If the government increases the expenditure, that will increase the income of the people in the market and that will lead to a higher demand in the market, as the prices are sticky the real wages in the market will fall. The nominal price of the goods in the market will increase. At a lower real wages the firm will be making a higher profit and they will invest and hire more people leading to higher employment and output in the market.
NO, this answer doesn't depend on the behavior of the central bank.
Suppose that the governemnt increases expenditure and that prices are completely sticky. Explain how this affects...
3. Suppose that prices are completely rigid, so that the nominal and the real interest rate are necessarily equal. Money-market equilibrium is therefore given b L(r,Y). a. Suppose that government purchases increase, and that the central bank adjusts the money supply to keep the interest rate unchanged. i. Does the money supply rise or fall? ii. What happens to consumption and investment? b. Suppose that government purchases increase, and that the central bank adjusts the money supply to keep output...
In the long run: O prices are sticky O real GDP is completely demand-determined. O increases in the supply of money lead to increases in real GDP O real GDP is determined by the aggregate supply
4. Suppose that we are in a world where short-term prices are sticky, but not fixed. The government decides to increase expenditure by 1 and increase taxes by .5. A) What will happen to output in the short-run? B) Describe the graphical impact that these policies will have within the AD-AS model. Represent them as a single adjustment please. C) What is the short-run impact on output and prices? D) What is the long-run impact on output and prices?
5. Suppose that instead of following the interest rate rule r=r(Y), the central bank keeps the money supply constant. That is, suppose M = M. In addition, suppose that prices are completely rigid, so that the nominal and the real interest rate are necessarily equal; money-market equilibrium is therefore given by M/= = L(r,Y). a. Suppose that the money market is in equilibrium when r = ro and Yo. Now suppose Y rises to Y). For the money market to...
Question 4) Consider an economy with two kinds of firms : Firms with sticky prices have ?? Firms with flexible prices ?? A) Derive the following SRAS that we discussed in the class. You have to explain your steps and assumption clearly ( 10 points) ?=?̅ + α (P – EP), Where α = s/[(1-s)a] , and s=0.5 is the fraction of firms with sticky prices; a=0.5 is just a parameter. ?̅= 200 B) How do you interpret the SRAS?...
Question 4) Consider an economy with two kinds of firms : • Firms with sticky prices have ps • Firms with flexible prices pf A) Derive the following SRAS that we discussed in the class.

2. Suppose that we are in a world where short-term prices are sticky, but not fixed. The Fed decides that it wants to increase output. A.) According to the Phillips curve, what is the short-run/long-run tradeoff that the Fed is making in this situation? (quid pro quo, Clarice?) B.) What must the Fed do to the money supply? C.) Describe the graphical changes that take place in the market for real money. D.) In the short-run, what happens to interest...
Consider a standard Keynesian economy with partially sticky prices. Suppose the economy experiences an increase in the precautionary money demand. Using graphs and written discussion, examine the economy dynamics in the wake of the shock. For full credit, be sure to address: • Capture the timing in your written discussion • If a curve shifts, explain why/economic intuition • If a market is in disequilibrium, explain how it returns to equilibrium • Explain, if possible, the final outcome in terms...
Describe an example of speculation in a market explain how speculation affects market prices. Use a supply and demand diagram as part of your explanation
Answer the following completely. Include examples where appropriate. (a) Explain the Central Limit Theorem. (b) How would you explain it to a student in a freshman-level statistics class? (c) How have we used it so far? (d) Which operations/calculations depend on it? In what way?
