ון רבSuip Reset the graph and click on the blue square to apply a negative supply shock the the economy. Then adjust the movable point to view the effects of potential policy responses to the negative supply shock. Use what you observe to answer the questions that follow. a. In response to the effects of a negative supply shock, policymakers decide to decrease aggregate demand. What are the effects of this choice? O an increase in aggregate output, and an increase in the aggregate price level an decrease in aggregate output, and an decrease in the aggregate price level an increase in aggregate output, and an decrease in the aggregate price level an decrease in aggregate output, and an increase in the aggregate price level b. What are the overall tradeoffs with regard to this choice? Policymakers have chosen to fight inflation by increasing AD, but this further reduces aggregate output and makes the recession worse. Policymakers have chosen to fight inflation by decreasing AD, but this…
You have been hired as a Marco Economist by the President of the United States to help evaluate the recentannouncement by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke that the FED will be increasing interest rates again.Ben Bernanke has justified the move on the grounds that the economy continues to be strong.

Suppose an economy is in long-run equilibrium.a. Use the model of aggregate demand andaggregate supply to illustrate the initialequilibrium (call it point A). Be sure to includeboth short-run aggregate supply and long-runaggregate supply.b. The central bank raises the money supply by5 percent. Use your diagram to show whathappens to output and the price level as theeconomy moves from the initial equilibrium to thenew short-run equilibrium (call it point B).c. Now show the new long-run equilibrium (call itpoint C). What causes the economy to move frompoint B to point C?d.

In the basic New Keynesian model, suppose that there is an increase in government spending. • First, suppose that the central bank does nothing (accommodates the shock). Illustrate onthe graphs and explain what will be the effects on inflation and output? • Second, suppose that economy initially has inflation equal to the central bank’s inflationtarget and an output gap of zero. What action do you expect the central bank wouldundertake? Illustrate you answer on the graph and explain. PLEASE SHOW ALL HAND WRITTEN STEPS AND WORK!
