If the economy is in a long-run equilibrium when the Federal Reserve decides that its inflation target is too low and chooses to raise it, ________. A) it would likely conduct a tightening of monetary policy by raising the real interest rate for any given inflation rate B) it would likely conduct an easing of monetary policy by lowering the real interest rate for any given inflation rate C) it would likely conduct an easing of monetary policy where the real interest rate would increase due to the ensuing decrease in aggregate demand D) it would likely conduct a tightening of monetary policy where the real interest rate would increase due to the ensuing increase in aggregate demand E) none of the above
In the monetary intertemporal model, assume that money supply is always fixed. Suppose that there is an increase in real wage. How does this change affect interest rates (both real and nominal), price level, employment, total factor productivity and equilibrium output? Carefully explain your answers. b) Suppose that, in a liquidity trap, bank reserves are less liquid than government debt. If the Central Bank conducts an open market purchase of government debt, what is the effect on price level? Use an appropriate set of diagram to explain your answer.
Monetary Policy: End of Chapter Problems 9. An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium with an unemployment rate of 5% when the government passes a law requiring the central bank to use monetary policy to lower the unemployment rate to 3% and keep it there. The central bank can achieve this goal in the short run by pursuing an expansionary - monetary policy. In the accompanying diagrams, shift the AD, LRAS, and/or SRAS curves and move the equilibrium point to its new position to illustrate the short-run and long-run changes when the central bank pursues this policy.

3. Suppose the monetary policy curve is given by r = 1.5 +0.75 , and the IS curve is given by Y = 13- a) Find the expression for the aggregate demand curve. b) Calculate aggregate output when the inflation rate is at 2%, 3%, and 4%. c) Plot the aggregate demand curve and identify the three points from part (b).
A country's central bank is engaging in monetary contraction, with M going from M0=40 to M1=20. Its economy is as follows. Goods: slc = 3 MPC = 0.7 G = 10 T = 9 Before the policy, the goods market equilibrium is at Y0 = 54. Financial: I = 18-200r Before the policy, the loans market equilibrium is at r = 4.25% and I = 9.5 Money: M0 = 40 P0 = 2 M/P = 0.02 / (r - Y/5000)^2 and finally, Labor: w = MPL = 0.5 * 4.5 * 16^0.5 / L^0.5 w = EP / P0 * L^0.5 Where workers currently expect the price level of EP=2. How does the monetary contraction directly and immediately affect the goods market? There are four endogenous variables that adjust in response to shock/policy: Y, I, r, P. The policy variable of interest is M. Therefore, let's approach our solution by first recognizing that all other letters are just constants and plug them in. For example: Y = 2 + 0.5(Y-6)+7+I becomes Y = 12 + 2*I First, express the goods market as expenditure being a linear function of investment I of the form: Y = a…

Suppose that an economy has a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y = 1500, and a constant real interest rate r = 0.05, and it’s expected rate of inflation is 2%, i.e, πe = .02. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is ηY = 0.5 and the interest elasticity of demand ηi = –0.2. (a) Suppose that Y decreases to 1425, r remains constant at 0.05 and there is no change in the expected rate of inflation. What is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (b) Suppose that r increases to 0.06 and Y remains at 1500. Assuming that expected inflation remains at πe = .02, what is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (c) Suppose that r increases to 0.06. Assuming that πe = .02, what would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value?
If the economy has rational expectations and the model is sticky price model. Could you explain why the following statement true in macroeconomics?
Boblandia produces no oil. It starts at potential GDP with inflation equal to the Central Bank's inflation target. Boblandia then sees a significant increase in the price of oil. Which of the following is true (according to our models) if the Central Bank engages in inflation targeting? The Central Bank will enact expansionary monetary policy. This action will put upward pressure on read GDP. The Central Bank will enact expansionary monetary policy. This action will put downward pressure on read GDP. The Central Bank will enact contractionary monetary policy. This action will put upward pressure on read GDP. The Central Bank will enact contractionary monetary policy. This action will put downward pressure on read GDP.

16. Keynes (1936) argued that, from a policy perspective, everything that can be achieved by a nominal wage cut can be more effectively achieved through an appropriate monetary policy. (a) Does this statement hold in the deﬁcient-demand Keynesian model for a negative shock to (i) aggregate demand and (ii) aggregate labor productivity? (b) Does this statement hold in the new Keynesian model for a negative shock to (i) aggregate demand and (ii) aggregate labor productivity?
