At time t=0, R$= 10%, R€= 10%, and E$/€=Ee $/€ = 1. Assume that due to a sudden change in preferences, aggregate money demand in Australia temporarily increases (for any R$ and real output Y) at t=1.
At time t=0, R$= 10%, R€= 10%, and E$/€=Ee $/€ = 1. Assume that due to a sudden change in preferences, aggregate money demand in Australia temporarily increases (for any R$ and real output Y) at t=1. Assume that the Reserve Bank of Australia responds by temporarily increasing money supply to prevent any changes in R$.
In addition, assume the following: 1. The change in money supply was not anticipated at t=0 2. Prices are fixed in the short run but flexible in the long run 3. Output is always fixed at Y 4. R€= 10% at t=1 5. At t=2, aggregate money demand and money supply in Australia are back at their respective levels at t=0 6. A temporary change in money supply or money demand has no effect on prices in the short or long run 7. Ee $/€ = 1 at time t=1 and t=2
Select the most appropriate option:
A. E$/€=1 at t=1 and E$/€>1 at t=2
B. E$/€>1 at t=1 and E$/€=1 at t=2
C. E$/€=1 at t=1 and t=2
D. E$/€>1 at t=1 and t=2
E. E$/€<1 at t=1 and t=2
