How does a temporary increase in government purchase affect the interest rate based on the money supply-demand model? Why? Suppose we are having stagflation because of a supply shock. Please show the temporary increase in government purchases can restore the long-run macroeconomic equilibrium using a graph. What is the meaning of the crowding-out effect? Please show the short-run crowding out effect using a graph.
Suppose the Republic of Newbee fixes the value of its currency, the Nam, to the dollar. In the U.S., the inflation rate is higher than the target inflation rate set by the Fed. The Fed then decides to reduce the money supply in the U.S. How will Newbee be affected by this action by the Fed. Use the DD/AA model to explain and graph your answer. Based on your answers can the government of Newbee use fiscal policy to stabilize Newbee’s real GDP? Explain and graph using the DD/AA
