Applying the AD/AS Model (please use graph a long with your answer)

Consider the following two events

(i) Growth Surges in East Asia

(ii) A sharp increase in oil price

The actions the government or central bank might want to take to influence the economy. Justify your answer.

Expert Solution

1. Growth surges in east asia

It indicates large scale output in terms of GDP or GVA. It helps the investors to understand the economic conditions of the economy. In the short run, East Asian growth surges more investment in the economy. Production and income of the people will increase. Economic growth is caused by AD, aggregate demand curve shifts to the right. Price go up and aggregate/ real output increases from Y to y1. Firms inspired by higher price increase production which shifts AS curve to the right that further leads to great output in the Asian economy. In the long-run economic growth occurs due to increase productivity will be shown by a gradual shift in the AS curve to the right.

2. A sharp increase in the price of oil reduce aggreagate supply due to in higher cost of production. Which shifts the AS curve to the left. Consequently output falls from Y to Y1. and price go up from the initial P to P1.

In the initial case there is no government or central banks initiatives necessary for the growth golf the economy. Because they are in the pace of economic growth. In the second case the government needs to support producers and expansionary policies should be introduced to curtail the problem of unemployment inflation etc.

1. Use the AD-AS model to answer the following questions. Suppose that an economy is initially in its long-run equilibrium. (a) Suppose now that the interest rate rises sharply. 1. Explain what will happen to consumption and investment. 2. Graphically and verbally explain how the increase in the interest rate will change AD, LRAS, and/or SRAS and thus will change the output level and the price level in the short run. (b) Suppose now that after the...

1. Draw the AD-AS model in long-run equilibrium. Using this graph, depict what happens in the short run and in the long run if housing prices fall across the country. 2. Draw the AD-AS model when the economy is initially encountering an inflationary gap and then the government uses contractionary fiscal policy to return to long-run equilibrium.

Full Employment Model: Consider the long-run model of the economy and answer the following questions: a. Two politicians are debating the better approach to spur long-run growth. Candidate Simpson suggests cutting taxes on households such that households have more money to spend on goods and services. Candidate Griffin suggests lower taxes on interest income such that households have a greater incentive to save. Assuming both policies would do what the candidates suggest, which is more likely to spur long-term growth?...

Consider the aggregate supply-aggregate demand (AS-AD) model. The long run AS curve (LAS) is considered to be vertical at the full employment level of income. Discuss briefly 2-3 practical ways how the long run AS curve can be affected (increased) by carrying out certain government policies! Are there any risks associated with an increase in the long run AS in your examples (please, briefly discuss the risks involved)?
