Suppose the current level of real GDP lies below potential real GDP. According to the Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply Model, an appropriate Monetary Policy would be to: O Increase the money supply, which increases interest rates, ultimately increasing aggregate demand. O Increase the money supply, which decreases interest rates, ultimately increasing aggregate demand. Decrease the money supply, which increases interest rates, ultimately decreasing aggregate demand.

Why is it so difficult to "fine-tune" the American economy using discretionary macroeconomic policy? a) To be effective in stabilizing the economy, the impact of macroeconomic policy must be well timed, else the policy might instead destabilize the economy. b) Often it takes months for economists to recognize the macroeconomy's major shift in direction. c) Expansionary monetary policy depends on the willingness of banks to lend to people willing to borrow, and in a recession people may be reticent to borrow and banks to lend. d) In the American political system it is very difficult to pass any legislation quickly, and fiscal policy usually involves significant political trade-offs. e) All of the above
A decrease in government spending or an increase in taxes will: a) shift the money supply curve to the right b) shift the money supply curve to the left c) shift the money demand curve to the left d) shift the money demand curve to the right
A monetary policy that reduces the amount of money and loans in the economy is a contractionary monetary policy or a “tight” monetary policy. A monetary policy that expands the quantity of money and loans is known as an expansionary monetary policy or a “loose” monetary policy. Tight or contractionary monetary policy that leads to higher interest rates and a reduced quantity of loanable funds will reduce two components of aggregate demand. Conversely, a loose or expansionary monetary policy that leads to lower interest rates and a higher quantity of loanable funds will tend to increase business investment and consumer borrowing for big-ticket items. If loose monetary policy seeking to end a recession goes too far, it may push aggregate demand so far to the right that it triggers inflation. If tight monetary policy seeking to reduce inflation goes too far, it may push aggregate demand so far to the left that a recession begins. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain…
Which of the following is true: An decrease in the price level raises money demand and decreases the interest rate. A higher interest rate reduces investment and, thereby, the quantity of goods and services demanded. An increase in the money supply will ultimately lead to the aggregate demand curve shifting to the left. A decrease in the money supply will ultimately lead to the aggregate demand curve shifting to the right.
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 * 16^0.6 / L^0.5 w = EP / P0 * L^0.5 Where workers currently expect the price level of EP=2. 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 + b*I where a and b are parameters (numbers). 1. How does the monetary…

According to the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, in the long run a decrease in the money supply leads to A) decreases in both the price level and real GDP. B) an increase in real GDP and an increase in the price level. C) a decrease in the price level but does not change real GDP. D) an increase in the price level but does not change real GDP.
It is not possible for the total value of production to increase unless the money supply also increases. After all, how can the value of the goods and services being bought and sold increase unless there is more money available.explain the assertion using the equation M = money supply, V = velocity of money, P = price level, Y = real GDP.
Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. The economist proposes the following relationship: P=A×MP=A×M • P=Price LevelP=Price Level • M=Money SupplyM=Money Supply • A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time.A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time. How might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level?
