a) Which of the following would a classical macroeconomist disagree with?
The interest rate is the price of time or productivity of capital
Nominals effect nominals
Recessions are caused by an over production of all economic goods
Prices should be as flexible as possible
Effective demand comes from prior supply
b) Which of the following is true?
The expected costs and returns for holding money are important for estimating the demand of real cash balances
The difference between nominal GNP and real GNP is that nominal GNP has been adjusted by a price deflator to account for changes in the value of money (inflation)

Interest is the price of money
The real money supply is equal to the nominal money supply divided by the real money supply

hypothetical country:

- Consider an economy in which the LM and IS functions are given below. Suppose the economy is purely classical so that yt=ý (you can see in picture) Then these equations can be condensed to LM mt - pt = y + c2Rt + εt, c2 < 0 IS Rt = r + Et(pt+1 - pt) + nt For simplicity, delete εt. Then assume that the monatery authority creates money according to MP mt = u0 + u1t + et Assume that et and nt are white noise and find the solution for pt and then for Rt.arrow_forwardConsider the monetary intertemporal model. Payments can be made with either credit cards or with money, and we denote the amount of transactions in real terms with credit cards as X. The bank is willing to supply credit card services as a function of Xs(q) where q is the cost per unit of credit. The money supply is given by Ms and the goods market and the labour market are as we described in the real intertemporal model Assume that the government introduces a tax on credit card services. That is, if a consumer or a firm holds a credit card balance of X, they are taxed tX where t is the tax rate. Determine the effects on the equilibriums price and the quantity of credit card services, the demand for money, and the price levelarrow_forwardConsider the following numerical example of the IS-LM model: C = 200 + 0.25YD I = 150 + 0.25Y - 1000iG = 250 T = 200 i = .05 a.

- Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. The economist proposes the following relationship: P=A×MP=A×M • P=Price LevelP=Price Level • M=Money SupplyM=Money Supply • A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time.A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time.
