Which of the following is not true about real business cycle macroeconomics:
(a) is based on econometric and statistical modeling.
(b) describes how productivity shocks affect the business cycle
(c) determines that neither fiscal nor monetary policy is very important for macroeconomic performance
(d) requires dynamic general equilibrium modeling
The labor market model (II): Now we add some parameters to the labor market model: labor supply: Ls = × w + labor demand: Ld = - w The parameters in this setup are , , and . (Notice that parameters are denoted with an overbar, a convention we will maintain throughout the book.) The parameter represents the number of hours workers would supply to the market even if the wage were zero; it therefore reflects the inherent amount of time people like to work. The parameter , in contrast, reflects the amount of labor the firm would like to hire if the wage were zero. It might be thought of as some inherent capacity of the firm (perhaps because the firm owns a given amount of land and capital that cannot be altered). (a) What is the economic interpretation of ? (b) What are the endogenous variables in this model? (c) Solve for the equilibrium of the labor market. That is, solve for the endogenous variables as a function of the parameters of…

The macroeconomic forecasts carried out by different entities are of upmost importance for the whole society and, of course, for the companies that operate in that economy. select two updated macroeconomic charts of some of the entities that monitor the economy and make forecasts. The objective is to compare different future forecasts of the entities to have a critical and well-formed view of the macroeconomic future in the USA. Based on the charts consulted, comment what is expected from the American economy in the next years in general terms. Are there differences in the forecasts?

- * 5. The labor market model (I): Suppose the following equations characterize supply and demand in the labor market model: labor supply: L³ = 2 × w + 30 labor demand: Lª = 60 – w Equilibrium occurs at an employment level L* and a wage w*, so that the labor market clears. That is, supply is equal to demand: L'= Lª (a) What are the endogenous variables in the labor market model?

The horizontal axis measures real GDP, a measure of the nation’s output that removes the effects of inflation. The vertical axis measures the price level (the average level of output prices). Consider Katrina’s effect of “cost shocks” – unexpected changes in the prices of important inputs (assume LRAS is unchanged). For example, Katrina unexpectedly choked off oil, natural gas, and refined gasoline supplies from the Gulf region, placing upward pressure on energy costs. The hurricane also shut down factories and businesses, reducing the nation’s productive capacity. Therefore, the effect of the higher energy prices and reduced productive capacity is to shift the __________ curve(s). Consider how the government’s fiscal policy response affects the economy. Recall that both individual consumers’ purchases and government purchases are included in aggregate…arrow_forward
- The Canadian economy suffered two major shocks in 2008, leading to the severe recession of 2008–2009. One shock was related to oil prices; the other was the slump in both consumer and business confidence. This question analyzes the effect of these two shocks on GDP using the AD–AS model. Draw typical aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves. Label the horizontal axis “Real GDP” and the vertical axis “Aggregate price level.” Label the equilibrium point E1, the equilibrium quantity Y1, and equilibrium price P1. Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram from part (a) to illustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve. The New Housing Price Index, published by Statistics Canada, calculates that Canada’s home prices fell by an average of 3% in the 12 months between April 2008 and April 2009. Business fixed capital formation fell by 19% during the same period. Would the fall in home prices and business…arrow_forwardquestion 3 Consider the AS-AD and three-equations models of a closed economy discussed in the course. (a). Write down the expressions for the AS and AD curves and interpret the expressions: what is the intuition behind the two curves? What must be true of the model parameters and variables in the long-run equilibrium, i.e. in the steady state? (b). Analyse the effects of an oil supply shock that causes a temporary increase in inflation, using the three-equation model. Assume that the shock lasts for one-period and then assumes the value 2%. Describe the mechanisms that bring the economy back to long-run equilibrium. What happens to aggregate demand? (c). Consider an economy that starts out in steady state when the central bank decides to make the inflation target more ambitious. Analyse the effects of a decrease in the inflation target from 7 to n". Explain the mechanisms behind the adjustment to the new steady state.arrow_forwardHow do expectations about future economic conditions influence the speed of adjustment?
