the August unemployment figures for Australia were surprisingly better than predicted (did not continue to increase) given the collapse that occurred in the economy due to COVID closures.
(a) Use the static AD-AS model to explain the short run impact of the COVID closures on the economy and discuss the implications this has for unemployment.
b) Comment on the limitations of the static AD-AS model in analysing the situation under COVID.
There is an on‐going debate on how unemployment benefits affect the unemployment rate. In the context of the Mortensen‐Pissarides model, unemployment benefits are represented by the variable b. Explain carefully how an increase in b affects each equilibrium condition (Beveridge curve, vacancy supply condition, and wage setting curve.) How is the steady‐state unemployment rate impacted by an increase in b? Use the simulation tool here, https://www.briancjenkins.com/dmp‐model/simulation‐tool.html, to check your answer.

- Beginning in March 2013, federal government spending was resstrained due to the sequester (feel free to Google details). Moreover, then President Obama’s budget proposals called for cuts in various types of government spending over the next ten years. Use the AD-AS model (along with a labor market graph) to show and explain how this will affect Y, N, W/P, and P over time. As an aside, recent news reports have suggested that the possibility of a renewed use of the sequester is part of the current political maneuvering over the federal budget for the fiscal year that starts October 1st.arrow_forwardAs businesses reopen after the shut down response to the Covid virus, the unemployment rate is exceptionally high and the economy is likely producing far below its potential.
