You are required to answer ALL questions below. Question 1 (625 words) Discuss the problem of using the unemployment rate as the sole indicator to infer the performance of the labour market. What other useful labour market indicators can be used to supplement your assessment of the health of the labour market? Question 2 (625 words) The Australian government promised to increase national infrastructure spending in the 2018 federal budget (for more information, go to https://www.budget.gov.au/2018-19/content/overview.html and click on Building Australia in the right panel). What is the likely long-run effect on the level of productivity in Australia?  Use the general equilibrium model to illustrate and explain the long-run effects of this national infrastructure plan on the labour, product and capital markets. For ease of exposition, assume that the Australian economy is at full employment and faces a downward-sloping labour demand curve, a vertical labour supply curve and a perfectly inelastic savings curve.  [This is for illustration purpose only, you are not expected to comment on the details included in the diagram] Question 3 (625 words) The centrepiece of the 2018 federal budget is a personal tax cut for the low and middle income households (for more information, go to https://www.budget.gov.au/2018-19/content/overview.html and click on Overview in the right panel). Use the income-expenditure framework to assess whether the tax cut is able to increase the level of output and consumption of the economy in the short run. In your discussion, consider the effect of the marginal propensity to consume. [You can use either the closed economy version or the open economy version of the income-expenditure framework. Please explain your choice clearly in your discussion.]         Question 4 (625 words) Booming housing market and stockmarket have generated an increasing level of wealth in Australia. Use the ADI-IA diagram to illustrate the dynamic effect of this demand shock from the short run to the long run. Assume that the economy is initially positioned at equilibrium with full-employment (Yf) and an inflation target rate (π*). After you've delivered your macroeconomic analysis, the RBA governor decides to leave the inflation target rate unchanged and requests your advice on whether further monetary policy intervention is needed. What is the cost of monetary policy inaction on the economy? Assessment Criteria All questions need to be structured in the form of a self-contained, short essay. Each question is marked out of 20.
