When the economy is hit by a real shock, some economists think that the best response is for the Fed to do nothing. They fear that there is no good response to a real shock. Why is that? Explain.
If there is a decrease in inflation what happens to aggregate supply. Aggregate demand would shift downwards because it would fall but would supply be affected by this? With this shift in inflation and the decrease in demand what would policy makers do in response to this?

- The economy is currently in a supply - shock recession. Suppose the Fed decides to pursue contractionary monetary policy (hawk). What can we expect from the price and real gdp level? Prices will increase even more but output will return to full employment levels Prices will return to pre recession levels but unemployment will increase even more Prices will return to pre recession levels and unemployment will return to the natural rate Nothing will happen.arrow_forwardSuppose the economy is in a long-run equilibrium.a. Draw the economy’s short-run and long-run Phillips curves.b. Suppose a wave of business pessimism reduces aggregate demand. Show the effect of this shock on your diagram from part (a).

- Explain in details how high inflation can lead to a recession in several ways.arrow_forwardThe major problem facing the economy is high unemployment and weak economic growth. The inflation rate is low and stable. Therefore, the Federal Reserve decides to pursue a policy to increase the rate of economic growth. Which policy changes by the Fed would reinforce each other to achieve that objective?arrow_forwardSuppose 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."arrow_forward
- Draw the short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. How might the Fed move the economy from one point on this curve to another?arrow_forwardWhat are supply shocks? Why are policy choices hard when there are negative supply shocks? Would you model the pandemic of 2020 as a supply shock or a demand shock? Why?arrow_forwardAn economy's aggregate demand curve (the relationship between short-run equilibrium output and inflation) is described by the equation:Y = 15,000 - 12,000π, where π is the inflation rate. Initially, the inflation rate is 2 percent or π = 0.02. Potential output Yp equals 14,640.Note: Keep as much precision as possible during your calculations. Your final answer for inflation should be accurate to at least two decimal places and output should be accurate to the nearest whole number.a) Find inflation and output in short-run equilibrium. Inflation : 0%Output : $0 b) Find inflation and output in long-run equilibrium. Inflation : 0%Output : $0arrow_forward
- Explain whether policy makers should be more concerned about the economy going into a recession or facing high inflation and why.arrow_forwardRead the statements below carefully, and decide whether it is true or false. And then explain your answer (whether “true “ or “false”). 1.A recession is defined as a period when the economy’s average price level is rising. 2. Inflation caused by a rise in per-unit production costs is referred to as demand-pull inflation. 3. Both final and intermediate goods and services should be counted in national income accounts. 4. A contractionary monetary policy will cause the general price level to rise in the short run. 5. If net exports is positive, a nation's exports of goods and services exceed its imports.arrow_forwardSuppose the Central bank announces today a change in monetary policy: it is increasing target inflation from 2% to 3%. Using the 3-equation model under adaptive expectations, explain how the economy adjusts to the change in monetary policy. (you need to use the graph, and explain in detail how the economy reacts to this change).arrow_forward
