Consider 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 level
Suppose that the government wants to raise investment but keep output constant. According to the IS-LM model, what mix of monetary and fiscal policy will achieve this goal? Explain your policy recommendations. Illustrate your policy bundle in the IS-LM model.
In the goods-and-services market actual inventories have started to rise above optimal inventories. What could have happened to autonomous money demand to bring this about? Explain and diagrammatically represent your answer. In doing so, be sure to explain and diagrammatically represent what happens to the rate of interest, investment, and Y. In explaining what happens to Y, be sure to fully explain the equilibrium process in the simple Keynesian model

- Consider an IS-LM model. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply by 5 percent. But the price level also increases increase by 10 percent. A) What will be the change in LM curve? What will be the change in equilibrium interest rate and output? Explain properly using a graph? B) What will be the change in the AD curve? (Hint: first derive the AD curve from IS-LM modeland then consider whether AD will shift to the left or right given the change in LM curve) Given that the SRAS curve is horizontal, what will be the impact of change in AD on price level?arrow_forwardConsider the AD/AS model with a constant inflation rate. It is possible that the money supply is rising while interest rates are unchanged because... a. Declining interest rates cause the investment demand curve to shift to the left, which causes interest rates to rise back to their original level. b. The rising price level increases money demand, offsetting the impact of the rising money supply. c. The rising price level decreases money demand which pushes up interest rates. d. Declining interest rates cause the investment demand curve to shift to the right, which causes interest rates to rise back to their original leve. e. The money transmission mechanism does not apply in a situation of sustained inflation.arrow_forwardUsing the macro model we learned in this class (MP-IS and AD-AS framework) consider the current crisis. Consider the monetary policy responses to the covid pandemic crisis. Develop separate analysis for an economy which have positive policy rates vs an economy which is at the zero lower bound. Would it require different monetary policies? If so how? What would you expect to happen to the inflation rate, unemployment rate, and economic growth in the near future? Use graphs for each case.arrow_forward
- According to the logic of the investment demand curve in the IS model, which of the following statements is correct? Select one or more: Oa When R is equal to F, monetary policy is neutral and investment as a share of output Y is at the level determined by a,Y. O b. When R is equal to F, monetary policy is neutral and investment as a share of output Y is 0. The value of F is determined the marginal product of capital, a supply side feature of the economy Od. When R is greater than F, monetary policy is stimulating total spending.arrow_forwardA) Suppose that the economy has a recessionary gap. Use the Keynesian transmission mechanism to explain fully how the Bank of Canada can use an easy money policy to remove the recessionary gap. Assume a closed economy. Illustrate your answer with graphs. B) An easy money policy was deemed to be very ineffective by Keynes. Provide three reasons why Keynes felt that an easy money policy may be ineffective.

- Use the IS-LM model to answer this question. Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in taxes and reduction in the money supply. Explain what effect this particular policy mix will have on output and the interest rate. Based on your analysis, do we know with certainty what effect this policy mix will have on investment? Explain.arrow_forwardIf money demand does not depend on income then the IS/LM model predicts that there would be no crowding out of investment if government expenditure is increased. True or false?arrow_forwardAn economy with constant prices is described by an extended IS-LM model - that is, by an IS-LM model based on the following additional assumptions: - The central bank can set the real rate r, that therefore becomes the "policy rate" determined by monetary policy, and keeps it at the chosen level- Spending decisions (in particular investment decisions by firms) depend on the "real borrowing rate" r+x, sum of the real policy rate and the risk premium (x). Starting from an initial equilibrium position, suppose that the government cuts net taxes T and that at the same time the risk premoium x goes down. The central bank changes the policy rate to prevent these changes in T and x from affecting equilibrium production, that therefore remains unchanged. In the move from the initial equilibrium to the one that will be reached following the changes in x, T and r described above, the "real borrowing rate" r+x will have gone up, down or will have remained unchanged? Explain why.arrow_forward
- The monetarists/new classical economists argue that, "given that the economy is inherently stable,stabilisation is unnecessary and uncalled for". What is the Keynesians' counter argument to this?arrow_forwardQuestion 2Explain fully how the AS/AD model is an update of the Keynesian model. Provide a graph of the equilibrium income in the Keynesian model, and compare it with a graph of the equilibrium income in the AS/AD model. Why are negative supply shocks much more harmful to an economy compared with negative demand shocks? Compare the policies which can be used to address negative demand shocks with policies to address negative supply shocks.arrow_forwardExplain if, and why, you agree, or do not agree, with the following statement [when answering, assume that, in each time period, the economy is described by a static IS-LM model, with consumption and investment depending on contemporaneous variables only]:"In a closed economy wherke the central bank chooses the money supply, the prices of stocks at time t, €Qt, will unambiguously rise if, from time t onwards, government purchases of goods and services, G, go up".arrow_forward
