C = 100 + 0.5 - (Y – T) I= 200 – 1000 -r where Y is real output and r is the real interest rate. Government purchases and taxes are Ĝ = 300, T = 200. The LM (money market equilibrium) curve is P 101 where P is the price level and i is the nominal interest rate. The Central Bank (CB) is initially supplying M = 2000 units of money, and expected inflation is z“ = 0.02. Assume that the long-run equilibrium level of output is Ÿ = 1000. Short-run equilibrium output is initially at the same level (Y = 1000). Suddenly, news of a new world-beating super-vaccine raises the investment function to I = 250 – 1000 - r 1. Suppose the government (not the CB) wants to stabilise the shock in the long-run, meaning it wants the real interest rate to be the same as before the shock. Explain whether it should increase the government deficit (AĞ > AT) or reduce it (AĞ < AT), and how it works. 2. Suppose the government follows the policy you prescribed above. Explain how the economy would shift from its short-run to long-run equilibrium. In particular, what happens to output Y, the real interest rate r, and prices P during this process?

In the IS/LM model, if the Keynesian expenditure multiplier is 2.76, the investment sensitivity to interest rates is 10, the income elasticity of money demand is 0.2 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is 3, then the monetary policy multiplier with respect to income is 3.2 -0.12 0.12 -3.2
Continued monetary tightening 05 October 2022 The Monetary Policy Committee today increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.5% from 3.0%. The Committee agreed it remains appropriate to continue to tighten monetary conditions at pace to maintain price stability and contribute to maximum sustainable employment. Core consumer price inflation is too high and labour resources are scarce. Global consumer price pressures remain heightened. The global demand for goods and services is exceeding supply capacity, putting upward pressure on prices. Food and energy prices are being particularly exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. A recent decline in oil prices and an easing in some supply-chain constraints have seen headline inflation measures fall in some countries. However, core measures of inflation have risen and persist. Central banks are tightening monetary conditions, implying a weaker growth outlook for New Zealand's trading partners. In New Zealand, the level of domestic spending has…
Discuss briefly the liquidity preference theory (LFT) and differentiate it from the loanable funds (classical) model of interest rate determination. Differentiate the equation of demand for real money balances in the Keynesian model based on the LFT from the equation of demand for real money balances in the classical model based on the quantity theory of money, by providing their respective money demand equations.
Q7) At T1, an economy is in long-run equilibrium at a real interest rate of 4%, a price level of 100, and with an expected inflation rate of 0%. If in T2 the actual price level is 95, then in that time period: A) r = 4%, i = 4% B) r= 9%, i -1% C) r= -1%, i 4% Dr= -1%, i 9% 1
Supposed that followed by an unexpected discovery of new oil reserves there is a reduction in oil prices. What policy suggestion makes it possible to keep the inflation rate at its rate prior to the discovery without changing the target for federal funds rate? A)An increase in income taxes. B)An across the board decrease in corporate profit taxes. C)An open market purchase if reserves are scarce. D)An increase in ONRRP rate.
The Fisher equation implies the real interest rate equals expected inflation expected inflation equals current inflation the nominal interest rate equals the real rate of inflation plus expected inflation the rate of inflation equals the real minus the nominal rates of interest none of the above
With a policy of nominal GDP targeting, if the Fed expected 6% growth in real GDP and wanted an inflation rate of 2%, it would set a target for nominal GDP growth of 8% per year. True False
An economy has the following money demand function. 0.5 Y where the nominal interest rate is in percentage points. Nominal interest rate is 9 percent. (M/P) d = Suppose the announcement of a new head of the central bank, with a reputation of begin hard on inflation, decreases expected inflation rate by 8 percentage points. What is the new velocity of money? QUESTION 14 If, in the aftermath of the announcement, both the economy's output and the current money supply are unchanged, what happens to the price level? O 1.67 2.67 3.67 O 4.67
Do not type in dollar signs or round any of your answers. In year one, the money supply (M) is equal to 500, the velocity of money (V) is 5, and the price level is 1.0. According to the equation of exchange, in year 1, nominal and real GDP are both equal to In year 2, the money supply is increased to 530.4 and velocity is unchanged. If the economy grew at the rate of 4 percent, real GDP in year 2 is equal to while nominal GDP in year 2 is equal to As a result of the Fed's decision to increase the money supply from 500 to 530.4, the price level rose from 1.0 to indicating that the inflation rate was percent.
In the IS/LM model, if the Keynesian expenditure multiplier is 2.76, the investment sensitivity to interest rates is 10, the income elasticity of money demand is 0.2 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is 3, then the monetary policy multiplier with respect to income is O 3.2 O-0.12 O 0.12 O -3.2
Assume that the demand for real money balance (M/P) is M/P = 0.6Y-100i, where Y is national income and i is the nominal interest rate (in percent). The real interest rate r is fixed at 3 percent by the investment and saving functions. The expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth. If Y is 1,000, M is 100, and the growth rate of nominal money is 1 percent, what must i and P be?
Our formulation of monetary policy has thus far assumed that the central bank can set the nominal interest rate in accordance with the outcome determined by the Taylor rule. However, since 2008 many central banks have hit the zero lower bound on nominal inter- est rates, limiting the stimulus they can provide. Consider a modified Taylor rule which obeys = max{0, Tt; + p+07(T; – T) + Oy (Y – Yt)}. The "max" operator means that interest rates will take whichever value is larger, 0 or the value determined by the Taylor rule. Derive the dynamic aggregate demand curve under a normal Taylor rule and when the zero lower bound is binding. Provide some intuition for the differences between them
