As a result of the easy policy of low-interest rates and easy credit by the Fed, it makes it attractive for firms ot borrow more as the cost of borrowing is much lower. They can borrow to invest in several new projects and expand production. thus, the short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right. This will lead to a new equilibrium with a higher level of output and a higher level of inflation. Since, the economy was already at full employment, this will lead to an over heated economy whoch will have to be slowed down soon or inflation will rise very quickly

) Use an Aggregate Demand – Aggregate Supply model beginning at full employment (RGDP=PGDP) to show the effects that an “easy money” policy of low interest rates and easy credit by the Fed would have on the U.S. economy. LRAS SRAS To AD Y Yo
QUESTION 10 0.36 points Save Answer LRAS Aggregate price level P, AD, Real GDP In response to the high unemployment rate and low level of real GDP at point El in the diagram above, the Federal Open Market Committee (the decision-making body of the Federal Reserve) decides to engineer a decrease in interest rates. If no other disturbances occurred, and the Fed calibrated its policy perfectly so that full employment equilibrium was restored, what price level would prevail at the...
The graph below depicts an economy where an increase in aggregate demand has caused inflation. The economy's current level of real GDP (Y2) is above its long-run equilibrium. This is illustrated by the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) and a price level (P2) above the equilibrium value of Pe Fiscal Policy LRAS AS AD. 1 Real GDP Which of the following is an example of an automatic stabilizer that would help this economy move toward fll employment again? A reduction...
A supply shock is A. an increase in the rate of inflation as a result of expansionary fiscal policy, resulting in a leftward shift of the SRAS curve. B. a sudden increase in the price of an important natural resource, resulting in a leftward shift of the SRAS curve. O C. an increase potential GDP caused by a govemment expenditure multiplier, resulting in a leftward shift of the AD curve. D. an increase in both the inflation and the unemployment...
With the onset of the 2007-2008 Great Recession, the Fed, led by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke (2006- 2014), lowered its target interest rate (the federal funds rate) to a range of 0.00-0.25 percent. This was done with 7 rate cuts during 2008, after several in 2007. Consider the aggregate demand aggregate supply diagram below, which represents the macroeconomy. Suppose the market is initially at an equilibrium at point A. What effect will the Fed's actions have on this economy? LRAS:...

AD falls by more than SRAS falls d. AD falls by the same amount that SRAS falls e. AD falls by less than SRAS falls 2. Explain how expectations about future sales will affect investment. 3.

AD1 -3% 3% Real GDP growth rate Initially, the economy is experiencing 9% inflation and 3% real GDP growth. Suppose that entrepreneurs become more pessimistic about the state of the economy. In the short run, what will be the inflation rate and real GDP growth rate? Inflation: Real GDP growth: The...
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....
On March 15, 2017, Federal Reserve Chairman Janet L. Yellen announced the Federal Reserve was raising its benchmark rate (the federal funds rate) by a quarter of a percentage point (to a range of 0.75-1.00 percent). This was the third time the Fed has raised rates after the Great Recession. Image result for fed will raise rates Consider the aggregate demand-aggregate supply diagram below, which represents the macroeconomy. Suppose the market is initially at an equilibrium at point A.
