EXERCISE 10.9 LIMITS ON LENDING
Many countries have policies that limit how much interest a moneylender can charge on a loan.
Do you think these limits are a good idea?
Who benefits from the laws and who loses?
What are likely to be the long-term effects of such laws?
Tips:
For Question 2, you may think about how a low interest rate would affect the poor and those who owe huge debts.
For Question 3, you may think about how it would affect the profitability of the banking sector and the supply of lending (will lenders be encouraged to lend more?), and what implications it may have for "credit rationing" (being credit constrained).
Calculate the percentage change of
each of these three components of M2
(not included in M1) from the most
recent month of data available to the
same time one year prior. Which
component has the highest growth rate?
Repeat the calculations using the data
from January 2010 to the most recent
month of data available, and compare
your results. Use your answers to
determine which grew faster:
April April January
2014 2013 2010
Small Time
126
917
1510
Deposits
Savings/MMDA 1241 132o 2310
Retail MMMF
967
1041 2814
Non-M1 M2
4537 3452 2310
The following equations describe an economy. (Think of C , I , G , etc., as being measured in Billions and I as a percentage; a 5 percent interest rate implies I = 5.)
C= 0.8(1 - t )Y
T=0.25
I=900-50i
-G=800
L = 0.25Y-62.5i
-M/-P= 500
a. What is the value of aG which corresponds to the simple multiplier (with taxes) ?
b. By how much does an increase in government spending of ∆G increase the level of Income in this model, which includes the money market?
c. By how much does a change in government spending of ∆G affect the equilibrium Interest rate?
d. Explain the difference between your answers to parts a and b.

It was -0.0172 percent per year-less than zero. While there would be fees to pay, the bank would also pay interest to her. It was just a little over $1 a month, but still.
