Question Now we introduce banks that will act as liquidity providers in the economy. Suppose that banks are able to issue private IOU's, such that individuals deposit goods with the bank and the bank can promise a return on the deposit. We start by assuming that there is no reserve requirement or lending by the Central Bank. (a) Suppose a young individual wants to use one consumption good to acquire money. What return does the bank need to promise the individual to have them deposit the good with the bank instead? (b) Suppose that when the individual deposits a good with the bank, the bank uses this good to create capital. Further, suppose that when the bank offers a return on deposits that is equal to the real rate of return on money then the individual will choose to deposit with the bank instead of acquiring money. A young individual in period t deposits one good with the bank when young. Suppose no young individuals in period t+1 make deposits. How does the bank pay the young individual from t their promised return?

Consider a model economy in which each young person receives 200 units of the consumption good. There are 50 young people born each period. The total stock of fiat money is constant and equal to $10,00. Suppose a person's preferences are such that they only want to consume when old and they dislike risk. We assume the probability that a person moves is 10 percent. The gross return on capital is 1.10. A bank accepts deposits from all young people. a. What is the state contingent rate of return oşered by banks on deposits? b. Write down the money market-clearing condition for this economy. c. Compute the equilibrium value of money for this economy. [Champ, Bruce/Freeman, Scott/Haslag, Joseph. Modeling Monetary Economies]
2) Fred has income of $100,000 this year and $120,000 next year. Fred can borrow at an interest rate of 8% or lend at an interest rate of 2%. Draw Fred's budget constraint between spending this year and spending next year labeling all significant points.
Course: Microeconomics - Intertemporal Consumption Decisions Consider a person who consumes in the 2 periods (C1 and C2), but ONLY works and earns an income in the first period (C1). Assume that consumption in each period behaves as a normal good.a) What is the effect of a rise in income on welfare? And on consumption in both periods? GRAPHb) What is the effect of a rise in the interest rate (assume that r goes from 10% to 15%) that occurs before the consumption decisions on welfare? GRAPH and on consumption in both periods?)

11. The U.S. economy slowed significantly in early 2008, and policy makers were extremely concerned about growth. To boost the economy, Congress passed several relief packages (the Economic Stimulus Act of Act of 2009) that combined would deliver about $700 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment billion in government spending. Assume, for the sake of argument, that this spending was in the form of payments made directly to consumers. The objective was to boost the economy by increasing the disposable income of American consumers. a. Calculate the initial change in aggregate consumer spending as a consequence of this policy measure if MPC in the United States is 0.5. Then calculate the resulting change in real GDP arising from the $700 billion in payments. 76177 b. Illustrate the effect on real GDP with the use of a graph depicting the income-expenditure equilib- rium. Label the vertical axis “Planned aggregate spending, AE Planned" and the horizontal axis "Real GDP." Draw two…
Suppose that one day your rich aunt unexpectedly gives you $10,000 to use as you like, no strings attached. A fraction of that gift will be consumed (the marginal propensity to consume, MPC) or saved (the marginal propensity to save, MPS). If you are like the "average American," you will save less than 5% of your $10,0002. The money you don't save is consumed and is spent on purchasing goods and services. So, whether you spend the increased income on food, entertainment, paying off loans, or a new bicycle, that money goes back into the economy, where it generates revenue through taxes, and gets spent again. This is because an injection of extra income leads to more spending, which creates more income, and so on. In this way, your money is actually spent many times and it has the effect of stimulating the economy through what is known as the multiplier effect. Gifts from rich aunts are not the only way to stimulate the economy. Governments occasionally provide an economic stimulus by…

dy Tools Tips ps 1. The opportunity cost of holding money Suppose you've just inherited $5,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $5,000 in a non-Interest-bearing account so that you can use it whenever you want (that is, hold it as money) or to use it to buy a U.S. Treasury band. The opportunity cost of holding the inheritance as money depends on the interest rate on the bond. For each of the interest rates in the following table, compute the opportunity cost of holding the $5,000 as money. Interest Rate on Government Bond Opportunity Cost (Dollars per year) (Percent) 5 What does the previous analysis suggest about the market for money? O The quantity of money demanded increases as the interest rate rises. O The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises. O The supply of money is independent of the interest rate.

1. Suppose your annual income is $82,000 this year and it is expected to increase 25% next year. The market interest rate is 3%. a. Please illustrate all possible consumption patterns with a figure. Do not forget to label your axes. b. You believe that your consumption this year and your consumption next year should be the same. If you follow your plan and consume equally in those two years, how much should you save or borrow this year?
