In the summer of 2010, Congress passed a far-reaching financial reform bill to attempt to prevent another financial crisis like the one that happened in 2008-2009. We will consider two scenarios related to this bill. 18. In the first scenario, suppose that by requiring firms to comply with strict regulations, the bill increases the cost of investment. Draw a graph showing the consequences of this scenario on the market for loanable funds. What is the result? 19. Now consider the second scenario: Suppose that by requiring firms to comply with strict regulations, the bill increases confidence that savers have with the financial system, making them more likely to save their money there. Draw a graph showing the consequences of this scenario on the market for loanable funds. In this scenario, which curve shifts, and what are the results?

[Related to Solved Problem 5.2A] An article on the American Express website observes that "often, an interest carry trade involves maturity mismatch, since longer-term lending typically carries higher interest rates than short-term." How might you be able to make a profit from the fact that long-term interest rates are typically higher than short-term interest rates? A. By borrowing short term and investing the funds long term. OB. By purchasing more short-term securities than long-term securities. OC. By borrowing long term and investing the funds short term. OD. By purchasing more long-term securities than short-term securities. Why, in practice, is it difficult for the average investor to make a profit from an interest carry trade? OA. The average investor does not have access to long-term investments, and can only access them through expensive brokerage arrangements. B. The average investor often overestimates inflation rates resulting in negative real returns on long-term…

Homework (Ch 23) 5. Impact of budget deficits The following graph shows the loanable funds market in the United States. It plots both the demand (D) for loanable funds and the supply (S) of loanable funds. At the current equilibrium, the government is operating with a balanced budget. Assume now that the financial industry is close to bankruptcy and the U.S. government decides to implement a bailout plan of several billion dollars without increasing taxes, causing a budget deficit. Show the effect of the budget deficit on the market for loanable funds by shifting the demand (D) curve, the supply (S) curve, or both. INTEREST RATE LOANABLE FUNDS Based on this model, the budget deficit leads to D $ 6 m D/ in the level of investment and in the interest rate.
Consider a period in which stock prices are very high, such that investors begin to think that stocks are overvalued, and their valuations are very uncertain. If investors decide to move their money into much safer investments, would this affect general interest rate levels? In your answer, use the loanable fund's framework to explain how the supply of or demand for loanable funds would be affected by the investor actions and how this force would affect interest rates
1) In the loanable funds market model, assuming everything else is constant, which curve (supply of funds or demand for funds) is affected if there is an increase in national saving? How will equilibrium real interest rate and equilibrium quantity of loans change as a result?
Scenario 1: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow workers to shelter a portion of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to accounts of this type is $6,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $6,000 to $9,000 per year. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds tofall and the level of investment spending toincrease . Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital within some relevant time period. Suppose the government implements a new investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. The implementation of the new tax credit causes the interest rate tofall and the level of saving tofall . Scenario 3: Initially, the government's budget is balanced; then…

One of the biggest problems for any economy is to figure out how to get or transfer money from people or firms who want to save (savers) to people or firms who want to borrow (investors). Explain how financial markets can help to solve this problem efficiently. Discuss how financial markets function and which tools they can offer to solve this problem. Discuss how financial systems are of crucial significance to adequate capital formation, which is indispensable to a speedy economic growth and development.
