Pls help with below homwork. Explain and illustrate graphically the possible fiscal and monetary policy responses to a demand shock in the Keynesian model. What are the limitations of fiscal and monetary policy in the Keynesian model when a demand shock disturbs the economy?
There is currently a political and academic controversy whether or not stimulus packagesagainst the Covid-induced economic recession will cause inflation. Professor OlivierBlanchard has warned that the stimulus package of the US-administration may lead toinflation in the US. However, he does not see inflation dangers emanating from stimulusprograms in the Eurozone. The Next Generation EU program is not only considered to be a stimulus program but also tobe a growth program, which by spending on infrastructure and climate-related investmentsis expected to lead to an increase in potential output.Analyze in an AD-AS model the impact of economic growth on actual GDP and the pricelevel. Also elaborate on the role that an additional demand stimulus could play.
Illustrate each of the following situations with a graphshowing AS and AD curves, and explain what happensto the equilibrium values of the price level and aggregateoutput:a. A decrease in G with the money supply held constant bythe Fedb. A decrease in the price of oil with no change ingovernment spendingc. An increase in Z with no change in governmentspendingd. An increase in the price of oil and a decrease in G
On June 5, 2003, the European Central Bank acted to decreasethe short-term interest rate in Europe by half a percentagepoint, to 2 percent. The bank’s president at the time, WillemDuisenberg, suggested that, in the future, the bank could reducerates further. The rate cut was made because European coun-tries were growing very slowly or were in recession. What effectdid the bank hope the action would have on the economy? Bespecific. What was the hoped-for result on C, I, and Y?
What is the key difference between the IS-MP-PC model and the AD/AS model?

Using the macro model we learned in this class (MP-IS and AD-AS framework) consider the current crisis. Consider the monetary policy responses to the covid pandemic crisis. Develop separate analysis for an economy which have positive policy rates vs an economy which is at the zero lower bound. Would it require different monetary policies? If so how? What would you expect to happen to the inflation rate, unemployment rate, and economic growth in the near future? Use graphs for each case.
Comparing ModelsWhat are the differences between our Keynesian Cross and the Macro Equilibrium (AS and AD) diagram? Which model has more to offer?
COURSE: MACROECONOMICS - IS-LM MODEL Analyze and plot IN DETAIL the effect on the money market caused by an increase in the sensitivity of money demand to the level of income (i.e. "k*Y" in the equation of the money Market L = k*Y - h*i). Then, explain and plot how the equilibrium changes in the IS-LM model.
In the basic New Keynesian model, suppose that there is an increase in government spending. • First, suppose that the central bank does nothing (accommodates the shock). Illustrate onthe graphs and explain what will be the effects on inflation and output? • Second, suppose that economy initially has inflation equal to the central bank’s inflationtarget and an output gap of zero. What action do you expect the central bank wouldundertake? Illustrate you answer on the graph and explain. PLEASE SHOW ALL HAND WRITTEN STEPS AND WORK!
Suppose Congress decides to reduce the budget deficit by cutting government spending. a. Use the Keynesian-cross model to illustrate graphically the impact of a reduction ingovernment purchases on the equilibrium level of income. Be sure to label: i) the axes;ii) the curves; iii) the initial equilibrium values; iv) the direction the curve shifts; andv) the terminal equilibrium values. b. Explain what happens to equilibrium income as a result of the cut in governmentspending.
Consider a one-period economy which experiences the destruction of some of the nation’s capital stock (say through a hurricane is de- stroyed). How should this effect equilibrium, consumption, output and labor supply? Now, let’s say the government tries to offset some of the declines in capital on output and hours worked by increasing govern- ment spending. What is the likely outcome of this policy intervention in terms of consumption? In our model, the affects of changes on wages are ambiguous because the income and substitution effects move in opposite directions. How do (many) macroeconomists deal with this ambiguity in terms of study- ing business cycle? How do economists resolve this ambiguity when studying long term economic development? Consider an economy with a straight line PPF. Show how an increase in government spending paid for by an increase in lump sum labor taxes affects outcomes. Do the same for an increase in government spending financed by a proportional income…
