2) The below five graphs show the development of key macroeconomic variables over the scope of three years in a certain country. Use them to draw an IS-LM-PC graph that captures the development in this country. Explain carefully what has happened. G Y t 3) China currently (2016) has a household saving rate of about 36 %. It has never been below 27 % in the last 30 years. What role do you think this high saving rate has for China's economic success? It has been argued that the low standard of living in many less developed countries depend on their poor institutions. Explain carefully what kind of "institutions" this argument refers to. 4) 5) The Swedish Fiscal Policy Council discusses public debt policy in a low interest environment in their latest report. The argue that "there are strong arguments in favour of low public debt despite low interest rates.

Assume that an economy operates according to the sticky-wage model. The nominal wagewas set to make labor supply and labor demand equal when the expected price levelequaled 120 (as measured by the consumer price index).a. Use a graph of the labor market to illustrate what happens to the quantity oflabor employed if the actual price level over the time period when wages arestuck equals 110.b. Use a graph of the production function to illustrate how the quantity of outputproduced changes if the actual price level equals 110 when the expected pricelevel is 120.c. Given the unexpectedly low price level, will this economy be operating above,below, or at the natural rate?

How do increases in technology affect the aggregate production funclion? O A. With better technology, the aggregate production function shifts down because fewer workers are neoded O B. Even with technology increases, the aggregate production function will remain constant unless the technology increases are matched by increases in the physical capital stock. O C. As technology increases, diminishing marginal product sets in such that each unit of technology produces less output O D. With increases in technology, the aggregate production function shitfts up, indicating more output is produced from the same amount of inputs.

Let's say that Americans decide that home ownership isn't worth it anymore; instead, they all just move in with their parents. If Americans quit buying homes, this will cause AS to shift leftward due to a drop in consumption AS to shift leftward due to a drop in economic investment AD to shift leftward due to a drop in consumption AD to shift leftward due to a drop in economic investment is a venent policy ait illaue by a computer. Ine interest rate, amount to buy or sell in open market operations, etc., are all determined by an equation put into the computer. This approach is not supported by any American economists based on discretion O called rule-based policy described by all listed options
