Use a graph below to illustrate this change, being sure to label all curves, axes, and equilibria: b. According to the Aggregate Supply / Aggregate Demand model and the discussion of fiscal policy in class, balancing the current Federal budget should be (EXPANSIONARY, CONTRACTIONARY), and should cause the value of money to (RISE, FALL) and the unemployment rate to (RISE, FALL). c. Explain your answer in part b, using a graph and a sentence or two. Label all curves and axes. Turn over for Extra Credit Questions 7
8 EXTRA CREDIT (UP TO 5 POINTS). ANSWER ONE OF THE TWO QUESTIONS BELOW. XCa In 1993 the Federal government combined a tax increase and budgetary restraint to reduce the Federal budget deficit. There followed a robust economic expansion with low inflation. Using a few sentences AND THE AS/AD MODEL (being careful to explain any curve shifts that you employ), explain the low-inflation prosperity of the mid-to-late 1990s. XCb.

Graph should show a demand decrease. XCa. There was an outward shift of AS for many reasons, including increased foreign and domestic investment in the US economy due in part to increased investor optimism that the Federal government was going to be fiscally responsible. Other factors the maturation of the baby boom as workers, increased productivity due to computers and the internet, rapidly improving technology, and other factors. XCb. Volcker was attempting to reduce inflationary expectations, which would reduce the rate of growth of nominal wages and therefore shift the short-run Phillips curve to the left and the short-run AS curve to the right. 2
