7. Suppose the central bank expands the money supply, but because the public expects this action, it simultaneously raises its expectation of the price level. What will happen to output and the price level in the short run? Compare this result to the outcome if the central bank expanded the money supply but the public didn't change its expectation of the price level.

Question 7. Suppose there is an exogenous increase in the price of oil in an economy. a. Use the aggregate demand and supply model to illustrate and examine the impact of the oil-price increase on output, employment and the price level in both the short run and the long run. b. If the Bank of Canada cares about keeping output and employment at their natural-rate levels, what is the policy response of the Bank of Canada? What is the impact of policy response on the price level? Use the aggregate demand and supply model to explain your answer. Please illustrate the answers using figures with aggregate demand and supply curves. Please also briefly explain the answers in words.
3. If the economy is at the natural rate of unemployment with the level of real GDP at potential output, what would expansionary fiscal or monetary policy do to the economy? How would the economy be affected in the short run and long run?

The graph shows the demand for money curve and the supply of money curve. The Fed decreases the quantity of real money supplied to $3.9 trillion. Draw a new MS curve that shows the effect of the Fed's action. Label it. Draw a point at the new equilibrium quantity of money and interest rate. Before the Fed decreases the quantity of money, the equilibrium interest rate is percent a year. After the Fed decreases the quantity of money, at an interest rate of 4 percent a year, people want to hold money than the quantity supplied, so they bonds.

25. Suppose an economy exhibits a large unexpected decrease in productivity growth that lasts for a decade. However, monetary policymakers are slow to recognize that the change is to potential, not current, output and interpret the decrease in output as a recession that leads current to fall below potential output. In this scenario, policymakers believe that building and incorrectly respond by interest rates, sending the economy into a(n) pressures are gap. a. inflationary; raising; inflationary b. inflationary; reducing; inflationary c. inflationary; raising; recessionary d. recessionary; reducing; inflationary e. Not enough information is given.
3. Changes in the money supply The following graph represents the money market for some hypothetical economy. This economy is similar to the United States in the sense that it has a central bank called the Fed, but a major difference is that this economy is closed (and therefore does not have any interaction with other world economies). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 2.5% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, designated on the graph by the grey star symbol. INTEREST RATE (Percent) 4.5 4.0 6 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 Money Demand + 0.1 Money Supply 0.3 0.5 0.6 MONEY (Trillions of dollars) 0.2 0.7 0.8 New MS Curve New Equilibrium ? Suppose the Fed announces that it is lowering its target interest rate by 75 basis points, or 0.75 percentage points. To do this, the Fed will use open- market operations to the money by the public. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the previous graph to illustrate the effects of this policy by placing…
