  1. Much economic news we read about can be reinterpreted into our “M v = P Y” Take each of the following news headlines below and determine that event changes (increase or decrease) in: M or v or P or Y based on your understanding of monetary theory.  You answer each situation by simply listing the one variable from the equation you think has changed—only ONE.  Use and upward or downward arrow next to the one variable to indicate if the change was an increase or decrease.

 

    • “Deposits in U.S. banks fell in 2015.”

    • “American businesses are spending faster than ever.”

    • “Prices of most consumer goods rose 12% last year.”

    • “Workers produced 4% more output per hour last year.”

    • “Real GDP increased 32% in the last decade.”

    • “Deflation grips the economy and households put off shopping”

    •  “A hyperinflation grips the US and people try to spend before prices rise.”

    •  “A banking panic erupts and people hold more cash at home.”
