- According to rational expectations economists, as a result of an increase in aggregate demand due to an expansionary monetary policy, real output and employment would not increase because said policy would be offset by higher prices and Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

The economy is initially in macroeconomic equilibrium with a real interest rate of 3% and an output gap of 0%. That is, the economy is operating at its potential. Using the Fed model linking the IS-MP framework with the Phillips curve, draw a graph showing the effect of the following shock: A severe recession impacts most of Western Europe, where several of the US most important trade partners are located. Your graph should clearly indicate the conditions both before and after the shock.arrow_forwardStart with AS/AD and IS/MP in full employment equilibrium. Assume the is a massive positive aggregate demand shock. How would this affect AS/AD and IS/MP and prices and output relative to the full employment level the models started at. With the help of the Phillips curve describe what happens to prices and unemployment. What kind of policy would the FED have to undertake to move the economy back to the full employment level of output. Describe what this monetary policy would do to output, prices and interest rates, and to employment and prices on the Phillips Curve.arrow_forward
- true or false Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored’). In this case, both short-run output and long-run output do not increase in response to a permanently higher inflation target.arrow_forwardgiven the graph and The current target inflation rate in 8 percent.

- Consider a standard AD-AS model. If the central bank responds relatively aggressively to inflation being below target, temporary supply shocks have relatively little effect on output. True/False. Remember to include your explanation.arrow_forwardSuppose an economy is characterized by the following three equations: where the first equation is an aggregate-supply function written in the form of an expectations-augmented Phillips curve, the second is an IS or aggregate-demand relationship, and the third is a money-demand equation, where ∆m denotes the growth rate of the nominal money supply. The real interest rate is denoted by r and the nominal rate by i, with Let the central bank implement policy by setting i to minimize the expected value of Assume that the policy authority has forecasts ef , uf , and vf of the shocks but that the public forms its expectations prior to the setting of i and without any information on the shocks. a.
