A6 “Commodity-rich Australia is one of the very few countries to receive an economic growth upgrade by the International Monetary Fund, after the global outlook was slashed due to war in Ukraine and soaring inflation.” (Financial Review, 11 April 2022). “Australia’s economy has received a boost from the surge in the price of commodities such as gas, iron ore, coal and wheat”, said IMF division chief for Australia, Harald Finger. a. Assume that Australia’s economy is in its medium-run equilibrium (i.e. Y_t = Y_n and u_t = u_n) where Y_t represents the level of output in year t; u_t is the unemployment rate in year t; u_n is the natural rate of unemployment. Use the multiplier model diagram to illustrate the impact on Australia’s GDP from an increase in net export due to increase in commodity prices. Show the output gap in your graph.

Economics The following graph shows exports from Japan as a function of the exchange rate. Exports from Japan Exports from Japan EXPORTS (Yen) Referring to the graph, why does the line showing exports from Japan slope downward? O The lower the price of the yen in terms of dollars, the lower the exports from Japan into the United States. O The higher the price of the yen in terms of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan into the United States.
