Explanation of Solution

Quantity theory of money is called theory of inflation. The equation can be rewritten as

  %ΔM+%ΔV=%ΔP+%ΔY

Inflation is %ΔM+%ΔV%ΔY=%ΔP=π ,

As velocity is zero or constant, then,

  %ΔM%ΔY=%ΔP=π

In short-run, there is no correlation between output and money growth, as increase in money growth rate takes time (time lag) to increase the productivity of an economy.

In long-run, there is a strong correlation between output and money growth. As money supply increases, productivity of output in long-run increases. It has been noted that, countries with high money growth usually have high-inflation rates.

So, inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon is accurate in long-run but not accurate in short-run.

The debt/GDP is always positive during this period, so the Federal Government of the United States incurred in budget deficits every year since 1939. From the mid-40s until the mid-70s, the debt/DGP was decreasing, meaning that the Federal Government of the United States was running a budget surplus every year during those three decades. During the second half of the 1970s, the Federal Government…
An imaginary country estimates that their economy can be approximated by the AD/AS model below. How can this government act to move the equilibrium to potential GDP? LRAS Price Level P Y Real GDP E SRAS AD The AD/AS model shows that a contractionary fiscal policy is suitable, but the choice of increasing taxes, decreasing government expenditure or doing both simultaneously is mostly political The AD/AS model shows that increasing taxes is the best fiscal policy available. The AD/AS model shows that decreasing government expenditure is the best fiscal policy available. The AD/AS model shows that an expansionary fiscal policy capable of shifting the AD curve to the potential GDP level would decrease Real GDP but increase inflationary pressures
