Briefly outline two reasons for a central bank choosing to purse a contractionary monetary policy, and indicate whether you consider that these apply widely at the present time.
Jim lost his job due to a leftward shift of the SRAS curve. He wants to know if the Federal Reserve system can help by doing expansionary (easy) monetary policy. Expansionary monetary policy will output (jobs) and overall prices in the short run. (We'll use this information again in the next question.) raise; raise O lower; raise O raise; lower O lower; lower
Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level increases from 150 to 175.
If the U.S. economy enters a new financial crisis, the government may use monetary policy tools to avert a financial meltdown. The government may utilize monetary policy tools to avert a financial collapse if the U.S. economy experiences another financial crisis. First, the Federal Reserve should operate as a lender of last resort and make loans to banks and financial institutions to meet their short-term obligations. When the risk of a financial collapse has receded, the government should revert to its traditional expansionary monetary policy. Open market activities of buying and selling assets on the open market is one action the government may use. Through open market operations, the government may increase the economy's liquidity by purchasing assets from banks and the general public. Reducing the discount rate, i.e. the interest rate at which the central bank provides short-term loans to banks, will result in a decrease in the rate at which commercial banks offer loans to the…
Consider the economy represented by the aggregate supply-aggregate demand graph below, which is initially at a short-run equilibrium at point A. How could monetary policy be used to improve the economy? Price level (GDP deflator. 2009-100) Pi IRASI SRASI AD₂ GDP GDP* Real GDP (trillions of 2009 dollars) Contractionary monetary policy could be used to increase economic growth. Expansionary monetary policy could be used to decrease prices. Expansionary monetary policy could be used to increase GDP to its potential. Contractionary monetary policy could be used to lower unemployment.
Suppose that the IS curve and monetary policy curve are given, respectively, by Y=200-4r and r=-n. 4 Solve for the aggregate demand curve. 1 100-Y 2 *=200- Y 0-1/2 x --Y 2 *= 200- =400--Y 0-1/y 4
A country's central bank is engaging in monetary contraction, with M going from M0=40 to M1=20. Its economy is as follows. Goods: slc = 3 MPC = 0.7 G = 10 T = 9 Before the policy, the goods market equilibrium is at Y0 = 54. Financial: I = 18-200r Before the policy, the loans market equilibrium is at r = 4.25% and I = 9.5 Money: M0 = 40 P0 = 2 M/P = 0.02 / (r - Y/5000)^2 and finally, Labor: w = MPL = 0.5 * 4.5 * 16^0.6 / L^0.5 w = EP / P0 * L^0.5 Where workers currently expect the price level of EP=2. - There are four endogenous variables that adjust in response to shock/policy: Y, I, r, P. The policy variable of interest is M. Therefore, let's approach our solution by first recognizing that all other letters are just constants and plug them in. For example: Y = 2 + 0.5(Y-6)+7+I becomes Y = 12 + 2*I First, express the goods market as expenditure being a linear function of investment I of the form: Y = a + b*I 1. How does the monetary contraction directly and immediately affect the…

After Ragnarok, output of Asgard is decreased since every god that rules the realm is dead. After his reincarnation Odin implemented expandatory fiscal policy by increasing government expenditures. Since Asgard cannot handle high interest rates and desperate for output increase, what kind of monetary policy should Vanir (gods responsible of wealth, central bank authorities of Asgard) implement? Explain and show the shifts on an IS-LM graph. (You can use the shapes option to create graphs in word.)
Which of the following is an appropriate monetary policy to combat a negative GDP gap? a. raise income tax rates b. increase government spending c. lower real interest rates d. raise real interest rates
What will be the effect of a decrease in money supply on the equilibrium real GDP and price level? To answer, draw the diagrams to illustrate the monetary transmission mechanism as the changes make their way through the models (money market) → (investment demand) → (Keynesian cross) → (AD-AS model), and describe the changes in words
