Suppose the US economy is currently in long-run equilibrium at potential output. A tax overhaul lowers corporate income taxes and adds $1.4 trillion to the national debt. Using economic reasoning and models as evidence, evaluate and discuss how this event will likely impact output, employment, interest rates and the price level in the A) short run and B) long run. Be sure to address any assumptions you make as well as the perspective you take.

Suppose the US economy is currently in long run equilibrium. Predict how each of the following events will likely impact output, employment and the price level in the short run and the long run. Be sure to identify which component of aggregate expenditure will be impacted, and how that will in turn affect either AD or AS (and which direction). A tax overhaul lowers income taxes and adds $1.3 trillion to the national debt. Major economic indicators decrease business optimism...

Suppose the economy is currently in short run macroeconomic equilibrium, with actual GDP smaller than potential GDP. (a) Depict this situation using AD-AS, being sure to label all curves and axes. (b) Give an example of an automatic stabilizer, and explain how it could close the gap this economy has. (c) What open market operation could the Federal Reserve carry out, to close this gap? Show graphically the effect it would have.

Suppose your economy resides at long‐run potential output but concerns arise that the birth rate is too low to support retired workers on fixed social security payments. Suppose further that technology growth is insignificant. If population is allowed to rise through immigration, what happens to the long‐run aggregate supply curve, prices and interest rates? What could happen to the LR supply curve, prices and interest rates if immigration remained restricted?

1)Suppose the Canadian economy is at its long-run equilibrium with national income equal to the potential national income. a) Suppose there is an increase in government purchases (G). Use ALL diagrams to show the effect of an increase in government purchases (G) on aggregate demand. Are equilibrium price and national income higher or lower at the new short-run equilibrium? b)Suppose there is a decrease in wealth (W) because of a price change. Use ALL diagrams to show the effect on...

Suppose the economy is in a long-run equilibrium. Currently because of all oil producer producing high amount of oil, the world is in abundance of oil causing the price of oil to fall, even the price is negative. In addition, covid 19 pandemic also slowering the economy and lowering global demand significantly. Use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to illustrate the equilibrium change caused by this event (both because of oil price fall and covid 19). Be...
