Show using a graph how the following shocks would affect equilibrium output. (Which parameters in the Keynesian model change? How does that shift the expenditure schedule? What happens to output as a result?) (a) Business confidence increases (b) The stock market declines (c) Credit market conditions become easier (d) The US dollar depreciates relative to the Euro (e) The stock market booms in Canada (Hint: use one picture to show what happens to Canada, then another to show how this affects the US economy)

Economics Question
(1) Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. If there is a sharp increase in the expected price level, what do we expect to happen? Select one: (A) In the short run, the SRAS curve will shift left, real GDP and price will fall. (B) In the short run, SRAS will shift right, real GDP will rise and prices will fall. (C) In the short run, AD will shift left, real GDP and prices will fall. (D) In the short run, LRAS and SRAS will shift left, causing real GDP to fall.
(a) Suppose the price level in an economy rises while the money wage rate remains constant. What happens to the quantity of real GDP supplied. How will this affect the aggregate supply or aggregate demand curve? What if the potential GDP increases? Which aggregate curve is affected and how? (b) Planned Real GDP Consumption Investment $1,000 $100 1,900 100 2,800 100 3,700 100 $1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 Government Purchases Net Exports $150 -$50 150 -50 150 -50 150 -50 From the table data provided, answer the following questions. The numbers in the table are in billions of dollars. Show all calculations. a. What is the equilibrium level of real GDP? b. What is the Marginal Propensity to Consume? c. What is the multiplier value in this economy? d. If potential GDP is $4,000 billion, is the economy at full employment? If not, what is the condition of the economy? e. If the economy is not at full employment, by how much should government spending increase so that the economy can move to the…
1. Which of the following is not an assumption of the simple Keynesian ? (a).We are in the short run (b). Prices are constant (c).Output is demand -determine (d). Output is supply -determine (e). Aggregate output is equals planned expenditure 3. Equilibrium in the market for bank reserves determine. 4. The consumer prices index (CPS) baskets of goods typically consumed in period 2 goods .
3. Graphically illustrate the Keynesian Model, show the equilibrium level of GDP (label it Ye) and the full employment level of GDP (label it Yf).
4. Show and explain the Keynesian and classical aggregate supply curves graphically. How does the Keynesian aggregate supply curve differ from the classical one? Is one of these specifications more appropriate than the other? Explain, being careful to state the time horizon to which your answer applies.
(2) Imagine that you operate an economic forecasting firm. Your stock in trade is that you know the true model of the economy where you work. Assume the following is a description of this economy. Y = C+1+G+ NX. ... C = a + bY. ... 1 = k + gY- hR... G = Go.... NX = n- mY- sR.... ..... (Income identity) (Consumption) .... (Investment) (Government) (Net export) .......... .....*** Y is aggregate real output and R is interest rate. (a)Briefly explain why the investment function is directly related to aggregate real output and inversely related to interest rate. (b)Suppose for this economy the values of the parameters and independent variables are as follows, a = 250, b = 0.55, k = 150, g 0.10, h = 500, Go = 350, n 50, m = 0.05, s 500, R= 5% find the value of aggregate real output Y and the multiplier. %3D %3D %3D %3D %3D %3D %3D %3D (c) Suppose the government financed its budget deficit by borrowing additional 100 from the credit market, by how much will this new spending change the…
5. Suppose an economy is hit by a flood and its natural resources decreases. a) Show graphically using AD-AS model how the price level and output are affected in the short-run. b) Can the government use monetary policy to offset the effects on price level and output, explain?
A number of macroeconomic variables decline during recessions. One of these variables is the GDP. 1. What other variables, besides real GDP, tend to decline during recessions? Given the definition of real GDP and its components, explain the declines in these economic variables which are to be expected. 2. Empirical studies indicate that the long-run trend in real GDP of the USA has an upward trend. How is this possible given business cycles and macroeconomic fluctuations? What factors explain the upward trend in spite of the cycles?
A neoclassical economist and a Keynesian economist are studying the economy of Vineland. It appeals that Vineland is beginning to experience a mild recession with a decrease in aggregate demand. Which of these two economists would likely advocate that the government of Vineland take active measures to reverse this decline in aggregate demand? Why?
If the economy is operating In the Keynesian zone of the SRAS curve and aggregate demand falls, what is likely to happen to real GDP?
