The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many countries to partially shutdown their economies to prevent the spread of the virus. In response, many governments including Jamaica have embarked on expansionary fiscal policy. Government Fiscal and Monetary Policy can coordinate to achieve specific economic goals. (a) Use a carefully labeled diagram consisting of an IS curve and the LM curve to illustrate the effect of an expansionary fiscal policy. Assume the Bank of Jamaica want to hold the money supply constant. Please explain your answer. (b) Use a carefully labeled diagram consisting of an IS curve and the LM curve to illustrate the effect of an expansionary fiscal policy. Assume instead, the Bank of Jamaica want to hold interest rate constant. Please explain your answer. (c) Use a carefully labeled diagram consisting of an IS curve and the LM curve to illustrate the effect of an expansionary fiscal policy. Assume the Government wants to hold output constant. Please explain your answer.

Data is provided below for a small closed economy. Output/Income = 10,000 Consumption = 600 + 0.75(Y - T) Investment = 400 Taxes = 2,000 Government expenditure = 2,000 Assuming that fiscal policy has a multiplier effect and that investment and taxes remain unchanged, what will happen to output if government expenditure decreased by 500? Select one: It would increase by 500 It would decrease by 667 It would decrease by 500 It would increase by 2,000 It would decrease by 2,000 It would increase by 667
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that a long strike by coal miners reduces the coal supply and increases the price of coal. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose our government wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the government intervene? If so, show the impact of successful fiscal policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
The Thai economy is at its potential level. Illustrate and explain the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Thailand using the IS-LM-PC model. Besides the Bank of Thailand reduced its policy rate, the Thai government has recently announced a massive stimulus package of 1.9 MM baht. Use the IS-LM-PC model to show the effect of these policies on Thai economy. Draw the graph and explain. Suppose that the 1.9 MM baht stimulus package does not sufficient to support the Thai financial system and also leads to the government debt crisis. What would happen to the Thai economy? Draw the graph and explain using the IS-LM-PC model

SECTION 4: TRUE OR FALSE OR UNCERTAIN 25. According to the classical macroeconomic model, expansionary fiscal policy has an inflationary effect. 26. Assuming that you have free capital mobility and fixed exchange rate policy, then fiscal policy has a positive effect on output 27. Expansionary fiscal policy always has a depreciating effect on the domestic exchange rate. 28. According to the relative income hypothesis, the savings rate is a non-linear function of the ratio of current to previous peak income. 29. In the IS-LM-BOP model, macroeconomic adjustments occur through changes in money supply if the country adopts a fixed exchange rate regime. 30. According to the impossible trinity, a country that has a liberalized capital account and independent monetary policy will also achieve a stable exchange rate.
Macroeconomics. True/False Questions. Please answer all questions and give brief explanation. The short-run nominal interest rate decreases and the long-run nominal interest rate increases when the central bank increases money supply. The tax multiplier is larger than the government spending multiplier. According to the Pigou effect, a decrease in price leads to an increase in output. Under a small open economy model with floating exchange rates, an increase in money supply leads to an increase in investment and output. In theory, an increase in country risk premium leads to a decrease in investment and output. Under the closed economy model, if money demand does not depend on the interest rate, the LM curve is vertical. The (negative) tradeoff between inflation and unemployment holds only in the short run. According to the life cycle model, population aging (the fraction of the population that is elderly increases) leads to a decrease in national saving. According to…

International Macroeconomics Y = C+I+G, where C=30+0.5*Y, I=100-10*r M=500-10*r+0.1*Y (Y and r are endogenous, M and G are exogenous, Closed economy) If the government increase the spending from 30 to 40, (1) calculate the fiscal multiplier (2) change in output (3) crowding effect
Start with a brief introduction that explains use of Government policy to control the economy. When is it appropriate to use monetary and fiscal policy to stimulate or stabilize the economy? Look at both. When is it inappropriate to use monetary and fiscal policy to stimulate or stabilize the economy? Look at both. What specific fiscal policy tools would you use to stimulate aggregate demand and how? What specific monetary policy tools would you use to stimulate aggregate demand and how? What is your conclusion, should policymakers use the monetary and or fiscal policy, or a combination of both, to stimulate aggregate demand? Explain your reasoning.
At the monetary policy meeting in February 2021, the central bank of Mexico cut its policy the rate for the first time since September in an effort to stimulate the economy. However, after the United States government announced in March 2021 the introduction of a new financial stimulus package to boost the US economy, the Governor of the Mexican central bank announced that the board would consider the impact of the US fiscal stimulus in the Mexican economy, and whether it is necessary to change their monetary response. Explain how a US fiscal stimulus may affect the Mexican economy and why the central bank may respond to it. (100 words max)
Some liken quantitative easing to that of directing a firehose of money to emerging economies that cannot manage the cash, while others worry that the flood of cash has encourages reckless financial behavior. What specific types of "reckless" financial behavior comes from quantitative easing and by whom? Which measure will reduce employment best: government tax reduction, or increased government spending? Can you compare the multiplier effect of a tax reduction versus the multiplier effect of an increase in government spending? There are TWO formulas. Which of the two will have a bigger impact in the economy and why based on the two formulas? Using the formulas, figure this out: If $30 billion in new investment is added to the economy and MPC is 0.9, how much would the national income (GDP) increase by?
