Suppose the economy is initially at long run equilibrium, when there is an unexpected decrease in oil prices in the country.How does this impact the economy? (write out either "inflationary" or "recessionary" In response to this what monetary policy would the Fed employ? (write one of the following: "raise taxes", "lower taxes", "raise money supply", or "lower money supply"What is the most likely way the Fed will accomplish this change in the monetary policy? (write one of the following: "buy securities", "sell securities", "raise discount rate", "lower discount rate", or "legislation"This action by the Fed will cause interest rates to _______. (Write out "increase" or "decrease"The end result of the monetary policy is a shift of which curve in which direction. (Write out one of the following: "AD right", "AD left" "AS left", "AS right"
You often read in the newspaper that the Fed has just lowered the discount rate.  Does this signal that the Fed is moving to a more expansionary monetary policy? Why or why not?
In the Bank of England's Monetary Policy report published in February 2023, we can read: “Potential supply growth is estimated to have slowed to around 1.7% over 2010–19, from around 2.7% in the decade leading up to the financial crisis. This was driven by a very marked and sustained fall in productivity growth, much of which the [Monetary Policy Committee] has judged to be structural and therefore reflected in potential productivity. [...] Following the financial crisis, manufacturing productivity growth fell back sharply.” Use a labour market graph (Wage-Setting and Price-Setting) to represent the scenario described in the extract. In the graph, highlight what happens to equilibrium employment, unemployment and real wage and very briefly explain what this means for actual output in the UK economy. (50 words max)
