QUESTION Consider the model of money demand we saw in class. Let the elasticity of money demand with respect to real income be 0.8 and the elasticity of money demand with respect to the interest rate on non-monetary assets be -0.2. Imagine that real income increased by 2.75% and nominal interest rate on non-monetary assets increased by 0.2%. If the central bank wants inflation to be at exactly 2%, it should increase money supply by percent. Note: Type in your answer rounded to two decimal places, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard may automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it. In case of percentages, do not type in the percentage symbol "%". If your answer is a negative number, type a dash in front of your answer, i.e, "-999.99".

Suppose that, initially, the economy is operating in an inflationary gap and that the Federal Reserve (the Fed") pursues a contractionary monetary policy to close the gap. Assume that natural real GOP equals $2 trillion. The following graph shows the supply ($) and demand (D) curves in the money market. Adjust the graph to show the effect of the contractionary monetary policy. QUANTITY OF MONEY INTEREST RATE
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A standard "money demand" function used by macroeconomists has the form ln(m)=β0+β1ln(GDP)+β2R, Where m is the quantity of (real) money, GDP is the value of (real) gross domesticproduct, and R is the value of the nominal interest rate measured in percent per year. Supposed that β1 = 2.66 and β2 = −0.05. A) What is the expected change in m if GDP increases by 4%? The value of m is expected to_________(increase or decrease ) by approximately ________% (Round your response to the nearest integer) B) What is projected to change in m if the interest rate increases form 2% to 6% ? The value of m is expected to ________(increase/decrease) by approximately ________% (Round your response to the nearest integer)
Suppose that velocity of money is constant, the expected inflation rate is always equal to the actual inflation rate, and the expected real interest rate is 3%. Answer the following questions. Justify your answers. -When the growth rate of the money supply is 8% and the growth rate of real GDP is 2%, what is the nominal interest rate?
In the Country A, the velocity of money is constant. The growth rate of real GDP is by 6% per year, the money supply grows by 20% per year, and the nominal interest rate is 24%. What is the real interest rate in the in the Country A ?
The velocity of circulation is constant, real GDP is growing at 2 percent a year, the real interest rate is 2 percent a year, and the nominal interest rate is 6 percent a year. Calculate the inflation rate, the growth rate of money, and the growth rate of nominal GDP. The inflation rate is percent a year.
12. Suppose that the money demand function is: d = 900 - 60i where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 3,000 and the price level P is fixed at 6. (optional) a. Graph the supply and demand for real money balances. Make sure to label all curves and axes. b. What is the equilibrium interest rate? What happens to the equilibrium interest rate if the supply of money is reduced from 3,000 to 2,400? Show your work. a. If the central bank wants the interest rate to be 3 percent, what money supply should it set? Show your work.
Japan's money supply is growing rapidly at a 5.54% while real GDP is increasing at 8.29%. Japan's real interest rate is also growing at 4.46%. *we are assuming Quantity Theory of Money, Classical Dihotomy, and Fisher Effect effect are true. a. calculate the inflation rate b. calculate nominal interest rate c. calculate GDP growth rate
3. The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction. Poornima spends all of her money on magazines and donuts. In 2015, she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $9.00, and the price of a donut was $3.00. Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable? Check all that apply. O The price of a donut is $3.00 in 2015. O Poornima's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2015. O The price of a donut is 0.33 magazines in 2015. Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply. O The price of a magazine is 3 donuts in 2015. O Poornima's wage is 9 donuts per hour in 2015. O The price of a magazine is $9.00 in 2015. Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2015 and 2020. In 2020, Poornima's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a magazine is $18.00 and the price of a donut is…
1. In the UK, during the Fall 2017 the key interest rate increased by 25 basis points. For a considerable time, the inflation rate was close to 3% and the pound depreciated due to Brexit and substantial debt. Use graphs and models to analyse the effects on all markets (real money balances market, IS-LM model). Explain effects on real interest rate, money demand and money supply.
