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 basic Macroeconomic model involving: Private sector consumption: C = co+c1(Y-T); Y = GDP, T = Taxes Tax function: T = to+t1Y Business sector investment: I = io+i2r, r=interest rate Government spending: G = Go Exports: X = xo+x1x; x = Exchange rate of the dollar Imports: M = mo+m1Y+m2x; x = Exchange rate (a) Identify and explain the parameters: co, t1, i2, and m2. (b) Solve this model for the equilibrium GDP (Y*).
Illustrate an economy with a positive output gap in the IS/LM/PC model and explain the dynamics that will bring the economy back to equilibrium.
Consider the following IS-LM model: C = 201+0.44YD /= 147+0.25Y-1,043/ G= 313 T = 1,2 MIP = 250 0.04 1.9Y-7,558/ The IS equation is determined to be Y=1777.42-3364.521 The LM equation is given as /=0.04 Initial equilibrium values of Y, C, I, and the real money supply are calculated as Y = 1,643 C=814 /=516 M/P = 2,819 A. the real demand for money rises. OB. equilibrium consumption increases. Now suppose that the central bank cuts the interest rate to 2%. In a graph of the IS-LM model, this causes the LM curve to shift downward (Round your response to the nearest integer.) Following the change in the interest rate to 2%, the value of equilibrium real output becomes Following the change in the interest rate to 2%, the values of the new equilibrium C and/are: C = (Round your responses to the nearest integer.) /= (Round your responses to the nearest integer.) Which of the following statements is not consistent with the effects of an expansionary monetary policy? As the interest rate falls,…
Consider a simple macro model with a constant price level and demand determined output. The equations of the model are c=90+0.36y I=155 G=290’T=125 and IM=0.06Y. A national income of 1100 results in desired aggregate expenditure of…
In the first quarter of 2020, US real GDP declined about 9%, due to the economics shocks from the Covid 19 virus. If prices were completely flexible, and this means all prices, both inputs (such as labor), as well as output prices, what would you think would have been the drop in GDP? If prices are completely fixed, would the drop in GDP be greater or less than the flexible case? Why? If the Expenditure method of accounting for GDP, has to equal the Income Side, and the economy overproduces a particular item, say automobiles, the income side will also be higher, workers will buy the extra cars with extra income and the economy can gyrate indefinitely higher? Why or why not?
For the next four questions, assume the economy can be described by the following set of equations: C/Ỹ = 0.4 + 0.8Y (Please note the variable with the coefficient 0.8 is Y tilde. The variable by which C is divided is Y bar, potential output. It is difficult to read the notation.) I/Y = 0.3 – 2(R - F) G/Y = 0.3 C+I+G Y Also assume that F 0.02 and Y 10 %3D This is a complete IS model with a multiplier. You will be given the value of R set by monetary policy in each question. For all questions, enter the answer rounded to 1 decimal place.
"In the classical model, the equilibrium level of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is completely supply-determined." Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Suppose we have the following information for the simple (fixed r, fixed P, fixed W) Keynesian model. C = 400 + 0.8 I = 310 G = 140 = 400 + 0.8 (Y - T) T = 200, where C is the consumption function, (Y - T) is disposable income, I is investment, G is government spending, and T is taxes.
