The economy was in equilibrium; the rate of inflation was on target. An increase in the level of technology in period 1 leads to an increase in potential output. a) Use a graph of the DAD-DAS curves to show the short and long-run consequences of the increase in potential output. Explain the shifts of the curves. b) Suppose that the increase in potential output is accompanied by a permanent reduction in the level of the central bank's inflation target. Use a graph of the DAD-DAS curves to show the short and long-run consequences of the increase in potential output and the change in inflation target. Explain the shifts of the curves.
1)Identify one possible expansionary monetary policy. 2)Carefully explain in as much detail as possible, how the chosen action will impact the money market? 3)illustrated the overall impact of the chosen action on the money market In 2019, while there was a mixed approach to monetary policy-setting in the Caribbean, overall the monetary policy stance in the region remained accommodative. Jamaica, for instance, continued to pursue an expansionary monetary policy with the Bank of Jamaica cutting its overnight rates four times in 2019. The overnight rates were reduced from 1.75% in December 2018 to a historic low of 0.50% in August 2019. In contrast, the Central Bank van Suriname increased the reserve requirement for foreign currency deposits and required that at least half of commercial banks’ USD cash deposits and all of the EUR deposits be held at the Bank, in order to maintain a stable exchange rate.Further, despite the subdued economic activity, the Central Bank of Trinidad…
The aggregate economy of India has a rate of money growth equal to 7. Initially the velocity of money is not changing. The long-run aggregate supply curve equals 2 But then there is a banking panic, causing the growth rate of the velocity of money to fall to -6 percent per year. In the absence of government intervention, the resulting recession would last for 3 years (meaning it would grow at the recession growth rate for 3 years, then return to long-run equilibrium after that). Assume that just before the recession started, India's level of GDP was equal to $100 billion. Your boss has proposed that the government should step in and use fiscal policy to end the recession immediately. But Raj Kumar, a member of the opposition, has claimed that fiscal policy is too expensive, and anyways there is no reason to end the recession because it will end on its own. To counter his argument, your boss has asked you to calculate how much lower GDP would be by the end of the recession if the…
The Bank of Zambia has introduced the monetary policy rate {MPC) initially set at 9.0% and which has since moved up to 15.5% as of may 2016. a. What is the purpose of the monetary policy rate and what factors are considered in its determination? b. what are the reasons for the introduction of the policy rate, highlighting both the merits and demerits of this measure and the significance of the policy rate in relation to other monetary policy measures? c. Discuss the implications of the increase in the policy rate from 9.0 to 15.5 % on the financial market and on the Zambian economy in general. What factors may have prompted the increase and what is the likely direction of the movements in the rate going into the second half of 2016? What factors are likely to weigh on the movements?
Draw and properly label three graphs of money supply-money demand (in one graph), investment demand, and AD-AS (6%). Then, referring to the graphs in your explanation, use one of the three traditional monetary tools to explain how the monetary transmission mechanism works to close recessionary and also inflationary gaps.

Consider a hypothetical economy where: • C(Ya) = 12 + 0.75 × (Y – T) • I(r) = 124 – 1 x r • G = 120 • t = 20% 3. Assume that inflation is zero, so that i = r. This economy's central bank follows a given Monetary Policy Rule:r =i= 0.025 ×Y+0.0003 × P , where P is the price level. Given this and the expression for the IS Curve, write down an expression for the Aggregate Demand Curve. (Hint: Remember that the AD Curve takes the form P =....)
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…
Explain the impact effect of this shock on output, inflation, and the real interest rate. Explain the dynamic response of output, inflation, and interest rates in subsequent periods. Does the economy converge back to the same long-run equilibrium? Explain how the central bank responds to inflation and the importance of the monetary authority following the Taylor principle. How would your answer to (B) change if the shock lasted for several periods (instead of one period) before reverting to zero?
Provide brief intuitive answers to the following questions. 1. What are the main empirical and theoretical contributions of the Mankiw, Romer and Weil's paper? Define one of the main empirical challenges they faced in their analysis? 2. Explain what central banks can do when they encounter a liquidity trap, and cannot use conventional monetary policy. 3. Explain how the real business cycle model can explain why the price level is countercyclical at some times, and uncorrelated with output at other times.
Assume the monetary policy curve is given by r = 1.5 +0.75π. a) Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate is at 2%, 3%, and 4%. b) Plot the monetary policy curve and identify the points from part (a).
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.
multiple part question Create a graph of equilibrium in the IS-LM model. Show the effect of an expansionary monetary policy. Summarize your results. B. If the central bank’s goal is to maximize output, what interest rate will we expect in equilibrium? C. Starting from the equilibrium described in (B), suppose investors experience a decrease in “animal spirits.” What happens to output? Can the central bank offset this with expansionary monetary policy? D. What could fiscal authorities do to offset the shock to animal spirits described in (C)?
