Question

Use the AD-AS model to explain the short-run and long-run effects on inflation (), output (Y), the real interest rate (r), consumption (C), investment (I), and net exports (NX) of the following, include both diagrams and a written explanation:

a. a permanent increase in taxes ((bar) T rises)

b. the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy ((bar) r rises)

c. there is a temporary (one-time) increase in autonomous investment ((bar) I increases one-time and then falls back to its original level)

Include in each of your answers, a box with what happens to each variable in period one and in the long run. Compare the period 1 results to the initial values of the variables and the long-run results to the initial values of the variables.
