Explain if, and why, you agree, or do not agree, with the following statement [when answering, assume that, in each time period, the economy is described by a static IS-LM model, with consumption and investment depending on contemporaneous variables only]: "In a closed economy wherke the central bank chooses the money supply, the prices of stocks at time t, €Qt, will unambiguously rise if, from time t onwards, government purchases of goods and services, G, go up".

If foreign wealth-holders decide that the United States is the safest place to invest their savings, what would the effect be on the economy here? Show graphically using the AD/AS model.
Assume an economy is currently operating at point A and answer the following question. Q. What key policy recommendations would you make for an economy like this one that is currently operating at point A? Illustrate using the IS-LM model how the policy recommendations you provide will impact the economy. On your diagram indicate the new point that the policy takes the economy to and label this as point B.
Urgentttt!!! Use the IS-LM model to answer this question. Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in government spending and reduction in the money supply. Explain what effect this particular policy mix will have on output and the interest rate. Based on your analysis, do we know with certainty what effect this policy mix will have on investment? Explain.
7 Assume that initially everyone expected the price level to stay the same when the Federal Reserve announces that it will reduce the rate of money growth in one year. People now expect prices to rise less quickly. Use the AS/AD model to explain what happens to prices at the time of the announcement. Use either a graph or equations of the model.
answer c and d Suppose that the following system of equations describe the macroeconomy of a hypothetical country: Y= C(y)+I(i)+G : IS or goods market M/p=L(i,y) : LM or money market b) Taking money supply and government expenditure as exogenous and the price level as fixed, determine and provide economic intuition for the signs and magnitudes of the following multipliers dY/dG and di/dG c) For a simultaneous increase in both the interest elasticity of investment and interest elasticity demand for money parameters, determine the net effect on the values of the multipliers in part b). d) For a horizontal LM curve, determine the numerical values of your answers in part b) above if: Marginal propensity to consume=5/6 Tax rate=0.25 Interest elasticity of investment=5 Interest elasticity of demand for money=50 Income elasticity of demand for money=2 answer c and d only
What happens in the AD-AS model when the Federal Reserve buys government securities?
Suppose that the economy can be described by a closed-economy IS-LM framework and that is in a recession. Assume that the IS curve is relatively steep while the LM curve is relatively flat. If you were to advise the policymakers on which action to take, what would be your advice? Show graphically.
Use the IS-LM model to answer this question. Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in taxes and reduction in the money supply. Explain what effect this particular policy mix will have on output and the interest rate. Based on your analysis, do we know with certainty what effect this policy mix will have on investment? Explain.
What are the financial frictions and how do they affect the IS curve? Whatrole do financial frictions play in starting or intensifying recessions?
Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. The economist proposes the following relationship: P=A×MP=A×M • P=Price LevelP=Price Level • M=Money SupplyM=Money Supply • A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time.A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time. How might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level?
Consider an IS-LM model. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply by 5 percent. But the price level also increases increase by 10 percent. A) What will be the change in LM curve? What will be the change in equilibrium interest rate and output? Explain properly using a graph? B) What will be the change in the AD curve? (Hint: first derive the AD curve from IS-LM modeland then consider whether AD will shift to the left or right given the change in LM curve) Given that the SRAS curve is horizontal, what will be the impact of change in AD on price level?
If interest rates on bank loans increase, then what will happen to the planned aggregate expenditure function? What will happen to the equilibrium condition line? How will this impact the level of planned aggregate expenditures? And, how will this impact the level of real GDP?
