Question 1:

Suppose individuals in the economy are infected with optimism, and they expect that total factor

productivity will be much higher in the future. Determine the equilibrium effect of this using the

monetary intertemporal model. Can waves of optimism and pessimism explain the key facts of the

business cycle? What should the FED do to keep prices stable?

Question 2:

Many have suggested that recent increases in prices are the result of supply chain shortages. Suppose

that we all expect this issue to be temporary. In our framework, it can be represented by a decrease in

current total factor productivity. Use the monetary intertemporal model to show whether supply chain

shortages can cause inflation.

Hello my spreadsheet rubric is attached it is based on the units below for college math SpreadSheet Assignment, based on Lecture 6.1 Calculating Market Share Lecture 6.2 Calculating Rate of Change Lecture 6.3 Calculating Trend Lecture 6.4 Sum and Average Functions

There are two graphs, depicting two markets: (1) market for full-service restaurants, (2) market for take out restaurants. Our goal is to analyze, using what you have learned, the effect of this new health regulation on the two markets.

You have to address the questions in order, starting with the market for full service restaurants.

1. Label clearly the supply and demand curves, S and D. (10%)

2. In the text, indicate clearly what side of the market is affected, supply or demand, by underlining or circling the relevant term. (20%)

3. In the text, indicate clearly by filling in the space provided the reason for the change and/or the connection between the markets (why does the change in the price or quantity of one good affect demand or supply of another good; for example, the goods are substitutes in consumption, or one good is an input in the production of the other, etc.) (20%)

4. Once you decided which side of the market is affected and how, show on the graph the new supply or demand curve, labeling them S’ or D’, and indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity, pe’ and qe’. (30%)

5. In the text, fill-in the blank spaces with upward/downward pointing arrows to indicate what happens with equilibrium price and quantity. (20%)

Continue with the next market.

Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD.

Develop an essay discussing the fiscal and the monetary policies adopted and implemented by the federal during the Great Recession and their impacts on the U.S. economy.

Your paper should be structured as follows

1. Cover page with a running head

2. Introduction: What is the economic meaning of a recession?

· A brief discussion of fiscal policies

· A brief discussion of monetary policies

3. Conclusions: Discuss the extent to which the use of demand side policies (fiscal policy and monetary policy) during the Great Recession of 2008 has been successful in restoring economic growth and reducing unemployment

Responses should be short and concise (approximately 10 sentences for each)

1. Identify and briefly explain the five risks common to financial institutions.

I’m working on a macro economics question and need guidance to help me understand better.

Your paper (response to questions) should be a minimum of 500 words total. You are asked to use at least two outside resources, which should be listed in a simple bibliography (URL) so that others may go to those sites. Try to include the bibliography with your original posting to minimize total entries. At least two (or more) URL references should be included.

I would ask you to consider these questions. The same guidelines that we have used for the other discussion boards will apply. Again, I am asking for your opinion informed by the attached information as well as your own research.

1. In your own words, why did the debt problem occur?

2. Is it better for our economy to allow free market forces to govern our financial services or should there be more regulation by the Federal government and the Federal Reserve?

3. Should consumers be more protected by better laws or should the idea of “consumer beware” apply in these markets? Has unfair, predatory lending been taking place at the expense of the borrower?

4. Should government help the large banks and brokerage firms and “bail them out” of these bad loans?

5. How much help should be given to consumers who have lost jobs due to the pandemic. Is there a limit to the amount of public debt?

6. Does the Federal Reserve have too much power? Did they overstep their authority in the ways that they have dealt with the problem?

7. What is your opinion of “moral hazard” concerns?

8. What “safeguards” have been put in place since the 2008 crisis? Should they be relaxed, today? What limits are being imposed as we respond to the Covid crisis.

9. What similarities do you see between the near financial collapse in 2008-2009 and our current pandemic? What are the main differences?
