in this course. It is closely related to SW Key Concept 2.3. Suppose you only know the following facts of variances and covariances: If X, Y, and Z are any random variables, and a and b are any constants, then I Var (X+Y) Var (aX) Cov (aX, bY) Cov (X+Y,Z) Cov(a, X) = = = = = Var (X) + Var (Y) + 2Cov (X, Y) a²Var (X) abCov (X,Y) Cov (X, Z) + Cov (Y,Z) 0. Also, you know that if X and Y are independent (I will denote that by X LY) then Cov (X, Y) = 0. For calculations below, please provide precise justification for every step / equality in terms of the given information, and avoid intuitive generalizations. (a) Use the above facts to show another related fact: If Z₁ and Z2 are random variables, and C1 and C2 are constants, then Var (c₁Z₁+c₂Z₂) = cVar (Z₁)+cVar (Z₂)+c1c22Cov (Z₁, Z₂). (b) Use any of the above facts to show that if Z₁ and Z₂ are independent, Var (Z₁ + Z2) = Var (Z₁)…
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…
