C = 100 + 0.5 · (Y – T) I= 500 – 1000 - r where Y is real output and r is the real interest rate. Government purchases and taxes are G = 500, Ť = 100. The LM (money market equilibrium) curve is M_Y where P is the price level and i is the nominal interest rate. The Central Bank (CB) is initially supplying M = 8000 units of money, and expected inflation is aª = 0. Assume that the long-run equilibrium level of output is Y = 2000. Short-run equilibrium output is initially at the same level (Y = 2000). Suddenly, news of a new world-beating super-vaccine raises expected inflation to = 0.05. 1. Suppose the government (not the CB) wants to stabilise the shock in the short-run. Explain whether it should increase the government deficit (AĞ > AŤ) or reduce it (AĞ < AT), and how it works. 2. Now suppose the government doesn't do anything, and the CB wants to stabilise the shock in the short-run. Explain whether it should decrease or increase money supply M if it wants to bring output Y back to its long-run equilibrium level. What would happen to the nominal and real interest rate in the short-run, if the CB follows this policy?

In the IS/LM model, if the Keynesian expenditure multiplier is 2.76, the investment sensitivity to interest rates is 10, the income elasticity of money demand is 0.2 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is 3, then the monetary policy multiplier with respect to income is 3.2 -0.12 0.12 -3.2
Discuss briefly the liquidity preference theory (LFT) and differentiate it from the loanable funds (classical) model of interest rate determination. Differentiate the equation of demand for real money balances in the Keynesian model based on the LFT from the equation of demand for real money balances in the classical model based on the quantity theory of money, by providing their respective money demand equations.
Q7) At T1, an economy is in long-run equilibrium at a real interest rate of 4%, a price level of 100, and with an expected inflation rate of 0%. If in T2 the actual price level is 95, then in that time period: A) r = 4%, i = 4% B) r= 9%, i -1% C) r= -1%, i 4% Dr= -1%, i 9% 1
The Fisher equation implies the real interest rate equals expected inflation expected inflation equals current inflation the nominal interest rate equals the real rate of inflation plus expected inflation the rate of inflation equals the real minus the nominal rates of interest none of the above
Do not type in dollar signs or round any of your answers. In year one, the money supply (M) is equal to 500, the velocity of money (V) is 5, and the price level is 1.0. According to the equation of exchange, in year 1, nominal and real GDP are both equal to In year 2, the money supply is increased to 530.4 and velocity is unchanged. If the economy grew at the rate of 4 percent, real GDP in year 2 is equal to while nominal GDP in year 2 is equal to As a result of the Fed's decision to increase the money supply from 500 to 530.4, the price level rose from 1.0 to indicating that the inflation rate was percent.
In the IS/LM model, if the Keynesian expenditure multiplier is 2.76, the investment sensitivity to interest rates is 10, the income elasticity of money demand is 0.2 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is 3, then the monetary policy multiplier with respect to income is O 3.2 O-0.12 O 0.12 O -3.2
Assume that the demand for real money balance (M/P) is M/P = 0.6Y-100i, where Y is national income and i is the nominal interest rate (in percent). The real interest rate r is fixed at 3 percent by the investment and saving functions. The expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth. If Y is 1,000, M is 100, and the growth rate of nominal money is 1 percent, what must i and P be?
