9. Which of the following will result in expansionary monetary or fiscal policy being the LEAST effective in increasing real GDP? A. The LRAS curve has a negative slope B. Aggregate demand is less elastic than aggregate supply C. Wages and prices are very flexible and change quickly in reaction to policy changes D. The SRAS curve is perfectly elastic
Occasionally, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)sets a policy designed to “track” the interest rate. This meansthat the FOMC is pursuing policies designed to keep the interestrate constant. If, in fact, the Fed were acting to counter anyincreases or decreases in the interest rate to keep it constant,what specific actions would you expect to see the Fed take if thefollowing were to occur? (In answering, indicate the effects ofeach set of events on Y, C, S, I, Ms, Md, and r.)a. An unexpected increase in investor confidence leads to asharp increase in orders for new plants and equipment.b. A major New York bank fails, causing a number of worried peo-ple (not trusting even the FDIC) to withdraw a substantialamount of cash from other banks and put it in their cookie jars
Assume Canadian consumers expect future income to rise. Starting from the natural rate of output, explain with a graph how this expectation will affect the interest rate, inflation rate and real GDP in the short-run. Also show and explain how the bank of Canada can help take the inflation rate back to its original target?
In the goods-and-services market actual inventories have started to rise above optimal inventories. What could have happened to autonomous money demand to bring this about? Explain and diagrammatically represent your answer. In doing so, be sure to explain and diagrammatically represent what happens to the rate of interest, investment, and Y. In explaining what happens to Y, be sure to fully explain the equilibrium process in the simple Keynesian model
Now, consider an economy in which the demand for money is of the formY / (1 + it) for t = 0, 1, 2, · · · , where output is 150 and it denotes the nominal interest rate inperiod t. The real interest rate, denoted r, is constant and equal to 4%. In period0 and 1, the money supply is 100 and people expect that money supply wouldbe 100 forever. People have rational expectations. In period 2, the central banksurprises people and sets the money supply will grow at 2 percent forever, that is,M0 = 100, M1 = 100, M2 = (1.02)M1, M3 = (1.02)M2, and so on. A . Find the inflation rate, nominal interest rate, real money balance in period 1,and expected inflation in period 2, given the information available in period1, π1, i1, M1 / P1 and, E1π2. B . Find the inflation rate, nominal interest rate, real money balance in period 2, and expected inflation in period 3, given the information available in period 2, π2, i2, M2 / P2 and E2π3. C .

Suppose the economy is experiencing a recession. If the Federal Reserve enacts expansionary monetary policy, interest rates will likely Multiple Choice rise causing investment to increase. fall causing investment to increase. fall causing investment to decrease. rise causing investment to decrease.
Suppose the Federal Reserve ("the Fed") shifts to a contractionary monetary policy by selling bonds through open-market operations. Assume that this policy is unanticipated. This problem will work through the short-run effects of this move. The following graph shows the money demand and money supply curves. Show the effect of the Fed's contractionary monetary policy by shifting one or both of the curves, and ignore any potential feedback effects. As a result of the Fed's policy, the interest rate to INTEREST RATE (Percent) 15 24 0 0 300 600 Money Supply 900 Money Demand 1200 1500 1800 QUANTITY OF MONEY (Billions of dollars) Money Demand -0- Money Supply The following graph shows the demand for investment. Show the short-run effect of the Fed's contractionary monetary policy by shifting the curve or moving the point along the curve. Again, ignore any potential feedback effects. Be sure the new interest rate corresponds to the interest rate you have on the top graph. INTEREST RATE…
If the economy is in a long-run equilibrium when the Federal Reserve decides that its inflation target is too low and chooses to raise it, ________. A) it would likely conduct a tightening of monetary policy by raising the real interest rate for any given inflation rate B) it would likely conduct an easing of monetary policy by lowering the real interest rate for any given inflation rate C) it would likely conduct an easing of monetary policy where the real interest rate would increase due to the ensuing decrease in aggregate demand D) it would likely conduct a tightening of monetary policy where the real interest rate would increase due to the ensuing increase in aggregate demand E) none of the above
Explain how increases in the real interest rate affect the quantity of real money balanced demanded. (Graphically illustrate)
