Consider a standard AD-AS model. Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored'). In this case, a permanently higher inflation target leads to a short-run increase in output but no long-run increase in output. Answer True or False. Remember to include your explanation.

Consider the AS/AD model. The AS curve is: Ỹ, = a – bm(r, – T) and the AD curve is: T; = T;-1 + UY, +ō. t where t is inflation and Y is short-run output. The subscript t indexes time. ū = 0.01, ō = 0.02, ā = 0.04, b = 0.05, and m = 0.04 are fixed strictly positive parameters. Assume the inflation target T is 0.02 (or 2%). Calculate T at the steady state. (If you answer is 3%, do not put the percentage sign enter 3 or 0.03).
Explain the role of expectations in the macroeconomy.
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.
Illustrate 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).
Use the data in the following table to calculate the refinancing rate (i) using the Taylor rule, and fill in the last cell in table. Variable Value Equilibrium real refinancing rate (r*) 2% Four-quarter average inflation (1) Inflation target („T) 2% 1% Output (Y) 11.5 Potential output (Y*) 12 Weight on the output gap (w1) 0.5 Weight on the inflation gap (w2) 0.5 Refinancing rate (i) Suppose that the equilibrium real refinancing rate (r*) is 1% instead of 2%. Based on the Taylor rule and assuming everything else remains the same, how would this change the refinancing rate (i) you calculated in the previous question? The central bank should set the refinancing rate at 1.42%. The central bank should set the refinancing rate at -0.58%. For every percentage point lower the equilibrium real refinancing rate goes, the nominal refinancing rate should be 1 percentage point higher. Suppose the inflation rate over the last four quarters has been 3% instead of 2%. Assuming everything else is the…
Suppose to get re-elected, an incumbent government wants to continuously expand the economy so that people will associate high economic growth with the current government. Explain what will happen to the economy in the long run using the AD-AS model and the Phillips curve model, with properly labelled diagrams. Thanks.
Assume an economy that starts with Y = Y₂. Illustrate graphically and explain the impact of a fall in energy prices in the IS-LM-PC model with anchored expectations. Illustrate graphically, explain, and discuss the impact of the fall in energy prices depending on whether the central bank, firms, or workers have the power to adjust the economy to keep inflation at its target rate after the fall in energy prices. ་པཕབ་པ་
Explain why a supply shocks is most of the time believed to be temporary? And does not result in government requiring to do any special policy to rectify the problem.

Complete the following table to compare the results of an unanticipated expansionary policy to those of an anticipated expansionary policy in the short run and long run. Determine whether, in the short run, the level of output increases, decreases, or remains unchanged relative to the potential output level when the expansionary policy is anticipated versus unanticipated. Additionally, determine whether, in the long run, the actual price level is above, below, or the same as initial expectations under both scenarios, and, again, determine whether the level of output increases, decreases, or remains unchanged. Anticipated Expansionary Policy Unanticipated Expansionary Policy Short-Run Change in Output Decrease/Increase* Decrease/Increase/No Change* Long-Run Change in Price Level Same as Initial expectation/Higher then initial expectations/ lower then initial expectations* (same options as box on the left) ** Long-Run Change in Output Decrease/Increase/No change*…
In a certain economy, the Dynamic Aggregate Supply (DAS) line is represented by the function = - π₁ = Ę ₁ = ₁ π + α ( Y₁ − Ÿ) + D and the inflation expectations formation mechanism is adaptive, that is, E₁+1 Absent a supply shock (v₁ = 0), in a figure representing period t inflation rate, π, on the vertical axis, and period t output, Y₁, on the horizontal axis, the period t DAS line will pass through the pair of points, : OA.

How do new Keynesian ideas about price setting and inflation expectations affect the short-run aggregate supply curve? Explain.
