2.1 Does the money demand curve have a positive slope ora negative slope? Why does it have this slope? Explain why an increase in the variable on the vertical axis of the money demand curve causes either an increase or a decrease in the variable on the horizontal axis of the money demand curve. 2.2 Give an example of a monetary policy target. Explain why the Fed uses policy targets.

Consider the model of supply and demand for central bank money. Assumethat there there are commercial banks. Suppose that people hold 20% of their moneyin currency and 80% of their money in deposits. The central bank sets the reserve-todeposit ratio at 10%. In the first period, the central bank increases the supply of moneyby $200, buying bonds through Open-Market Operations. Use this information to answerthe following questions:(a) For the second period (after the central bank has injected $200 in theeconomy), calculate: (i) the demand for currency, (ii) the amount of deposit held atthe commercial banks, (iii) the demand for reserves held at the central bank, and(iv) the demand for the high-powered money. How much is the additional moneysupply created at the end of the second period?2(b) How much is the additional money supply created at the end of the thirdperiod?(c) As time continues, additional money supply will be created.

Suppose the central bank is following a constantmoney-growth-rate rule and the economy is hit witha severe economic downturn. Use an aggregate supply and demand graph to show the possible effects onthe economy. How does this situation reflect on thecredibility of the central bank if it maintains the moneygrowth rule? How does it reflect on the central bank’scredibility if it abandons the money growth rule torespond to the downturn?
