According to the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, in the long run a decrease in the money supply leads to A) decreases in both the price level and real GDP. B) an increase in real GDP and an increase in the price level. C) a decrease in the price level but does not change real GDP. D) an increase in the price level but does not change real GDP.
Explain how the Federal Reserve’s raising of interest rates affects the following variables in the short run: household consumption, business investment, real GDP, and the price level. Insert or attach a well-labeled Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply graph that would illustrate the effect of an increase in interest rates on Aggregate Demand when the economy is close to potential real GDP. Explain your graph.
Suppose Bangladesh Bank (BB) decided to follow the Taylor rule to conduct monetary policy. BB's target interest rate is the lending rate. The economists in BB understands that there will be some time lag for their policy to be effective and therefore they use a forecasted or expected inflation rate (instead of current inflation rate) in their policy rule. BB is equally concerned about output and inflation. According to BB's estimate the equilibrium real lending rate is 5 percent. BB's inflation target is 3 percent and the deviation of actual output from the potential output (as measured by the HP filter) is 1 percent.a. If the expected inflation rate is 6%, then at what target should the lending rate be set according to the Taylor rule?

For each of the changes below provide a narrative explanation and a graphical explanation of how the change will impact the economy's equilibrium price level and equilibrium quantity of output produced a) The federal reserve significantly increases the interest rate it pays banks for holding excess reserves. b) The government increases the income tax rate of households by 3%
Dynamic aggregate demand (AD) can be derived using the quantity theory of money. Label the equation so that it accurately expresses the quantity theory of money in dynamic form growth in the money supply -+ Answer Bank unemployment growth in velocity inflation real economic growth marginal propensity to save Suppose that the velocity of money is stable, 4% real economic growth is occurring, the rate of inflation is 4%, unemployment is 5.3%, and the marginal propensity to save is 3%. By how much is the money supply growing? Enter your answer as a percentage.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, among other things, lowered marginal tax rates across several tax brackets. During that time, the Federal Reserve raised the target for the federal funds rate. Using the IS-MP model, graphically demonstrate what should happen to the interest rate and income (real GDP) in the short run. Explain in words below your diagram.

Based on research conducted by the Department of Economic Analysis, the government and policy advisors of an economy believe that the full employment GDP is $7500 billion, and Pe, the overall expected price level is 118. In addition, the researchers estimate that the short run aggregate supply equation is Y = Ypot + 80 (P - Pe), where Ypot is the potential level of output. In 2016, the population was 400 million, and the structure of the economy was described by the following equations for household consumption behavior and taxes received: C = 100+ 0.8DI, and T = 0.25Y where all monetary values are in billions of dollars. Government spending was fixed at $1700 billion, and firm's investment behavior was fixed at $800 billion. Trading is allowed in this economy and in 2016, trading occurred such that the trade account was balanced. That is, net exports (X - IM) was equal to zero. (Question 1 of 20) What is the equilibrium level of GDP (in billions of dollars) in 2016? (report your…
In the monetarist version of the AD-AS framework, a decrease in velocity of money produces a ________________ shift of the _________ curve. Group of answer choices rightward; Ms (Money Supply) leftward; AD (Aggregate Demand) rightward; AS (Aggregate Supply) rightward; AD (Aggregate Demand)
Suppose the government decides to decrease government expenditures as a means of cutting the existing government budget deficit. Using a graph of aggregate demand and supply, show the effects of such a decision on the economy in the short run. Describe the effects on inflation and output. What will be the effect on the real interest rate, the inflation rate, and the output level if the Bank of Canada decides to stabilize the inflation rate?
