How does an economy produce a sustained equilibrium high rate of
inflation in the medium run with no change in the equilibrium value
of the real exchange rate or in that of the economy’s international
investment position?
QUESTION 30
Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium at an inflation
rate of 1% Then inflation expectations rise to 2% and inflation
rises to 3%. The increase in expected inflation shifts the
short-run Phillips curve
a.
left. Overall, unemployment moves above its natural rate.
b.
left. Overall, unemployment moves below its natural rate.
c.
right. Overall, unemployment moves below its natural rate.
d.
right. Overall, unemployment moves above its natural rate.
At a given price level, an increase in...
Assume that the economy is at a long-run equilibrium, with
unemployment at 5%, and inflation at 2% pa. Suppose a shock causes
a very large increase in the cost of crude oil and gas. Assume that
Ireland does not produce any oil or gas, and imports large amounts
of oil and gas. The shock causes unemployment to rise to 9%, and
inflation to rise to 4% pa. Using the data, write out the equation
of the Phillips curve before, during,...
Suppose the U.S. economy was in both short-run and long-run
equilibrium, until the economy experienced inflation.
a. Which policy would be consistent with the goals of monetary
policy during this time?
The Fed repos $25 billion worth of Treasury bonds to non-bank
financial firms.
The Fed reduces the discount rate from 7 percent to 5
percent.
The Fed reduces the reserve ratio from 20 percent to 15
percent.
The Fed sells securities worth $100 million to financial
institutions.
Assume that the economy is at long run
equilibrium,with unemplyment at 5% and inflation at 2%pa.
Suppose a shock causes a very large increase in the
cost of crude oil and gas. Assume that Ireland does not produce any
oil or gas, and imports large amounts of oil and gas. The shock
causes unemployment to rise to 9%, and inflation to rise to
4%pa.
(a) Using a large AD/AS diagram and a large Phillips
curve diagram, illustrate the short-run effects...
Suppose the economy is initially at the medium-run equilibrium.
Suppose because of less competition the mark-up goes up. Please
answer the following questions to go through the impacts of this on
macro-economy both in the short run and medium run:
(1) Draw the AS-AD graph. Mark the original equilibrium position
before this monetary policy. Explain the shift of either the AS or
AD curve and describe carefully how the economy adjusts from the
short-run equilibrium to the medium-run equilibrium.

1. Suppose the economy is initially at the medium-run
equilibrium. Now FED decides to increase money supply to stimulate
the economy. Please answer the following questions to go through
the impacts of this expansionary monetary policy on macro-economy
both in the short run and medium run:
(1) Draw the AS-AD graph. Mark the original equilibrium position
before this monetary policy. Explain the shift of either the AS or
AD curve and carefully describe how the economy adjusts from the
short-run...

Suppose the economy is initially in long-run equilibrium and
experiences a favourable inflation shock. a) Explain how the SRAS
line is affected in the short-run. b) Use your result for part (a)
along with the AD-AS diagram to illustrate and explain what will
happen to output and inflation in both the short-run and the
long-run if the Reserve Bank accommodates the favourable inflation
shock. c) Use your result for part (a) along with the AD-AS diagram
to illustrate and explain...
