1) Start with an initial AD-AS model with the below full-employment equilibrium. Please label all the axes and the curves. Label the equilibrium as "1".
2) Let's say the Fed would like to use a policy to recover the economy. What kinds of policy the Fed has to use? Please note that the Fed would like to have the full employment equilibrium for the economy. Make sure to indicate the policy's name, the direction of the policy (e.g. increase or decrease of whatever the tools that they are using), the details of the tool, and the details of the channels. You may want to indicate what happens to the economy after the policy as well.
3) After the policy, what happens to which curve(s)? Make sure to show the changes in the above AD-AS model. Indicate the new equilibrium as "2". Show the movement into your graph and explain the change clearly.
4) Therefore, what happens to the equilibrium and the economic condition? Explain all the changes in quantity and price in writing.
