I. The economy of Zarland is operating below the full-employment level of output with a balanced budget. (a) Draw a correctly labeled graph of short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, a...
Below, you are provided with the aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply curves. You will use this information to identify the economy is experiencing a recessionary gap or an expansionary gap. You will then determine whether expansionary or contractionary monetary policy is more desirable. 135 Price Level LAS 130 SAS 125 120 115 110 105 AD 500 550 600 650 700 750 800 Real GDP (in billions) Part 1: Identify the value of Potential GDP in the...

A country with a floating exchange rate faces a short-run recession and current account deficit. Policymakers want to use temporary expansionary monetary policy to increase both output and the current account balance. Will they be successful? Only with increasing output Only with increasing the current account balance No, not with either goal Yes, with both goals In the short run, if taxes rise, output will_and the exchange rate will increase; appreciate increase; depreciate decrease; appreciate decrease; depreciate With a fixed...
1. The economy of Maxistan is currently in a recession. Show the current short-run equilibrium in a correctly labeled graph of the aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long run aggregate supply curves. Let Y1 represent current output, Yf represent full employment output, and PL1 represent the current price level. 2. Suppose interest rates are lowered. Show the effect this will have on the economy of Maxistan in your graph. Let Y2 represent the new output and PL2 represent the...
When the aggregate demand curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve intersect, a) the long-run aggregate supply curve must also intersect at the same point. Ob) the economy must experience higher output than the natural level of output. o c) the economy must experience lower output than the natural level of output. o d) the economy is in short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. In a small economy in 2016, aggregate expenditure was $900 million while GDP that year was $750 million. Which...
Using the aggregate demand (AD), the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), and the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves, briefly explain how an open market purchase will affect the equilibrium price level (P) and real output (Y) in the short run. Assume the economy is initially in a recession?
Suppose real output is initially at its full employment level. Using Aggregate Demand (AD)—Aggregate Supply (AS) framework, discuss the short-run and long-run effects of a decrease in government expenditure on the price level, real output, nominal wage rate and real wage rate under the following three alternative assumptions: nominal wages are fully flexible nominal wages are relatively slow to adjust nominal wages are completely rigid.
Below, you are provided with the aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply curves. You will use this information to identify if the economy is experiencing a recessionary gap or an expansionary gap. You will then determine whether expansionary or contractionary fiscal policy is more desirable. 140 Price Level 138 LAS 136 SAS 134 X 132 130 AD 128 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 Real GDP (in billions) Part 1: Identify the value of Potential GDP...
7 Consider a typical aggregate demand and supply curve of an economy operating at its long-run equilibrium. Express the condition for long-run equilibrium and graphically show the long- run equilibrium of this economy in an AD-AS diagram. Explain and graphically show how a positive AD shock affects the short-run equilibrium of this economy. How do the price level and rGDP change in the short term as a result? a. b. Does the positive AD shock result in a recessionary gap...
The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose a sudden and severe contraction in the housing market reduces the value of homes and causes consumers to spend less.Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the housing market slump.In the short run, the decrease in consumption spending associated with the housing...
