Consider the following Curves: • MP-Curve: r = 1.0+ 0.5 * T • IS-Curve: Y = 12 - 0.5 * r • AS-Curve: π = 2.0+ 0.75* (Y- 13.5) Note by the absence of any supply shocks so far (i.e. in the above AS-Curve p = 0 at first). Part a) Calculate the initial equilibrium. Is this a stable equilibrium? (Hint: look at the value for π²) Part b) Now consider a negative supply shock, i.e. suddenly p = -1.5. What is the new equilibrium?
