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%). a. Compute the interest rate paid on South Korean won deposits (iwon). b. 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¥) c. 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? d. Using time series diagrams (impulse graphs), illustrate how this decrease in the money growth rate affects South…

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.
3. Consider an alternative way of conducting monetary policy. Suppose that the cen- tral bank adopts a policy rule aiming at dampening fluctuations in aggregate economic activity. The policy takes the following form: i = io + iįY in which io > 0 and i > 0. This rule is called the Interest Rate Rule (IRR). 3.1) In the standard IS-LM diagram, show the IRR curve and its intersection with the IS curve.
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that, due to increased instability in the financial markets, a decrease in investor and consumer confidence occurs. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose the Federal Reserve wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the Fed intervene? If so, show the impact of successful monetary policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."

Q2
An economy with constant prices is described by an extended IS-LM model - that is, by an IS-LM model based on the following additional assumptions: - The central bank can set the real rate r, that therefore becomes the "policy rate" determined by monetary policy, and keeps it at the chosen level- Spending decisions (in particular investment decisions by firms) depend on the "real borrowing rate" r+x, sum of the real policy rate and the risk premium (x). Starting from an initial equilibrium position, suppose that the government cuts net taxes T and that at the same time the risk premoium x goes down. The central bank changes the policy rate to prevent these changes in T and x from affecting equilibrium production, that therefore remains unchanged. In the move from the initial equilibrium to the one that will be reached following the changes in x, T and r described above, the "real borrowing rate" r+x will have gone up, down or will have remained unchanged? Explain why.
Why is a public announcement of numerical inflationrate objectives important to the success of an inflationtargeting central bank?
