Which of the following statements are INCORRECT? "When faced with income shocks, household may not be able to smooth their consumption due to credit market exclusion that hinders their ability to borrow." "Any estimate of potential output will have shortcomings, and for this reason, policy makers do not use output gap to make policy decisions." "In the case of a negative aggregate demand shock that brings output below potential, there is no need of central bank intervention as there is no inflationary pressure in the economy." "When the economy is at its potential output, actual unemployment is equal to equilibrium unemployment"

According to mainstream economists, what is the usual cause of macroeconomic instability? What role does the spending-income multiplier play in creating instability? How might adverse aggregate supply factors cause instability, according to mainstream economists?
In the aftermath of the 2008-2009 financial crisis in the US, the output gap fell by 8% and the inflation rate fell to -2.1% in July 2009. Using the AS-AD model, explain which shock hit the economy and discuss the macroeconomic policies available to policymakers to stabilise the economy. How effective are they to stimulate aggregate demand?
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.
Hi, could you help me solve this problem? It is often argued that the effect of a demand shock depends on the state of the economy. In particular, a given increase in aggregate demand may induce a larger increase in inflation (or price level) if the output gap is initially positive (output exceeds natural output) than if the output gap is initially negative. The argument is that when economy’s overall production capacity is almost fully used, firms cannot expand output much in response to an increase in demand.t Draw AD and AS curves that are consistent with these ideas and explain them briefly.

Suppose country A has a central bank with full credibility, and country B has a central bank with no credibility.Using a graph of aggregate demand and supply explain (a long explanation) how the credibility of each country’s central bank affect economic outcomes, if both countries are hit with the same b) negative temporary aggregate supply shock?
With the aid of a 3-equation macroeconomic model discuss the importance of propagation mechanisms in determining how economies adjust to aggregate demand shocks.
(a) Suppose that, in a liquidity trap, bank reserves are less liquid than government debt. If the central bank conducts an open market sale of government debt, what will be the effect on the price level? Use a diagram, explain your results. (b) Suppose that there is a decrease in the price of housing, which the central bank judges is a temporary asset price decrease. In the New Keynesian model, determine the central bank's optimal response to this asset price increase, using diagrams. (c) Suppose initially that inflation is at the central bank's target and the output gap is zero. Then, government spending goes up. Determine, with the aid of diagrams, how the degree of price stickiness affects the central bank's optimal response and explain your results.
Consider a standard AD-AS model. An increase in the interest sensitivity of consumption and/or investment demand makes the AD curve flatter and makes inflation more responsive to supply shocks. True/False. Remember to include your explanation.
Use the IS-LM model to analyze the short run impact of a fall in consumer confidence on the economy. You must provide a complete discussion of the impact including how the shock transmits through the economy & illustrate the impact on a diagram. The discussion must explain how consumers and producers respond in the economy; this means an intuitive discussion must be provided [see lecture for example].
