Similar to how the quantity demanded for a good depends on its price, the quantity of money demanded depends on the cost of holding money, or the nominal interest rate (i). In addition to this, the demand for real money balances is also a function of income (Y). Using all of this information, suppose the demand for real money balances takes on the following functional form: (M/P)dd=500 + 2Y – 9i The Fisher equation relates the nominal interest rate to the real interest rate (r) and the expected rate of inflation (Eπ) when examining ex-ante (based on forecasts or 'before the event') effects. The equation ( (M/P)dd = 500 + 2Y – 9(Eπ – r)/(M/P)dd = 500 + 2Y – 9(r – Eπ) / (M/P)dd = 500 + 2Y + 9(r + Eπ) / (M/P)dd = 500 + 2Y – 9(r + Eπ) ) is equivalent to the function given for the demand for real money balances. Suppose the central bank announces that it will increase the money supply in the future, but it does not change the money supply today. Complete the following…
An IS curve shows: (a) that realized savings are most likely a function of interest rates, because changes in interest rates result in changes in precautionary demand for money; (b) the combinations of investments and incomes that result in the supply and demand for money being equal to one another; (c) the locus of all combinations of interest rates and incomes that will result in realized investment and realized savings being equal to one another; (d) that increases in output typically are caused by increases in interest rates.
The supply of credit cards is given by q = 1400X, where X are real credit card balances, q isthe real price of the credit card balance. You also know that R = 0.05 (nominal interest rate)and P = 100.
