Discuss the following questions in 1 paragraph each:
Why/how has Covid-19 led to a global economic recession?
While the originating place of Covid-19 was China, why do you think Western countries have experienced a sharper economic recession than China?
As per the definition(s) of recession that we discussed in Chapter 13 of the Econoomy from CORE, do you think Afghanistan is currently in a recession?
The graph below is associated with a hypothetical country. Consider a decrease in aggregate demand (AD). Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to
the left from AD to AD₂, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at each price level. For instance, at a price level of 140, output is now $200
billion, where initially it was $300 billion.

- When a recession begins and ends is determined by the Business Cycle Dating Committee (chaired by our textbook author Robert Hall) within the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The NBER concluded that the unprecedented magnitude of the decline in employment and production, and its broad reach across the entire economy, warrants the designation of this current pandemic-driven episode in the nation as a recession.

- (Note: All your answers should be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Example: 12.034 =>12.03, 5.175=>5.18) For each of the following situations, use an AD/AS model to describe what happens to price levels and output in the United States in the short run. In each case assume the economy starts in long- and short-run equilibrium, and show the appropriate shifts in the AS or AD curves. Suppose that the AD and AS curves are given as: AD: AS: P=6.1-0.2 Y(GDP) P= -1 +0.15 Y(GDP) Using Excel create a spreadsheet with the column headings Y, AD,JAS, G, and T. Let's start with no change in G, and T. Fill in the spreadsheet's cells for Y= 19.0 to Y= 21.0 in increments of 0.1. What is the equilibrium GDP? What is the equilibrium P? Now, there is a decrease in Tax (T), i.e., tax cut by $1 (trillion). It is assumed that an 1 unit decrease in T shifts the AD curve to the right by 0.08 units.

Given this model, which FIVE of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: A. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the equilibrium solution for Y is given by Y = m(c0 + I), where m = 1/(1 - c1) is the multiplier.
