Change in overall investor confidence will impact the macroeconomy. Here we will model an increase in investor confidence, holding all else constant, and use the AD/AS model to look at how fiscal policy can try and smooth out the business cycle. Our shock in this question will be investor confidence increases, holding all else constant. Let’s start with assuming the US was producing at the full-employment level of output (Yp) with an arbitrary price level (P) […]
