QUESTION FOUR:

4.1 Assume the aggregate demand of an economy is rising at 3%, but its productive capacity is only rising at 2%. Discuss the type of inflation this would lead to. Use a diagram to motivate your answer.

Expert Solution

The type of inflation this would lead to is demand-pull inflation.

Explanation:

The type of inflation this would lead to is demand-pull inflation because the aggregate demand of an economy is rising at 3% but its productive capacity is only rising at 2%, which means that the aggregate demand is rising more than the productive capacity which is also called as the supply. More demand increase and less supply increase means that the price is rising due to greater demand than the supply. So, this type of inflation is called as demand-pull inflation.

In the diagram below, I have drawn Price on the vertical axis and Quantity of the horizontal axis. The initial demand and supply curve is denoted by Demand and Supply respectively. After the demand have increased, the demand curve shifted to the right to Demand1 and after the supply increase, the supply curve shifted to the right to Supply1. But, since the increase in demand is greater than the increase in supply (3% > 2%), the magnitude of the shift in the demand curve is more than the magnitude of the shift in the supply curve.

The initial equilibrium price is P0 and the initial equilibrium quantity is Q0. After the change in demand and the supply curves, the equilibrium price has increased to P1 and the equilibrium quantity has increased to Q1.

Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply: Assume that the economy is in short run equilibrium, and experiencing a recession Build the Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply graph which corresponds to this situation. Remember to label everything (all curves and axis and equilibrium) and include the long-run potential curve. Suppose The Fed were to make an open-market purchase of $200 million in US Treasury bonds. Is this a shift or a movement along a curve? Which curve? Graph it in such a way that...

Question 1: Suppose an economy is in equilibrium. a) Using aggregate demand and aggregate supply, illustrate the equilibrium. Do not forget to include the long-run aggregate supply. b) Now suppose the central bank decided to increase the money supply in the economy. Using the theory of liquidity preference and the money market graph, illustrate what is going to happen to the aggregate demand. c) Draw the new short-run equilibrium of the economy, as a result of the shift in aggregate...
