In its announcement, the RBA Governor refers to “the importance of returning inflation to target.” As part of your Policy Brief, explain what is meant by the inflation target and how does an inflation target contribute to good economic management? Based on the news updates that we discussed in our lectures and tutorials throughout this course, what are some factors that are currently contributing to inflationary pressures in Australia and globally, and which part of the AD-AS model are these factors affecting?

-). What is your advice to the investor if the economy faces inflationary pressure?
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present new challenges to the Australian economy. The Treasury has announced that they continue to support the economy by adding $41 billion in direct economic support, bringing total support since the beginning of the pandemic to $291 billion as of May 2021. Using a AD-AS graph, illustrate how this support would impact on economic growth and inflation in the short and long term
The recent rising food and energyprices in the US (and other countries) has led to the biggestincrease in inflation in many countries since the 1980s. The following questions relate to the macroeconomic causesand consequences of this for policymakers. Using an AD-AS analysis,illustrate and explain the effect of these rising prices on (i) inflation, and economic growth. If you were a policy maker in the US at the moment, what economic policies would you suggest to help overcome these issues for the US economy? Specifically: a)What type of policy or policieswould you use? Explain your reasoning. b)How do you implement these policies (i.e. explainthe mechanisms throughwhich they affectAD and/or AS)? c)Illustrate on an AD-AS diagram the effect you hope these policies would have on inflation and GDP for the US economy i
Aggregate demand function is given by Y=7000-20P; the short-run aggregate supply function is given by Y=6000+5(P-Pe). The economy was in equilibrium when the government unexpectedly increased its spending which led to a shift of the aggregate demand curve to Y=7500-20P. What's the rate of inflation? Please illustrate the calculations by means of an AS-AD graph.
As the Federal Reserve sharply raises rates in the face if substantial inflationary pressures, economists are trying to gauge the extent to which the U.S. labor market is slowing. First, how might you try to measure labor market slack? Second, across the business cycle, describe how the gap between whatever is true unemployment and a notion of “full” employment generally relates to inflationary pressures. Finally, relate this gap to the economy’s overall ‘output gap’ (actual GDP vs. potential GDP).
Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table: 2020 Price Quantity 2021 Price Quantity Tennis Balls Percentage Change $2 100 True $2 100 False Golf Balls Bottles of Gatorade $4 100 $6 100 Complete the following table by computing the percentage change in price for each of the three goods. $2 200 $3 200 Tennis Balls Golf Balls Bottles of Gatorade 0% 50% Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is 50 True or False: If you were to learn that a bottle of Gatorade increased in size from 2020 to 2021, that information would raise your estimation of the inflation rate. %
In a recent press conference of the Federal Reserve of the United States2, Chairman Powellincluded the following as part of the description of the economic situation in the US: “Bottlenecks and supply chain disruptions are limiting how quickly production can respond to the rebound in demand in the near term. As a result, overall inflation is running well above our 2 percent longer-run goal.” How can this situation be represented by the AD-AS framework (i.e. how have AD and AS curves shifted?) If the bottlenecks and supply chain disruptions are just temporary, what are expected to happen?
Please draw the Philips curve with a positive relationship between aggregate output and inflation and another that shows an upward shift in the whole curve (brief explanation please as trying to understand it (: )
The Aggregate Demand- Aggregate Supply (AD-AS) model can be used to illustrate that by choosing the right combination of measures (policies) it is possible for the economy to grow without it experiencing inflationary pressures. Discuss four supply-side measures that policy makers can implement to expand the economy without increasing the inflationary pressure in the country? (20

How do you think the GDP, the unemployment rate and the inflation rate are related to each other in the emerging markets? Do you think these relationships are different in the Turkish context? Explain. The interest rates are considerably higher in Turkey. How do you think the high interest rates affect the ĠDP, the unemployment rate and the inflation rate?
