Question 4 Discuss the following statements:
(a) According to the IS-LM model how would an increase of government spending affect equilibrium interest rates and income in a short-run closed macroeconomy.
(b) According to the Classical Model of the aggregate economy, changes in aggregate demand have no effect on the amount of output produced, only the average pricelevel may be affected.
(c) Crowding out through interest rates occurs when expansionary fiscal pol-icy causes interest rates to fall.
(d) The relative bargaining power of workers versus firms, and thus the ability of workers to “bid up” the wage rate, depends on the unemployment rate.
(e) According to the AS-AD model of the macroeconomy, expansions of the money supply are not “neutral” but rather they will have medium and long-term effects on output and employment.
(f) The natural rate of unemployment is unaffected by policy changes.
(g) The aggregate supply relation implies that an increase in output leads to an increase in the price level.
(h) The natural level of output can be determined by looking only at the aggregate supply relation.
(i) The aggregate demand relation implies that an increase in the price level leads to an increase in output.

32. The rational expectations hypotheses implies that discretionary macroeconomic policy is: a. relatively effective in both the short run and long run b. relatively effective in the short run but ineffective in the long run c. relatively ineffective in both the short run and long run d. effective in the long run since decision makers will continually make predictable, systematic errors 33.

please help me Consider the following numerical example of the IS-LM model: C = 100 + 0.3YD I = 150 + 0.2Y - 1000i T = 100 G = 200 i = .01 (M/P)s = 1200 (M/P)d = 2Y - 4000i Find the equation for aggregate demand (Y). Derive the IS relation. Derive the LM relation if the central bank sets an interest rate of 1%. Solve for the equilibrium values of output, interest rate, C and I. Expansionary monetary...

please answer Question 7:
Inflation targeting and the Taylor rule in the IS-LM model Consider a closed economy in which the central bank follows an interest rate rule. The IS relation is given by Y C(Y- T) I(Y,r) G Where r is the real interest rate. The central bank sets the nominal interest rate according to the rule i = i* + a(n° =- T*) + b(Y- Y1) Where T is expected inflation, T* is the target rate of inflation,...

In the 1930’s our main economic problem, said Keynes, was: a. too much government interference with the economy b. insufficient aggregate demand c. inflation d. huge budget deficits 3. Supply side economics stresses that: a. budget deficits will stimulate demand, output, and employment...
7) An increase in the price level will A) shift the aggregate demand curve to the left. B) shift the aggregate demand curve to the right. C) move the economy up along the aggregate demand curve.
