To determine

Keynesian transmission mechanism and monetary transmission mechanism.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The Keynesian transmission mechanism states that an increase in money supply affects the aggregate demand through the changes in the rate of interest or exchange rates. This would mean that there is an indirect link between the money market and goods market through the rate of interest. In the given example, Researcher A follows the Keynesian transmission mechanism because he appears to get an indirect link between fatty foods and heart attack. That is, the fatty food affects X, Y, and Z of their body before a cardiac arrest occurs. On the other hand, the method followed by Researcher B seems to like the monetarist transmission mechanism. The monetarist transmission mechanism shows a direct link between the goods market and money market. Here, Researcher B looks only for the intake of fatty foods and cardiac arrest and little else rather than the step-by-step procedure as done by Researcher A.

Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs are given by c₁ (e₁) and C2 (е2), where e denotes emissions and subscripts denote the firm. We assume that c{(e) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂' (e). Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission e we have C₂'(e) # The regulator does not know the resulting C₁'(e) Τι environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform emissions standards. Discuss the cost-effectiveness of both approaches to control pollution.
Bill’s father read that each year a car’s value declines by 10%. He also read that a new car’s value declines by 12% as it is driven off the dealer’s lot. Maintenance costs and the costs of “car problems” are only $200 per year during the 2-year warranty period. Then they jump to $750 per year, with an annual increase of $500 per year.Bill’s dad wants to keep his annual cost of car ownership low. The car he prefers cost $30,000 new, and he uses an interest rate of 8%. For this car, the new vehicle warranty is transferrable.(a) If he buys the car new, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(b) If he buys the car after it is 2 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(c) If he buys the car after it is 4 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(d) If he buys the car after it is 6 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(e) What strategy do you recommend? Why?
