- Consumer spending fell significantly at the start of the pandemic by 13.6%, but increased by 5.6% in June. Economists are predicting that in the next few months consumer spending may be positive but at a much lower rate than 5.6% as additional money for unemployment is no longer available, unemployment remains high, and uncertainty of the future. Consumer spending is closely watched since it is a primary predictor of how quickly the economy will recover from the current recession. How do you expect consumer spending might change over the next few months? Why? How has your spending been changing? Are you expecting to make any big purchases in the near future?arrow_forwardSuppose you are given the following information about an economy: Short run Aggregate Supply: SRAS = Y = 5000r+ 14,400 Long run Aggregate Supply: Aggregate Demand: Investment Spending: Consumption Spending: Government Spending: Net Exports (eX – iM): LRAS = Y* = 25,000 AD = Y=C+I+G+NX_ I = 4000 – 250r C = 1000 +0.75(Y – T) G = 2000 NX = 500 Taxes – Transfers: T = 2400 Monetary Policy: Money Demand: Money Market equilibrium: Fisher equation: where i is the nominal interest rate (i.e. when the interest rate is 7%, it means i= 7) r = 2 n м 3 20,000- 2000i M$ = MD i = r+T e. Find the short run equilibrium level of real GDP (Y), and inflation rate (t), in the short run. What is the output gap in the economy? Is it an expansionary or recessionary gap?arrow_forwardAs you know, supply and demand shifts are caused by one of their determinants. Shifts in aggregate demand (AD) show the effect of events on price level and Real GDP. Any event that causes a change in consumer, business, or government spending or any change in net exports (C+l+G+Xn) will shift AD. Any event that causes a change in production costs or increases productivity will shift aggregate supply (AS). Decide if the following events are Micro, shifting supply or demand, or Macro, shifting AD or AS. Give the direction in which the graph shifts.
