Suppose the economy is in recession. Policymakers estimate that aggregate demand is $100 billion short of the amount necessary to generate the long run natural rate of output. That is, if aggregate demand were shifted to the right by $100 billion, the economy would be in long run equilibrium. a.Explain the impact on the economy if the government chooses to use fiscal policy to stabilize the economy and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is given as 0.75 with no crowding out. b.If there is a crowding out effect and investment is very sensitive to changes in the interest rate, should the government increase spending more or less than this amount?

Suppose the economy is currently in short-run equilibrium at point L. In this case, the economy is producing at an output level above its potential output. At current prices and wage levels, real wages are above what firms and workers expected when they agreed on wage contracts. In the long run, if the price level and the nominal wage are both flexible, wages will rise, which will cause the SRAS curve to shift to the right. Assuming the other two curves do not change, the economy will reach a new equilibrium at an output of $5 trillion and a price level of 60.
