Consider the US economy in the last couple years, in particular before the current crisis impacted the economy. An important issue in the last couple years was the possible scenarios and escape paths for the FED from quantitative easing. a. Because the economy was heating up, banks begin to reduce the ratio of reserves relative to deposits (i.e. they lend out a larger fraction of their deposits.) Describe and illustrate how this will affect (i) the money supply and (ii) aggregate demand (if at all). b. Assuming no policy intervention, describe what happens to inflation and output in the short and in the long run. c. Suppose that the FEDs objective is to stabilize the price level at the level prior to the economy heating up. Should it intervene in response to banks changing their lending decisions? How could the FED intervene via open market operations? d. In conjunction with open market operations, the FED decides to change the amount of interest it pays on reserves. How would it want to change the interest rate it pays on reserves? How would this affect banks' lending decisions? Would this affect the monetary base or the money multiplier?

2. Outline the three monetary policy instruments the fed can implement if its objective is to cool off an economy suffering from high inflation.
Introduction to Macroeconomics Required Reserves and the Money Multiplier When a bank receives a deposit, it must set aside part of it according to the established reserve requirement. The remaining funds are excess reserves and can be lent out, In our economy of multiple banks, it is very likely that the proceeds of the loan will end up on deposit at another bank. When that happens, the process repeats itself: The bank sets aside required reserves and can lend out its excess reserves. The result is the money multiplier process. Use the table that follows to learn more about this process. The table begins with an initial deposit of $1,000 to one bank and assumes a required reserve ratio of 15%. Assume the amount lent by one bank is always deposited in another. 1. Calculate the amount of required reserves, excess reserves, and lending at each step in the process. The first boxes of the table are filled in to get you started. Continue until you have filled in five rows of numbers. 2. Now…
What are the three instruments of monetary control? Explain. Why does the Federal Reserve prefer to use open market operations? Explain. How can the Federal Reserve use its open market operations to expand or contract the nation’s money and credit supply? Explain in some detail. Describe the workings of the Federal Open market Committee which controls monetary policy. Give a detailed account of how monetary policy works to change interest rates, aggregate demand, and the macroeconomy.
For the last time, consider an economy described by the following information: Demand deposits total $200,000 Cash in bank vaults totals $50,000 • The public holds cash of $36,000 US government bonds held by banks total $6,000 Banks' deposits in the Fed total $22,000 Let's say that one bank in the economy has $60 in excess reserves and that there are enough banks in tesal for the full multiplied money creation process to take place. Calculate the amount (the actual amount, not the maximum) that the entire banking system -- all banks working together -- will create in new money, using these ER as your starting point. Carefully follow all numeric directions, including those related to rounding.

Suppose the Fed decided to sell $100 billion worth of government securities in the open market. Assume all payments are directly deposited into or withdrawn from the banking system. What impact would this action have on the economy? Specifically, answer the following questions. Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. If the lending capacity or aggregate demand falls be sure to include a negative sign (-) with your answer. b. By how much will the banking system’s lending capacity change if the reserve requirement is 20 percent? d. By how much will aggregate demand initially change if investors change their behavior because of this change in available credit?
