Finance

Suppose scientists invent robots that can replace workers and work much faster. This significantly reduces the cost of production.

1. (6 points) Summarize how all the endogenous variables change, i.e. output, consumption, price, interest rate and investment. Make sure you your graphs are labeled clearly and are consistent with each other.

Now consider a second type of supply shock in which the cost of production is increased due to increased wages.

  1. (6 points) Draw a consistent set of graphs and summarize how all the endogenous variables change. Again, make sure you your graphs are labeled clearly and are consistent with each other.

  2. (6 points) The federal government finds the Feds response inadequate and decides to intervene by reducing tax. Copy the graphs from the last question (1), and draw a consistent set of graphs after incorporating the reduction in tax.

  3. (2 points) What is the combined effect of the Fed and governments response on interest rate? What does it mean for investment?

  4. (2 points) How does the level of output compare to the initial level before all the changes the economy has gone through?
