Question
Chapter 14, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Financial frictions and how they enter in the IS/MP and AD/AS model.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Disruptions to the financial market are the reason for financial frictions. Financial frictions lead to shortage of liquidity and bankruptcy. The role of financial frictions in the financial crisis is evidenced in increasing spreads in yields between the financial securities.
The financial friction enters into the IS/MP diagram by making changes in the real interest rate. If the financial friction increases, the real interest rate would increase by shifting the MP schedule and reducing the short-run output. In the case of the AD/AS model, the increase in financial friction via increase in the interest rate leads to a leftward shift in the aggregate

Using AD/AS analysis, critically evaluate the problems economic policy makers may
face in response to a health pandemic that closes the economy for a period of time.
In your answer, use diagrams and focus specifically on the effectiveness of monetary
and fiscal policy and comment on the potential long-run implications of the pandemic
on the economy. The diagrams used should be your own and not taken from another
source.
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.
