2) Suppose a country begins in full equilibrium in the AS-AD model at point A: LEAS SRAJ * 1 The country has a large agricultural sector this could be a developing country where agriculture still has substantial weight in GDP. The country relies on a large dam for much of the water supply it uses for irrigation. A serious accident damages the dam. The water flow will be substantially curtailed for years. a) Use your diagram to illustrate the effect of the accident on the economy in the long run. Make any assumptions you think are necessary. b) You are a central banker in this country. What are your concerns? Do you worry about YR? About P? If you were to adopt policies to address these concerns, is there a tradeoff in terms of dealing with these two? Illustrate with your figure.

Consider the economy of Canada. Its households spend 55% of increases in their income and saves 45 %. There are no taxes and no foreign trade. Currently, Canada has a recessionary gap, the governments aim is to get actual output to increase by 220 billion dollars. How much of a tax cut do they need to have to achieve the overall increase in output of 220 billion dollars?
The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy.

The government has decided to follow a passive approach to policymaking.

Question 24 Consider a standard AD-AS model. If the marginal propensity to consume is zero, a temporary tax cut leads to a small increase in inflation and a large decrease in unemployment in the short run. Answer True or False. Remember to include your explanation.
With lockdowns currently imposed across Europe and North America until mid-April, even in the best-case scenario it will take at least until mid-June for market confidence to be restored in these economies. The implication is that nearly six million workers in Bangladesh’s formal sector – which is largely manufacturing – will be without steady work for an extended period.” a) Which part of the production function do you think the issue mentioned above will affect? Draw two diagrams to show Real GDP and LRAS is affected in the long run. The government should also consider an unconditional cash transfer program for an initial period of three months at a rate of $95 per month, which corresponds to the minimum wage for the formal sector in Bangladesh. This would cost the government roughly $14 billion, or 4% of GDP. While this sort of cash transfer program always suffers from targeting issues, Bangladesh enjoys a highly sophisticated mobile financial services network, which could…
Suppose the public becomes more concerned about their future so they increase the percentage of their income devoted to savings. Based on the IS-LM model, which curve will shift and why? Predict the effects of this event on income, interest rate, consumption and investment. Income: ________________ Interest Rate: ____________ Consumption: ___________ Investment: ______________

Suppose Mexico, one of our largest trading partners and purchaser of a large quantity of our exports, goes into a recession. Use the AD/AS model to determine the likely impact on our equilibrium GDP and price level.
09. Consider the following model. Expenditure is given by: E=C+I+G The consumption function is specified as: C=co+cY We assume a closed macroeconomic system so that: Y=E Which is the correct representation of income as a function of autonomous expenditures and the marginal propensity to consume?
Given the following closed economy model: C = .8Yd + 800I = 1000 G = 6000 T = .25Y + 100 Yf = 21,000 The size of the government spending multiplier (KDG) is: Round answer to one decimal place.
Now assume you are examining a new economy. You learn that the mpc of this new economy is 0.75 and that the government wants to increase the level of output by $3000.
