To make trading easier and eliminate the need for barter, the government directs the central bank of Gorgonzola to put into circulation 4,000,000 identical paper notes, called guilders. The central bank prints the guilders and distributes them to the people. At this point the Gorgonzolan money supply is 4,000,000 million guilders.In order to keep the money safe, some Gorgonzolan entrepreneurs set up a system of commercial banks. When people need to make a payment, they can either withdraw their guilders or write a check on their account. Checks give the banks permission to transfer guilders from the account of the person paying by check to the account of the person to whom the check is made out. With a system of payments based on checks, the paper guilders need never leave the banking system, although they flow from one bank to another as a depositor of one bank makes a payment to a depositor in another bank.…arrow_forward

As in the United States, this economy has a central bank called the Fed, but unlike in the United States, the economy is closed (that is, the economy does not interact with other economies in the world). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, as indicated by the grey star. 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 PRICE LEVEL 6.0 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 0 Money Demand 0.1 Money Supply 02 0.3 04 0.5 0.6 0.7 MONEY (Trillions of dollars) 0.8 New MS Curve ++ Suppose the Fed announces that it is lowering its target interest rate by 75 basis points, or 0.75 percentage point.
