Suppose his or her approach to monetary policy can be summarized by the following statement: "I care only about inflation. Unemployment is at very low levels for quite some time" a) Would you expect the monetary policy curve to shift upward or downward? b) What would be the effect on the aggregate demand curve?

If the aggregate supply (AS) curve is very steep, will expansionary fiscal or monetary policy have a bigger effect on real GDP or the price level? Draw a graph to support your answer to this question.
Suppose inflation is still high be mid-2022 and the Fed chair announces his/her policy. Suppose his or her approach to monetary policy can be summarized by the following statement: “I care only about inflation. Unemployment is at very low levels for quite some time” a) Would you expect the monetary policy curve to shift upward or downward?
The "rational expectations" school of economists, including Robert Lucas and Thomas Sargent, argue that changes in monetary policy cannot affect unemployment rates in the short run or long run. True False
Since the end of the Great Recession, interest rates have been at historic lows—in some cases, close to zero. How is expansionary monetary policy, or more specifically a open market purchase, supposed to work? How do near-zero interest rates limit the ability of expansionary monetary policy to work? How has the Fed responded to this quandary? That is, what policies has the Fed conducted? how effective has the Fed’s policy been as a response to the Great Recession?
Read the statements below carefully, and decide whether it is true or false. And then explain your answer (whether “true “ or “false”). 1.A recession is defined as a period when the economy’s average price level is rising. 2. Inflation caused by a rise in per-unit production costs is referred to as demand-pull inflation. 3. Both final and intermediate goods and services should be counted in national income accounts. 4. A contractionary monetary policy will cause the general price level to rise in the short run. 5. If net exports is positive, a nation's exports of goods and services exceed its imports.
Economics Assess the following event on the assumption that policymakers are using the Taylor rule as a basis for policy changes, as specified in equation: r = 2 + 0.5(π – π^T) + 0.5(Y-Y^P). In 1973, the United States experienced an unexpected slowdown in productivity, which reduced potential output. Show how the real interest rate (r), output (Y), and inflation behave in the short-run and long-run. Explain and graph using MP, IS, and AD-AS graph to demonstrate. do not provide hand written solution
Suppose the Federal Reserve ("the Fed") shifts to a contractionary monetary policy by selling bonds through open-market operations. Assume that this policy is unanticipated. This problem will work through the short-run effects of this move. The following graph shows the money demand and money supply curves. Show the effect of the Fed's contractionary monetary policy by shifting one or both of the curves, and ignore any potential feedback effects. As a result of the Fed's policy, the interest rate_____to____ .
2) Explain and show graphically: a) What would you expect to happen to the money demand curve during the Christmas season? b) With no Fed intervention, what would happen to the interest rates. c) In fact, interest rates do not change around Christmas due to Fed policy. How does the Fed ensure interest rates remain stable during Christmas?
The graph depicts a dynamic aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) model of the economy. Suppose that in 2003, the economy is in macroeconomic equilibrium, with GDP at GDP (year 1). The Fed projects that in 2004, the aggregate demand curve will be AD (year 2), that potential real GDP will be $12.45 trillion (GDP (year 2)), and that actual real GDP will be $12.39 trillion. By how much does projected potential real GDP exceed actual real GDP in 2004? difference: $.45 0 What could the Federal Reserve do to help the economy reach potential real GDP in 2004? trillion Conduct contractionary monetary policy to increase interest rates. Conduct expansionary monetary policy to decrease interest rates. It cannot aid the economy. Show on the graph what would change if the Fed is successful at implementing their policy. Price level LRAS (year 1) Year LRAS (year 2) Year 2 SRAS (year 1) GDP (year 1) Real GDP (trillions of $) SRAS (year 2) AD (year 1) GDP (year 2) AD (yea
Why does having a dual mandate complicate policy making at a central bank like the FED? Why do some people say that the FED also has a third mandate? If the FED can only directly control nominal interest rates, how does the FED influence real interest rates that determine the actual stance of monetary policy? What circumstances or issues created the need for modern monetary policy?
Hello, I need help with a macroeconomics question. Thank you in advance! The answers are based on a short exerpt from the Federal Reserves press release from Feb 1, 2023 (attatchde below). 7. What do you expect to happen to the money supply? 8. What do you expect to happen to the inflation rate? 9. How would you expect all these decisions to affect employment in the economy? 10. How do the effects you found on 8 and 9 align with what the Fed was hoping to attain?
Sylvia, a writer for a newspaper, interviewed top managers at 50 large corporations. All of the managers indicated that the primary determinant of planned investment is the interest rate and not their expected sales. In addition they all told her that their desired investment function is very flat. From this information, if Sylvia is a good macroeconomist, she would conclude that Group of answer choices neither expansionary nor contractionary monetary policy would be very effective. both expansionary and contractionary monetary policy would be very effective. fiscal policy would be very effective, but monetary policy would not be very effective. fiscal policy would not be very effective, but monetary policy would be very effective.
