8) Consider an economy in long-run equilibrium with an inflation rate () of 0.08 per year and a natural unemployment rate of 0.05. Suppose Okun's law holds and a one percentage point unemployment rate reduces real output by 2% of full-employment output. The expectation-augmented Phillips curve is givep by increase in the т . ne . 2.5 (u-005). Consider a two distr maErTTelintyear,π .006 and me . 008. In the second year, π.004 and㎡.

Question 1: IS-LM-AD in a closed economy (35 Marks) The following represent the key equations for a closed economy: Md 18+0.5Y-450 Money demand C" = 6 + 0.8(Y-T)-250r 1 -33-200r u-u0.3 a) Write out the equations for the IS and LM curves for this economy, with the real Desired consumption Desired investment Initial budget position Okun's law Y-Y rate of interest (r) on the left-hand side. Next, use these relationships to find the AD curve, written with output (Y) on...
Consider the following extended classical economy (in which the misperceptions theory holds): AD SRAS Okun's Law Full employment output Natural unemployment rate Y- 300 10(MIP) Y 550 u = 0.09 Suppose that the money supply M 1,200 and that the expected price level, Pe, equals 40. What are the short-run equilibrium values of: The price level (P: 40 Enter the value rounded to one decimal place. Hint: You will need to use factoring or the quadratic formula and choose the...
Question 1: General Equilibrium in closed and open economies [50 marks] Consider the following closed Keynesian economy Desired consumption, Cd = 1000 + 0.6(Y-T) - 300r; Desired investment, Id = 600 - 300r; Money deman d, L = 0.6Y - 300r; Output, Ȳ = 4000; Expected inflation, πe = 0; Assume that we are in a closed economy. Suppose that T = G = 300 and M = 8000. Find the equilibrium values of output, consumption, investment, the real interest...
Consider an economy in which the unemployment rate is at the natural level and the inflation rate is 10%. Suppose that the domestic central bank wants to reduce inflation to 5%. Starting from year t the central bank reduces the money supply in such a way that unemployment remains above the natural level by one percent each year. After 5 years the inflation reaches the new target of 5%. Compute the sacrifice ratio of this policy. What is the slope...
Question 1: General Equilibrium in closed and open economies [50 marks] Consider the following closed Keynesian economy Desired consumption, Cd = 1000 + 0.6(Y-T) - 300r; Desired investment, Id = 600 - 300r; Money deman d, L = 0.6Y - 300r; Output, Ȳ = 4000; Expected inflation, πe = 0; Calculate the investment and consumption. c. Find the new long-run equilibrium by taking M = 6000 and the price level as flexible (repeat part a). The following are the steps...
2. Phillips Curve. An economy has the following functions for its short run aggregate supply (SRAS), Okun's Law (OL), and Phillips Curve (PC): SRAS: P = EP + (1/2)(y - 3) OL: (Y-Y) = -4(u-u") PC:T = ET - (1/5)( - 6) The economy begins at its natural rate of output with a stable price level equal to $5. a.) Output is at its natural level when the price level is equal to expectations. Calculate the natural rate of output...
Suppose that the natural rate of unemployment is 5% and that the economy is operating at 97.5% of potential output. Use Okun's law to determine the unemployment rate. Show work please
You are given that the economy has a natural rate of unemployment of 3.3%. Let inflation change by -0.3 percentage points. Assuming a slope of 1/3, use the Phillips Curve and Okun's Law to fine the corresponding unemployment rate. Note: find short run output first, then the unemployment rate. Do not type the "%" sign, and round to two decimal places. Example: .0815 = 8.15% should be entered as 8.15
B2. Closed Economy IS-LM-FE model: The behaviour of households and firms in a closed economy is represented by the following equations Desired consumptionC 200+0.8(Y-T-500r Desired investment : r = 200-500r Real money demand where expected inflation is ㎡-0.10 and taxes depend on income according to T 20+0.25Y. (a) Derive an expression for the IS curve with the real interest rate on the left side of the equation. How does the position of the IS curve depend on G? (b) If...
