Assume the inflation rate is 6% and there is every indication that price levels will continue to rise. The Fed should engage in which policy with respect to open market operations: Buy bonds Sell bonds. Increase reserve ratio Decrease reserve ratio
Suppose there is an increase in the demand for money due to a change in transactions costs, preferences, or expectations. Explain the effect on the demand for bonds, the interest rate, the price of bonds, the quantity of bonds per period, the impact on real GDP, and on the price level.
C = 100 + 0.5 - (Y –T) I = 500 – 1000 - r where Y is real output and r is the real interest rate. Government purchases and taxes are Ĝ = 500, Ť= 100. The LM (money market equilibrium) curve is M Y where P is the price level and i is the nominal interest rate. The Central Bank (CB) is initially supplying M = 8000 units of money, and expected inflation is xª = 0. Assume that the long-run equilibrium level of output is Y = 2000. Short-run equilibrium output is initially at the same level (Y = 2000). Suddenly, news of a new world-beating super-vaccine raises expected inflation to “ = 0.05. 3. Continue to suppose the government doesn't do anything, and the CB wants to stabilise the shock in the short-run but instead of output, the CB wants to bring the nominal interest rate i back to its long-run equilibrium level. Explain whether it should decrease or increase money supply M, and what happens to short-run output Y and the real interest rate r if this policy is followed. 4. Suppose the CB…
Scenario: The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) left its key repo rate unchanged at a 14-year high of 8.25% during its July 2023 meeting, matching expectations, and marking a pause in its tightening cycle after 10 consecutive rate hikes. However, the Governor noted the decision does not represent the end of the hiking cycle neither that interest rates have peaked, and the next steps will depend on inflation. Policymakers expect lower inflation this year at 6% (vs 6.2%), mainly due to softer food and core prices, although upside risks still hold. Headline inflation fell to 5.4% in June, back to the central bank target of 3%-6% for the first time in 14 months and is forecast to sustainably revert to the 4.5% by the third quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, policymakers raised growth forecast for this year to 0.4% from 0.3% but noticed that energy and logistical constraints continue limiting economic activity and increasing costs. Growth forecast for 2024 and 2025 were kept steady at 1% and 1.1%,…
The liquidity trap occurs when the demand for money Group of answer choices increases when interest rates fall. decreases when interest rates fall. is perfectly interest inelastic. is perfectly interest elastic.
Why has the FOMC maintained federal funds rate at their current level of 0 - 0.25% in its recent meeting on 16-17 March? What could be three possible explanations for this keeping in view the current conditions of the economy?
Consider an economy with constant nominal money supply M=100, constant real output Y = 100, and constant real interest rate r = 0.1. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is 0.5 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is -0.1. Also assume that expected inflation is zero and does not change (ne = 0). This implies that the nominal interest rate is equal to the real interest rate. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if output increases to Y = 120, money supply doubles but r remains at 0.1? O A. 90% О В. 50% О С. 3% O D. 0.9%
The interest rate increases from 10% to 12% and GDP falls from 110 to 100 and money supply is growing by 2% - find the impact on inflation. What growth rate of money is required to have zero inflation. Income elasticity is 0.5 and interest rate elasticity is -0.1 Use the equation delta p/p = delta Ms / Ms – (delta md/md)
If life expectancy rises because people begin to eat food containing fewer preservatives and chemicals, we would expect Demand for funds to decrease Supply of funds to increase ON Demand for funds to increase Supply of funds to decrease
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.

Markets are ignoring this guidance, with the start of the interest rate hiking cycle starting to be priced into the later part of 2022, just 12 months from now, and around two years before the RBA reckons it will need to move. Recall the current official cash rate is 0.1 per cent. The market is pricing in a 0.5 per cent cash rate by the middle of 2023, 1.0 per cent by the end of 2023 and with further increases through 2024.” Use the dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate supply model to explain the type and how to implement monetary policy and the effects of the monetary policy of the Reserve Bank of Australia according to the statement mentioned above.
