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.

Other things equal, an easy money policy will: A) reduce net exports. B) reduce GDP. C) increase interest rates. D) reduce the international value of the dollar.
Suppose that at the initial equilibrium we know that the price level in the Eurozone is PE = 90.91, the dollar-euro expected exchange rate is E = 1.1, and that the interest rate in the Eurozone is 3%. $/e For the US variables take the same value as the ones specified in the beginning of the problem. Assume now that the Federal Reserve unexpectedly and permanently increases the nominal money supply from M* = 100 to M* = 105. Assume that the European Central Bank remains passive, making no changes to its monetary policy. Based on this information answer the following questions: 1. Find the new short-run equilibrium (interest rate, exchange rate, real money balances). Note that the shock is permanent, so expectations of the exchange rate should change. 2 2. Find the long-run equilibrium (interest rate, exchange rate, prices, real money balances). Is the exchange rate overshooting in the short run? Why? 3. Plot the dynamics of the variables of interest with respect to time. Denote T the…
Consider a fall in the money supply and the impact that this will have on equilibrium in the goods market via both transmission mechanisms. Which of the following would lead to the biggest change in national income following this fall in the money supply? (a) An investment demand curve that is unresponsive to interest rate changes and an elastic liquidity preference curve. (b) An elastic investment demand curve and a high level of responsiveness from export and import demand following a change in the exchange rate. (c) A lack of responsiveness of the exchange rate to interest rate changes and an endogenous money supply. (d) A low level of responsiveness from export and import demand to a change in interest rates and an exogenous money supply curve.
Consider an economy with constant nominal money supply M=100, constant real output Y = 100, and constant real interest rate r = 0.1. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is 0.5 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is -0.1. Also assume that expected inflation is zero and does not change (ne = 0). This implies that the nominal interest rate is equal to the real interest rate. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if output increases to Y = 120, money supply doubles but r remains at 0.1? O A. 90% О В. 50% О С. 3% O D. 0.9%
Robust economy growth ships the transactions demand for money. Consequently, growth will tend to either raise our interest rate or decrease those rates. Please see which direction the rates move, and explain why
we make use of the general monetary model here, where L is no longer assumed constant, and money demand is inversely related to the nominal interest rate. Recall from that earlier question inflation rate in Korea is = 10% and inflation rate in Japan is = 0%. In addition, assume that the bank deposits in Japan pay 2% interest rate (i¥ = 2%). Compute the interest rate paid on South Korean won deposits (iwon). Using the definition of the real interest rate, show that the real interest rate in South Korea (rwon) is equal to the real interest rate in Japan (r¥) Suppose the Bank of Korea decreases the money growth rate from 15% to 10% and the inflation rate falls proportionately (one for one) with this decrease. If the nominal interest rate in Japan remains unchanged, what happens to the interest rate paid on Korean won deposits? Using time series diagrams (impulse graphs), illustrate how this decrease in the money growth rate affects South Korea’s…
You are the govenor of the BSP. The newly elected president wants to have a meeting with you together with his economic goals are aligned. Among the agenda is to discuss the continued depreciation of the Philippine peso. Being in charge of the country's monetary policies, use any monetary instruments, to explain to the president how any of the monetary tools can be used to strengthen the local currency.
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 P 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 a = 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. Explain how the short-run values of (r, i) are determined before the vaccine news shock. 2. Which, if any, of the graphs from Appendix C best depicts the change in the Keynesian cross due to the vaccine news shock? Explain. 3. Which, if any, of the graphs from Appendix A best depicts the short-run change in the interest rate(s) due to the vaccine news shock? Explain. 4. Which, if any, of the graphs…
Q: How do you think the government and the central bank should respond in order to prevent domestic inflation from rising and offset the adverse impact of the rising US interest rate on the domestic economy. Describe fiscal policy and monetary policy separately?
The central bank has announced that it is going to lower the rate of monetary growth from 12% per year to 5% per year. Most likely, this announcement will Select one: a. increase money demand, shifting the LM curve up and to the left. b. increase money demand, shifting the LM curve down and to the right. c. decrease money demand, shifting the LM curve up and to the left. d. decrease money demand, shifting the LM curve down and to the right.
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?
