Please pleaseee do this Question : For this question assume that the real money demand function is L(R, Y) = kY - hR where k > 0 represents the sensitivity of the money demand to income and h > 0 represents the sensitivity of the money demand to the interest rate. Suppose that these sensitivity parameters are not known for the economy of Macroland and there are two possibilities: it is either i) high k and low h, or ii) low k and high h. To understand which one of these two scenarios is correct you analyze a given policy change: an increase in the overall level of taxes. Using the AA-DD model, compare and contrast the short run effects of this policy change in Macroland under these two scenarios. Explain your results intuitively.
In this question, use the approximate formula-as given by the Fisher equation-for calculating the the real rate of interest. Assume a fixed real interest rate and everyone believes the Central Bank's forecasts. Believing that inflation will be 1% for the year, the current yield on a government bond that matures in one year is 2.9%. The Central Bank then revises its inflation forecast to 1.6% for the year. What will be the yield on government bonds maturing in one year after this revision? Round to one decimal place and do not enter the % sign. If your answer is 1.333%, enter 1.3. If your answer is 1.666%, enter 1.7. If appropriate, remember to enter the negative sign.
