By using open market operations, the Federal Reserve O a. adjusts the supply AND demand of reserves to keep the federal funds interest rate equal to its target. O b. adjusts the supply of reserves to keep the federal funds interest rate equal to its target. Oc controls banks' demand for reserves, thereby keeping the federal funds rate equal to its target. O d. adjusts the demand of reserves to keep bank rates in line with the federal funds rate target. O e. None of these answers is correct.
Using the simple monetary rule Rt-r=m(T-), if m=0.5 and the inflation rate is 2 percent below the target inflation rate, the Federal Reserve will A. raise the marginal product of capital by 1 percent. B. lower the interest rate by 1 percent. O C. raise the interest rate by 1 percent. OD. lower the marginal product of capital by 1 percent. O E. lower the target rate by 2 percent.
Suppose the economy is initially in long-run equilibrium. The Fed decides to increase the required reserve ratio. In the short-run, this contractionary monetary policy will cause: O A. A shift from SRAS₂ to SRAS, and a movement to point B, with a lower price level and higher output. OB. A shift from AD₁ to AD₂ and a movement to point B, with a higher price level and higher output. O C. A shift from SRAS, to SRAS₂ and a movement to point A, with a higher price level and the same output. O D. A shift from AD₂ to AD, and a movement to point D, with a lower price level and lower output. 122 120- 118- 116- 114- 112- 110- 108- 106- 104- 102- 100- 98- 96- 94- 92- 90- -O 0 Price Level LRAS B 4 6 8 10 12 Real GDP (trillions of 2000 dollars) SRAS₂ SRAS₁ AD2 AD1 14 16
Consider Nowehereland, a small open economy. Suppose business people in Nowhereland are pessimistic about the future and their demand for funds decrease. What will happen to real interest rate, net trade balance, net foreign investment and real exchange rate?
The quantity theory of money begins with the equation of exchange, MV = PY, and then adds the assumptions that Select one: A. velocity and potential GDP are independent of the quantity of money. B. potential GDP and the price level are independent of the quantity of money. C. velocity and the price level are independent of the quantity of money. D. potential GDP and the quantity of money are independent of the price level. O E. velocity varies inversely with the interest rate, and the price level is independent of the quantity of money.
In regard to monetary policies, nonactivists have various proposals. True or False: Some nonactivists believe in the Taylor rule, which suggests that the annual money-supply growth rate should be based on the growth rates of velocity and Real GDP to ensure that the price level does not fluctuate. O False O True Which of the following statements best explains the difference between the Taylor rule and the two other nonactivist rules (the constant-money growth rate rule and the predetermined-money growth rate rule)? O The Taylor rule does not take into account the stability of prices. O The Taylor rule suggests how much the money supply should grow. O The Taylor rule does not take into account the current state of the economy. O The Taylor rule is not a derivation of the equation of exchange.
Assume, in the 3rd quarter of 2018 in the U.S., the velocity of money was 3.08 and the M2 money supply was $1,050 million. The average prices in the economy was $1.44. Based on this, what was the real GDP of the U.S. in the 3rd quarter of 2018. O a. $2,750 million O b.$1,250 millon Oc. $2,000 million O d. 52.250 million
If the Federal Reserve decided to increase interest rates, it could O a. buy bonds to raise the money supply. Ob. sell bonds to lower the money supply. Oc. buy bonds to lower the money supply. Od. sell bonds to raise the money supply.
a) Which of the follwing monetary policy actions can be used to close an inflationary gap?O No change in the money supply to keep interest rates constant.ODecrease the money supply to decrease interest rates,OIncrease the money supply to increase interest rates.O Increase the money supply to decrease interest rates.O Decrease the money supply to increase interest rates. b) Assume the economy is initially at full-employment equilibrium. Suppose the economy slows down and uncertainty increases, reducing consumption and investment expenditures, in the short run, this shock willcause the economy to fall below full enployment. To move the economy to a full-employment equilibrium, the Fed could:O. decrease government spendingO. increase corporate tax ratesO. lower the federal fund rate targetO. increase government spending O. raise interest rates
In the short run, what would be the result of an increase in the monetary base? Assume the reserve ratio is unchanged. O a. Demand for money decreases. Ob. Demand for money increases. O c. Quantity demanded of money decreases. O d. Price level decreases. O e. Nominal interest rate falls.
