Choose one of the following scenarios and identify whether it is an example of a recessionary economy or inflationary economy. Next, analyze possible Neoclassical solutions for it. Then, analyze possible Keynesian solutions for it. What would the impact on the economy be in the short-run? Long-run?

 

Scenario 1:

An increase in the unemployment rate to 7.4% has occurred. Inflation has increased causing a decline in consumer spending. Exports have declined by more than $4 billion. This has caused a decrease in GDP by 3.7%.

 

Scenario 2:

An increase in consumer and government spending has occurred. This has increased GDP by 4.4%. Currently, inflation rate has increased to 1.6%. Unemployment has remained at 5.5%.

 

Scenario 3:

An increase in the stock market by 26.5% has occurred. Companies are stockpiling the earnings rather than investing them. Unemployment is at 7%, which has impacted consumer demand. GDP has declined by 0.29%.

 

Scenario 4:
