Question 6 Assume that, for some reason, the productivity in an economy is below its long-run trend. Explain why this economic situation could be consistent with an “inflation shock” in the short-run model. Your explanation should include a conclusion about whether this shock would be positive or negative. Explain how the central bank might respond to this shock in the IS-MP model with the goal of keeping inflation constant. Specifically, draw an IS-MP diagram and include IS and MP curves for the time period during this shock. (You can assume inflation expectations are adaptive and that the central bank knows the shock values.) Would your answer in part (2) change if there was also a negative demand shock during this time?

Question 8 Suppose the Bank of Mexico (which is Mexico’s central bank) increases the real interest rate in Mexico above its long-run level for three periods. Before this, Mexico’s real interest rate was at its long-run level. Explain why/how this would influence the U.S. economy through exchange rates. Assume that, before the Bank of Mexico made this change, the U.S. economy was in steady state, with output at potential and inflation at the central bank’s target. Depict what happens in the U.S. using the AS-AD diagram, assuming adaptive expectations. Describe what happens to inflation and output in your graph.In addition to the curves asked for by the instructions on the cover page, please include the curves “”, “”, “”, and “”, which are the aggregate supply and demand curves in the second and third periods during which the Bank of Mexico has increased the real interest rate in Mexico.Your graph should include a label with 0 on the horizontal axis and
