Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1."
Then, suppose that, due to increased instability in the financial markets, a decrease in investor and consumer confidence occurs. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2."
Lastly, suppose the Federal Reserve wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the Fed intervene? If so, show the impact of successful monetary policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
Within the Keynesian model with both a flexible price and flexible money wage, illustrate graphically and explain the effect of a decline in expectations. Include in your answer the effects of this policy shift on real output, the price level, employment, the money wage, and the interest rate. Explain what this question has to do with the typical Keynesian view of what causes recessions.
In the New Keynesian model, how should the central bank change its target interest rate in response to each of the following shocks? Use diagrams and explain your results.
There is a shift in money demand.
Total factor productivity is expected to decrease in the future.

- Suppose Bangladesh Bank (BB) decided to follow the Taylor rule to conduct monetary policy. BB's target interest rate is the lending rate. The economists in BB understands that there will be some time lag for their policy to be effective and therefore they use a forecasted or expected inflation rate (instead of current inflation rate) in their policy rule. BB is equally concerned about output and inflation. According to BB's estimate the equilibrium real lending rate is 5 percent. BB's inflation target is 3 percent and the deviation of actual output from the potential output (as measured by the HP filter) is 1 percent.a. If the expected inflation rate is 6%, then at what target should the lending rate be set according to the Taylor rule?arrow_forwardSuppose the economy of a hypothetical country has reached its long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs. The economy of a hypothetical country has been stable for two or three years with very low unemployment. Wages have been gradually increasing during this time. Now stock market prices begin significant increases, causing peoples’ investments, such as their retirement accounts and other investments, to increase in value. People feel very good about the future and use their new-found wealth to buy things that they had been hesitant to purchase in the past. Describe, in a short essay inserted below these questions, how the economic situation will change and how the government could best respond to these changes. Include detailed answers to the following questions in your essay: What kind of economic gap will start to occur (inflationary or recessionary)? What kind of fiscal policy might be helpful to stabilize the economy…arrow_forwardRead the following premise carefully and answer the questions specifically and in detail. You must answer the request with the correct information, showing that you understand and can properly apply macroeconomic concepts. Try to address all elements of each question and always express the answers in your own words. Faced with an instability of economic growth caused by a recession or accelerated inflation, the Fed uses the open market operation to increase or decrease the available reserves of commercial banks which, in turn, will affect the amount of money available in the economy . In addition to the open market operation, the Fed has other tools available to promote growth, sustainability, and economic stability in a country. These tools have been used historically; A suitable example was the 2008 mortgage debt crisis. 1. Explain in detail monetary policy, its role and its effects on short and long-term economic fluctuations. Use the aggregate demand and supply model presented in…arrow_forward
- It is time to take control of the Federal Reserve, which controls the U.S. money supply (M). In this chapter, we are thinking only about the “long run,” so real GDP (Y ) is out of the Fed’s control, as is velocity (v). The Fed’s only goal is to make sure that the price level (P) is equal to 100 each and every year. That is just known as “price stability,” one of the main goals of most governments. Fill in the missing values of M for the table. Year M v = P Y 1 25,000 2 100 500 2 4 100 500 3 4 100 400 4 4 100 200 5 2 100 400 6 1 100 600 Year 2, M = Year 3, M = Year 4, M = Year 5, M = Year 6, M =arrow_forwardRefer to the graphs, in which the numbers in parentheses near the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the level of investment spending associated with each curve. All figures are in billions. The economy is at point Y on the investment demand curve. Given these conditions, what policy should the Fed pursue to achieve a noninflationary, full-employment level of real GDP? A) increase aggregate demand from AD3 to AD2. B) decrease the money supply from $225 to $150 billion. C) increase interest rates from 4 to 8 percent. D) make no change in monetary policy.arrow_forwardA severe negative supply shock occurs when there is a significant reduction in the supply of key inputs, such as labor, raw materials, or energy. This can lead to a reduction in output, higher prices, and potentially stagflation (i.e., high inflation and low economic growth). To tackle the effects of a severe negative supply shock, governments and central banks may use various macroeconomic policies. Supply-side policies: Supply-side policies refer to measures aimed at increasing the productive capacity of the economy. In the case of a severe negative supply shock, the government may implement supply-side policies such as tax incentives or subsidies to encourage firms to invest in new technology or production methods. However, these policies may take time to have an impact and may not be sufficient to offset the immediate effects of the supply shock. explain this graphically please.arrow_forward
- Economics Assess the following event on the assumption that policymakers are using the Taylor rule as a basis for policy changes, as specified in equation: r = 2 + 0.5(π – π^T) + 0.5(Y-Y^P). In 1973, the United States experienced an unexpected slowdown in productivity, which reduced potential output. Show how the real interest rate (r), output (Y), and inflation behave in the short-run and long-run. Explain and graph using MP, IS, and AD-AS graph to demonstrate. do not provide hand written solutionarrow_forwardExpected inflation is 1.5%. The economy is initially in macroeconomic equilibrium with a real interest rate of 3% and an output gap of 0%. That is, the economy is operating at its potential. Using the Fed model linking the IS-MP framework with the Phillips curve, draw a graph showing the effect of the following shock: A severe recession impacts most of Western Europe, where several of the US most important trade partners are located. Your graph should clearly indicate the conditions both before and after the shock.arrow_forwardIn the following table, determine how each event affects the position of the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve.

A natural disaster destroys a significant amount of the economy's production facilities.arrow_forward
- Chapter 14, Problem 5, p. 530. (not answered) In the New Keynesian model, how should the central bank change its target interest rate in response to each of the following shocks? Use diagrams and explain your results. (a) There is a shift in money demand. (b) Total factor productivity is expected to decrease in the future. (c) Total factor productivity decreases in the present Chapter 14, Problem 6, p. 530. (not answered) In the New Keynesian model, suppose that in the short run the central bank cannot observe aggregate output or the shocks that hit the economy. However, the central bank would like to come as close as possible to economic efficiency. That is, ideally the central bank would like the output gap to be zero. Suppose initially that the economy is in equilibrium with a zero-output gap. (a) Suppose that there is a shift in money demand. That is, the quantity of money demanded increases for each interest rate and level of real income.
