7. Use of discretionary policy to stabilize the economy Should the government use monetary and fiscal policy in an effort to stabilize the economy? The following questions address the issue of how monetary and fiscal policies affect the economy, and the pros and cons of using these tools to combat economic fluctuations. The following graph shows a hypothetical aggregate demand curve (AD), short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for the U.S. economy in May 2023. A-Z Suppose the government decides to intervene to bring the economy back to the natural level of output by using policy. Depending on which curve is affected by the government policy, shift either the AS curve or the AD curve to reflect the change that would successfully restore the natural level of output.

Question 76  During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $400,000 per year and raising corporate taxes from about 21 percent to 28 percent. Consider the aggregate demand-aggregate supply diagram below, which represents the macroeconomy. Suppose the market is initially at an equilibrium at point A. What effect will a tax increase have on this graph? Question 76 options: 1.The long-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left. 2.The aggregate demand curve will shift to the right. 3.The aggregate demand curve will shift to the left. 4.The short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left.   Question 77  During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $400,000 per year and raising corporate taxes from about 21 percent to 28 percent. Consider the market for money illustrated in the figure below. Assume the market initially is in equilibrium at point A. What effect will the tax increase…

QUESTION 5 05. The "crowding-out secondary effect expansionary macroeconomic policy     a) For fiscal policy it is about government borrowing to finance the government budget deficit, associated with expansionary fiscal policy. This increased government borrowing tends to increase the market rate of interest, which dampens investment spending.     b) For monetary policy it is about the expansion of the economy increasing the demand for money to service the increased volume of transactions. This tends to increase the market rate of interest, which dampens investment spending.     c) Decreases the autonomous spending multiplier and thus the impact of expansionary policy.     d) All of the above.
