QUESTION 26 If workers expect a lower rate of inflation, the short-run Phillips curve will: a. shift up. b. remain constant, but there will be a movement down the curve. c. shift down. d. be unaffected.arrow_forwardBrent, the international oil marker, hit US$130 a barrel on 8th March 2022. The oil price is close to 90 per cent above their level at the same point in time last year. Suppose that the rise in oil price is permanent. It creates an inflation shock and, at the same time, reduces potential output. With the aid of AD-AS model, show the difference in the effects of the oil price increase on output and the inflation rate in the long run if the government does not engage in stabilization policy and if the government does engage in stabilization policy to keep the inflation level low. Please elaborate your answer verbally.arrow_forwardConsider the classical AS-AD model with misperceptions. Assume that the economy is initially at its general equilibrium.

- 1. Imagine an economy, where the SRAS in terms of inflation is given by II=5+Y, where Y is output. Imagine that the long run AS curve is given by Y=2. (25 marks) a) Give the equation of the AD curve (you can take liberties), if we assume that initially, the economy is at its long-run equilibrium. Justify. b) Imagine that your chosen AD curve's intercept goes up by one unit due to an expansionary monetary policy. What will be the new final equilibrium after this change? Justify. c) What will be the equilibrium after two periods of adjustment? Justify. d) Assume that before all the changes in the economy, in the initial, long-run equilibrium, the interest rate was 4 percent. Give an IS and an LM curve that are compatible with this initial equilibrium. Justify. e) What are the IS and LM curves going to be at the very end of the adjustment process, i.e., in the new long run equilibrium? Justify.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would cause the dynamic DAD curve to shift in (back)? A) a decrease in consumer confidence. B) a decrease in the inflation rate.

- We have discussed two models that describe the relationship between inflation and economicgrowth. Which of the following is a property of the New Keynesian Model but NOT the RealBusiness Cycle (RBC) Model?a.Monetary policy has no effect on long run economic growth b.Recessions can be caused by a fall in aggregate demand. c.Prices are fully flexible in both the short and long run. d.All the above are properties of the RBC model. e.None of the above are properties of the New Keynesian model.arrow_forwardAssume 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་arrow_forwardPrice Level LRAS I о, он ог Real GDP SRAS, SRAS SRAS₂ ON=Natural Real GDP AD Refer to Figure 9-3.
