Aggregate Supply:  Explain whether the economy is currently operating in the Keynesian, intermediate or neoclassical portion of the economy's aggregate curve. Also, point out a time when the economy may have been operating at another portion of the aggregate supply curve.

Which characteristics are associated with the Keynesian theory? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Flexible prices Long-run view Long-run aggregate supply primarily affects economic growth (real GDP) Short run view Aggregate demand primarily affects economic growth (real GDP) Inflexible prices

Legislation proposes that the government should use macroeconomic policy to achieve an unemployment rate of zero percent, by increasing aggregate demand for as much and as long as necessary to accomplish this goal. From a neoclassical perspective, how will this policy affect output and the price level in the short run and in the long run? Sketch an aggregate demand/aggregate supply diagram to illustrate your answer.

On the graph, label your starting AD line as AD 2019.  Draw a new AD line showing the change to AD due to the pandemic. Label your starting SRAS line as SRAS 2019.  Draw a new SRAS line showing the change to supply due to the pandemic.Label the new short-run equilibrium RGDP and Price Level.   Does output (i.e. RGDP) increase or decrease in your model? Does the price level increase or decrease in your model? According to the AD-AS model when RGDP falls the unemployment rises and vice versa.  Does your graph indicate an increase or decrease in the unemployment rate

Explain what is meant by ‘macroeconomics’ and why some economists think that it is different to standard neoclassical economics. explain with graphs please.

In Spring 2020, the U.S. economy once again found itself in an economic crisis, this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Which approach did the U.S. government follow in regards to the economy—Keynesian or Neoclassical?  Explain.

Compare and contrast the classical and Keynesian views of aggregate demand and aggregate supply.

You're a staffer working for Senator Joe King, a diehard opponent of minimum wages. The Senator wants to persuade other members of Congress to oppose a new proposal to raise the minimum wage. He needs you to calculate the cost to society of a $17 minimum wage according to the neoclassical model of labor markets. Suppose the market for labor has the equations LD= 172 - 4W LS= -30 + 23W where W is the wage and L is the number of workers. Give your answer in dollars, rounded to the nearest integer.

Compare and critically evaluate the position of the neoclassical and Keynesian economics regarding the proposals that the government budget should be balanced each year (i.e. no budget deficits).

Neoclassical economics does NOT argue _______ Question 1 options: GDP is determined by supply factors such as resources and technology, not aggregate demand government regulation is generally good for the overall economy the market system has the self-adjusting mechanism that fixes unemployment and recession in the long run as long as wages, prices, and interest rates are flexible raising minimum wage generally creates unemployment
