Suppose that the United States economy is in deep recession.

(a)    Imagine an aggregate demand and aggregate supply graph, would the equilibrium price level and real gross domestic product be below, above, or at full employment?

(b)   There is a debate in Congress as to whether to decrease personal income taxes by a given amount or to increase government purchases by this amount. Which of these two fiscal policies will have a larger impact on real gross domestic product? Explain

(c)    Explain how a decrease in personal income taxes will affect each of the following in the short run.

(i)             Consumption

(ii)            Real GDP and Price Level

(iii)           Imports

(iv)           Exports

(d)   Explain the mechanism by which an increase in net investment will cause each of the following to change.

(i)             Aggregate demand

(ii)            Long-run aggregate supply

The economy is in a recession. A congresswoman suggests increasing spending to stimulate aggregate demand but also at the same time raising taxes to pay for the increased spending. Her suggestion to combine higher government expenditures with higher taxes is: a. The worst possible combination of tax and expenditure changes. b. The best possible combination of tax and expenditure changes. c. A mediocre and contradictory combination of tax and expenditure changes. d. None of the above. After selecting your responses...

Draw an aggregate demand (AD)/aggregate supply (AS) graph to illustrate an economy experiencing a recession. Label all curves and axes. Also explain, The monetary policy you would use to eliminate the recession you illustrated above, what are the policy impacts on real GDP, employment, and price level? Draw an economy in an economic bubble and explain the fiscal policy you would use to get it out. If the policy you implemented in (c) above succeeds, what is likely to happen...

Scenario: 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 demand...

Suppose there are two groups in the economy who demand fidget spinners with the aggregate demand for rapid spinners being P = 40−2×QRD and the aggregate demand for slow spinners being P = 20 − 2 × QSD. If there are 10 rapid spinners and 20 slow spinners in the economy what is the individual demand function of a single member of each group? Find the market demand function. Suppose the (inverse) supply function for fidget spinners is P =...

Suppose the economy starts at point 1 in the aggregate supply–aggregate demand (AS-AD) graph and at point A on the Phillips curve graph. Points 2 and 3 start out stacked on point 1, but they will need to be moved to the proper locations that reflect steps 2 and 3 described below. Likewise for points B and C. The AS-AD graph reflects two aggregate demand curves (AD1 and AD2), the long-run aggregate supply curve (LAS) and two short-run aggregate supply...

Suppose an economy has three states: boom, normal, and recession. Assume that the probability of a boom state is 0.2, a normal state is 0.5, and a recession state is 0.3. And there are three stocks in this economy, called Alpha, Beta, and Gamma respectively. The return performance of these stocks has been summarized by the following table: Alpha Beta Gamma boom 15% 28% 1% normal 6% 12% 3% recession -12% -30% 20% (Please show your intermediate processes, instead of...

1.         Using the Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply logic of Chapter 10, suppose that at first, the economy is at long-run equilibrium, on both the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves (in other words, unemployment is at the Natural Rate of Unemployment). Then, government spending rises with no change in taxes.    A.        What happens in the short-run to output (Y) and the prices of goods? Explain why using Aggregate Demand and Supply logic (you don’t need to draw the graphs unless you...
