FISCAL POLICY IN-CLASS WORKSHEET 2 This question explores the role of expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy in the Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply model. You will use schedules for an aggregate demand line and an aggregate supply line to identify the equilibrium price level and real GDP in a macroeconomy. Additionally, you will compare the short-run equilibrium level of real GDP to the full employment level of real GDP to identify desirable fiscal policies. Below, you are provided the schedules...
Economics: 1) Why is it possible to change real economic factors in the short run simply by printing and distributing more money? 2) Explain why a stable 5% inflation rate can be preferable to one that averages 4% but varies between 1-7% regularly. 3) Explain the difference between active and passive monetary policy. 4) Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium, with real GDP at $16 trillion and the unemployment rate at 5%, Now assume that the central bank unexpectedly...
2. Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium, with real GDP at $19 trillion and the unemployment rate at 5%. Now assume that the central bank unexpectedly decreases money supply by 6%. a) Illustrate the short-run effects of the monetary policy by using aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. Be sure to indicate the direction of change in real GDP, the price level and the unemployment rate. b) Illustrate the long-run effects of the monetary policy by using aggregate demand-aggregate supply model....
- Problem set o Seved Help Limitations of Fiscal Policy Exercise 2 The graph below depicts an economy where a decline in aggregate demand has caused a recession. The economy's current level of real GDP (Y) is below its long-run equilibrium, which is illustrated by the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS), and a price level (P4) below the equilibrium value of Pe a. Use the graph to illustrate what happens when government-enacted expansionary fiscal policy happens too slowly-that is, when...
Assume that the economy starts at potential output, and then there is a major decline in new home construction. a) Describe the short-run impact of this change on real GDP and the price level. Be specific about what component(s) of GDP change, and explain the economics behind the changes you describe. b) Assuming no further shocks/changes in policy, describe how the economy will transition from the short-run equilibrium in part a) to its long-run equilibrium. Be sure to explain the...

(1) Calculate the government spending multiplier if, an increase in government spending by $5 million increases real GDP by $20 million. Group of answer choices 0.20 0.25 2 5 4 (2) A major benefit of automatic stabilizers is that they: Group of answer choices guarantee a balanced budget over the course of the business cycle. have a tendency to reduce the national debt. moderate the effect of fluctuations in the business cycle. require legislative review by Congress before they can...
22. Why is the multiplier for a change in taxes smaller than for a change in spending? a. A change in taxes has no effect on aggregate demand, only on aggregate supply. b. A change in taxes directly affects government spending as well, lowering the multiplier. c. A change in taxes affects spending directly, but at a slower rate than spending does. d. A change in taxes affects disposable income and then consumption rather than spending directly....
Question 3: Multiplier Model (20 Points] Suppose the components of a closed economy can be described by the following set of equations: Y=C+I+G C= 1200 +0.8 (Y-T) I = 750 G = 900 T=950 (a) Is the government currently running a balanced budget, a budget deficit or a budget surplus? Explain. [3 Points (b) Calculate the equilibrium income. [6 Points) (c) Graphically illustrate, using the Keynesian Cross Diagram, the effect of a decrease in government spending on equilibrium output. [5...
3.The Multiplier and returning the economy to Equilibrium a. List expansionary and contractionary tools of fiscal policy b. Assume C=$12,300 +.6 Dl and graph an economy in the AD AS model with Potential Output of $600 and Real GDP at $450. Identify typical levels of unemployment and inventory change in this gap. c. Calculate the change in unemployment insurance needed to close the gap. Show all work d. Assume government spending changes by $50, what is the impact on AD?
