Maturity transformation decreases long-term investment by limiting the use of short-term deposits to short-term loans only. increases long-term investment by making it possible to extend long-term loans even when no savers are willing to make a long-term loan. increases long-term investment by convincing savers to promise they will not withdraw their money for the length of the loan. increases long-term investment by having investors take out a series of short-term loans successively, repaying each previous loan, until the long-term project is completed.arrow_forward
- Problem 2: Monetary Theory [13 Points] Suppose that an economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Suppose also that there is an increase in Aggregate Demand (AD) as a result of an increase in Net Exports (NX). 9. Does the economy enter an inflationary gap or a recessionary gap? Explain your answer using an AD-AS figure. [2 points] 10. What happen to Money Demand as a result of this shift in the AD-AS model. Does this create a surplus or shortage in the Money Market? Does this create a surplus or a shortage in the bond market? Explain your answer using a MD-MS figure. [3 points] 11. If the Central Bank wants to prevent further inflation, what action could it take? What does it need to do with the Money Supply (MS) to maintain equilibrium in the money market? Explain your answer using both an AD-AS figure and a MD-MS figure. [3 points] 12.

B. positive. C. negative. D. zero.arrow_forwardItem 22 of 25 Which of the following statements is most correct? Select the correct response: Flexibility is an advantage of short-term credit but this is somewhat offset by the higher flotation costs associated with the need to repeatedly renew short-term credit. short-term loan can usually be obtained more quickly than a long-term loan but the penalty for early repayment of a short-term loan is significantly higher than for a long-term loan. Short-term debt is often less costly than long-term debt and the major reason for this is that short-term debt exposes the borrowing firm to much less risk than long-term debt. Statements about the flexibility, cost, and riskiness of short-term versus long-term credit are dependent on the type of credit that is actually used.arrow_forward
