- According to rational expectations economists, as a result of an increase in aggregate demand due to an expansionary monetary policy, real output and employment would not increase because said policy would be offset by higher prices and Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Using the models learned in class, graphically illustrate and explain the impact of the following policy and explain your answer. Suppose the Bank of Canada reduces the money supply by 5%. a. What happens to the aggregate demand curves? b. What happens to the level of output and the price level in the short run and in the long run? c. What happens to the real interested rate in the short run and in the long run?arrow_forwardIn the aftermath of the 2008-2009 financial crisis in the US, the output gap fell by 8% and the inflation rate fell to -2.1% in July 2009. Using the AS-AD model, explain which shock hit the economy and discuss the macroeconomic policies available to policymakers to stabilise the economy. How effective are they to stimulate aggregate demand?arrow_forward
- For each of the following, please explain each step and show it in the graph! c) Assume an economy is at full employment, but then supply falls in the short run. What will happen in the long run if the policymakers do nothing and what will happen in the long run if the policy makers influence aggregate demand with monetary policy to drive back to the natural output?arrow_forwardFor Shock F: Suppose the economy starts in the long run equilibrium. Illustrate changes that the shock will cause in the short run (using AD-SRAS). Explain why each curve shifts. Determine how the price level and output will be affected in the short run. Mark the output gap on the diagram. Is the output gap positive or negative? Is the economy is booming, or is it in a recession? On the same diagram illustrate how the economy will adjust to the shock in the long run and explain the mechanism. Determine how the price level and output will be affected in the long run. F. The central bank decides to raise the money supply; as a result, the interest rate in the economy goes down As a result of this shock, in the short run the (SRAS Curve/AD Curve) will shift? In consequence, in the short run prices and output will? In the short run, there will be a ? (negative/postive) output gap,which means there will be a ? (boom/recession) As time passes, because of high unemployment the…arrow_forwardConsider an economic shock that results in a decrease in aggregate demand for the economy, creating an output gap where GDP is lower than potential.In the short run, what is the expected changes to firm production levels, the price level in the economy, and the unemployment rate?2. In the medium run, what happens to capacity utilization? How do changes to capacity and unemployment cause pressure for lower inflation? What is the expected response from the Federal Reserve? 3. In the long run, what is the expected outcome for GDP, unemployment, and inflation if monetary policy is successful?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements are INCORRECT? "When faced with income shocks, household may not be able to smooth their consumption due to credit market exclusion that hinders their ability to borrow." "Any estimate of potential output will have shortcomings, and for this reason, policy makers do not use output gap to make policy decisions." "In the case of a negative aggregate demand shock that brings output below potential, there is no need of central bank intervention as there is no inflationary pressure in the economy." "When the economy is at its potential output, actual unemployment is equal to equilibrium unemployment"arrow_forwardExpected inflation is 1.5%. The economy is initially in macroeconomic equilibrium with a real interest rate of 3% and an output gap of 0%. That is, the economy is operating at its potential. Using the Fed model linking the IS-MP framework with the Phillips curve, draw a graph showing the effect of the following shock: A severe recession impacts most of Western Europe, where several of the US most important trade partners are located. Your graph should clearly indicate the conditions both before and after the shock.arrow_forwardQuestion 7. Suppose there is an exogenous increase in the price of oil in an economy. a. Use the aggregate demand and supply model to illustrate and examine the impact of the oil-price increase on output, employment and the price level in both the short run and the long run. b. If the Bank of Canada cares about keeping output and employment at their natural-rate levels, what is the policy response of the Bank of Canada? What is the impact of policy response on the price level? Use the aggregate demand and supply model to explain your answer. Please illustrate the answers using figures with aggregate demand and supply curves. Please also briefly explain the answers in words.arrow_forward
- Assume our complete 4-panel model of the economy in equilibrium at Y-full employment. If the Fed buys up government securities from the public, macroeconomists predict which one of the following? Group of answer choices a)In the long run there will be some inflation and aggregate output will eventually return to its full employment level. b)The short run aggregate demand curve shifts to the left and the short run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right. c)In the long run there will be some inflation and aggregate output will be permanently pushed above Y-full employment. d)The short run aggregate demand curve shifts to the right and the short run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right.arrow_forwardIllustrate graphically what would happen in the short run and in the long run to the price level and Real GDP if individuals hold rational expectations, prices and wages are flexible, and individuals overestimate the rise in aggregate demand (bias upward).arrow_forwardIf the economy starts at point C and experiences an adverse supply shock, then the LONG-run consequence of that shock will move the economy from a to D to A b. C to D to C c. to B to A d. none of the abovearrow_forward
