If the Federal Reserve wanted use an open market operation to combat a recession, what would they do, and what would its effect be?
The Federal Reserve expands the money supply by 5%.
Draw an aggregate supply/aggregate demand diagram to show the short run effect of this scenario. What happens to price and output? Which curve shifts? Which component of that curve accounts for the shift?
Suppose government spending increases.
True or False: The effect on aggregate demand would be larger if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response than if the Fed
were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
True
False
The phenomenon that interest rates may be so low that increases in the money supply will have no impact on aggregate demand is called:
monetary incapacitation.
none of the other answers are correct

- After a series of measures to remedy the mortgage crisis that has beset the US economy, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and his colleagues are once again looking at cutting the central bank’s key interest rate as they hope that lowering the interest rates will give the economy a boost by encouraging investors and consumers to borrow and spend (Associated Press, n. pag.). The Fed is looking at slashing the interest rate by a full percent however, many economist believe that this is not the appropriate remedy for economic conundrum (Gavin, n. pag). According to many analysts, the issue of the economy regarding the mortgage is the lack of confidence by both the lender and the borrower. Even as the Fed resorts to drastic interest cuts, the first time the central bank has cut a full percentage point in one shot since 1982, this provides little help if lenders are not loaning money out of fear they will not be repaid and the borrowers…arrow_forwardSuppose a wave of negative “ animal spirits” overruns the economy, and people become pessimistic about the future.What happens to aggregate demand?

- The monetary policy rate is the rate at which the Central Bank of Ghana lends to commercial banks. The results from table 4.4.1 shows that the monetary rate in Ghana declined from 2019 to 2021, before rising in 2022. The decline in the monetary rate from 2019 to 2021 can be attributed to an expansionary monetary policy, which was implemented to boost the economy of Ghana by reducing unemployment. The rise in the monetary rate in 2022 is a sign of a contractionary monetary policy, which is intended to reduce money supply and increase the cost of borrowing. This can help control inflation but may also lead to lower economic growth due to reduced aggregate demand (consumption). Consumption which is a component of GDP, the decrease in Aggregate demand will lead to decrease GDP and economic growth at large. Digitalization has become the norm in all parts of life, including finance. Mobile money has acquired substantial acceptance in Ghana as a simple mechanism for fund transfers, payments,…arrow_forwardThe term liquidity trap describes a macroeconomic scenario in which low interest rates cause firms to shift toward capital and away from labor, increasing unemployment. an excess of cash is introduced into the economy, causing large levels of inflation. low interest rates cause people to hoard money, making output and employment stagnate. increased levels of imports cause a country to shift away from manufacturing, which leads to increasingly higher levels of imports.arrow_forwardSuppose government spending increases. Would the effect on aggregate demand be larger if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response or if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate?
