Suppose that the income elasticity of money
demand is 0.4. Nominal interest rates do not
change over time. If money supply increases by
20% every year, while real income only increases
by 1%, what is the inflation rate?
The income elasticity of money demand is ny = 0.7 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is n₁ = -0.06. Suppose
that the central bank increases the money supply by 2.6%, real income increases by 2% and inflation is 3%. What is the
percentage increase in the nominal interest rate?
-0.3 (or -30%)
0.3 (or 30%)
-0.1 (or -10%)
0.1 (or 10%)
The interest rate increases from 10% to 12% and GDP falls from 110 to 100 and money supply is growing by 2% - find the impact on inflation. What growth rate of money is required to have zero inflation. Income elasticity is 0.5 and interest rate elasticity is -0.1
Use the equation
delta p/p = delta Ms / Ms – (delta md/md)

- A standard "money demand" function used by macroeconomists has the form In(m) = Po + B₁In(GDP) + B₂R, Where m is the quantity of (real) money, GDP is the value of (real) gross domestic product, and R is the value of the nominal interest rate measured in percent per year.

According to the Quantity Theory of Money, by how much must the Federal Reserve grow the money stock in order to hit its inflation target?

- Consider an economy with constant nominal money supply M=100, constant real output Y = 100, and constant real interest rate r = 0.1. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is 0.5 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is -0.1. Also assume that expected inflation is zero and does not change (Te = 0). This implies that the nominal interest rate is equal to the real interest rate. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if output increases to Y = 120, money supply doubles but r remains at 0.1?

This year, the money supply increased by 6 percent, real GDP by 4 percent, and nominal GDP is $6.5 billion. a) Calculate the velocity of money and the price levels in the two years, and then calculate the inflation rate. b) Calculate the inflation rate using the formula AM/M + AV/V = AP/P + AY/Y, where the Greek letter A represents a change and the ratio AM/Mx 100 is the percentage change (or the rate of change) in M. Compare this result with the result you obtained in part a. Why could there be some difference? c) What is the difference between commodity money and fiat money?
