Suppose Congress decides to increase government spending and taxes by equal amounts. Use the IS-LM AD-SRAS-LRAS model to illustrate graphically the short run impact of the increase in government spending and taxes on output and interest rates, prices, consumption, unemployment rate and investment in short run. Explain clearly which curve would shift and why. What will be the long run impact of this increase in government spending and taxes on output and interest rates, prices, consumption, unemployment rate and investment. Show the appropriate movement of curves both for the short run and the long run. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. The initial equilibrium values; iv. The direction the curves shift; and v. the short run equilibrium values and vi. The long run equilibrium values.

How can the Fed keep the economy from falling into a recession/boom due to the increase in government spending and taxes? Use a second IS-LM-SRAS-LRAS model to illustrate graphically the impact of both fiscal policy of increase in government spending and taxes and the monetary policy which prevents output from falling/rising. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. The initial equilibrium values; iv. The direction the curves shift; and v. the terminal equilibrium values.

Use the Mundell-Fleming model (draw the appropriate graphs and show on the graphs as well) to predict what would happen to aggregate income, the exchange rate, and the trade balance under both floating and fixed exchange rates in response to the shock of a sudden decrease in exports in a small open economy.
