Question
The economy of Djibulistan is initially in long-run equilibrium. Then the Central
Bank of Djibulistan increases the money supply.
a. Assuming unexpected inflation as a result of the above-mentioned policy,
explain any changes in output,
caused by the monetary expansion. Explain your answer and conclusions
using three graphs: IS-LM, AD-AS, and the Phillips curve.
b. Assuming instead that resulting, inflation is expected, explain any changes
in output, unemployment, and inflation that are caused by the monetary
expansion. Explain your answer and conclusions using three graphs: ISLM, AD-AS, and the Phillips curve.

- ET = 0.7 #-1 + 0.3 7-2 Okun's law for this economy is: (Y – Y-1)/Y-1 = 3.0 – 2.0 (u – u-1) The economy begins at its natural rate of unemployment with a stable inflation rate of 5 percent. a. What is the natural rate of unemployment for this economy? b. Graph the short-run tradeoff between infla- tion and unemployment that this economy faces. Label the point where the economy begins as point A. (Be sure to give numerical values for point A.) c. A fall in aggregate demand leads to a reces- sion, causing the unemployment rate to rise 4 percentage points above its natural rate. On your graph in part (a), label the point the economy experiences that year as point B.

Illustrate the short-run and long-run impact of an unexpected monetary contraction using the IS-LM model, the AD-AS model, and the Phillips curve. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction the curves shift; v. the short-run equilibrium values; and vi. the long-run equilibrium values. Explain in words what your graphs illustrate. ) (b) Assume that people form expectations rationally and that the sticky-price model describes the aggregate supply curve in the economy. For each of the following scenarios explain whether or not monetary policy can have real effects on the economy. i. The central bank determines monetary policy at the same time that firms are setting prices, so that both firms and policymakers have all of the same information. ) ii. The central bank determines monetary policy after firms have set prices using information not available at the time prices were set. )…arrow_forward

Draw a graph showing the Phillips curve for Acadia based on the values for inflation and unemployment in this economy from 2018 to 2020. Plot 3 points in total to draw the Phillips curve for Acadia below. Plot the plotting points in the order 2018, 2020 and then 2019.

Answer thefollowing questions.a. What is the natural rate of unemployment?b. Graph the short run and the long run relationship between inflation and unemployment.c. How much cyclical unemployment is necessary to reduce inflation by 10 percentagepoint?d. The inflation is running at 12 percent. The Central Bank wants to reduce it to 9 percent.Give two scenarios that will achieve the goal.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false?a. There is some evidence of negative correlation between central bank independenceand inflation. But the benefits of the independence come at the cost of sloweroutput growth.b. Housing starts are one of the leading indicators for the business cycle.c. Historically, the U.S. recession (from peak to trough) lasts about 11 months on average.d. In general, inflation is positively correlated with output gap. e. None of the above are false.arrow_forward
- If a recession persists due to nominal wage and price stickiness (slow adjustments of nominal wages downward) what kind of monetary policy can bring us out of this recession? contractionary monetary policy neutral monetary policy raising interest rates and decreasing money supply growtharrow_forwardNote :Don't use chat botarrow_forwardgyt=9mt t Ut - Ut_1= − ß(gyt – gy) πι-πι-1=-α(ut – un) The beta in Okun's law is 0.4 The alpha in the Philips curve is 1. The natural rate of growth is 5%. The Natural Unemployment rate is 6% The policy instrument is money growth gmt. 1. The Economy is at its medium-run equilibrium with inflation at 8%. What is the current growth rate of the Money Supply, gmt? 2. Given the above conditions if the Central Bank decides to follow a disinflation strategy and bring its level down from 6% to 2% over a period of 2 years then stabilize the economy. What will happen to Unemployment, Inflation and Money Growth in the next few years? 3. Define a point year of excess unemployment and the sacrifice ratio.arrow_forward
- .) Suppose people's inflation expectations are subject to ran- dom shocks: at time t-1, expected inflation in time t is Et-1t = πt-1+t-1 where n-1 is a random shock with mean zero but deviates from zero when some event beyond past inflation causes expected inflation to change. Also, Ett+1 = πt + nt.arrow_forwardIf a central bank had to give up its discretion and follow a rule that required it to keep inflation low, a. the short-run Phillips curve would shift up. b. the short-run Phillips curve would shift down. c. the long-run Phillips curve would shift right. d. the long-run Phillips curve would shift left.arrow_forwardConsider the economy represented in the graph. This economy has been hit by a positive demand shock (represented by point B). Before the shock the economy was at equilibrium (represented by point A). The top graph represents the equilibrium in the goods market, the labour market is depicted in the middle graph, and the bottom graph shows the central bank's monetary rule. r, real interest rate Is w, real wages We n, inflation TL1 IIT A ye B B B y₁ IS MR IS' y, output WS PS N, employment PC y, output Select all the CORRECT statements: The Central Bank will wait up to two periods to understand if the shock is permanent or temporary, before adjusting interest rate. If the demand shock is temporary, once the adjustment process guided by the central bank finishes, the economy will be back at the same output (Yt=ye) and interest rate (rt = rs). At point B there is a positive bargaining gap between the WS-PS which puts pressure on prices to increase. The slope of the Phillips curve (PC) does…arrow_forward
