Suppose the central bank subscribes to a monetarist approach to monetary policy. The central bank believes that the velocity of money grows at a predictable rate of 2% per year and that potential real GDP grows at 4% per year. If the central bank observes a monetary policy rule that stipulates money supply growth of 5% per year, it will expect an inflation rate of 11% Y per year and nominal GDP growth of 7% Y per year.

Consider the following Taylor rule i=0.02+0.75y+0.25(pi-2%) Notice that the central bank puts a higher policy weight on output than inflation. Imagine that inflation is 2%. How large should be the decline in output relative to the full-employment level for the central bank to hit the zero lower bound? A. 0.00% B. 1.27% C. 2.67% D. 4.00%
Answer the Writing Task only. I need the answer as fast as possible.
Assume that the money demand function is (M / P)d = 2,200 – 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. If the price level is fixed at P=2, and the Fed wants to fix the interest rate at 7 percent, it should set the money supply at: a. 2,000. b. 1,800. c. 1,600. d. 1,400.
Suppose that County A has a money demand function given by Md= 50+ 2Y- 5r, while Country Bhas a money demand function given by Md= 50+ 2Y-25r. From this, we can conclude thatA)the LM in A is steeper than in BB)the LM in B is steeper than in AC)the LM in A is vertical while the LM in B is horizontalD)Country A is more "Keynesian" whereas Country B is more "classical" in structure.
Suppose the money demand function is Md/P = 1000+ 0.2Y - 1000 (r + π²). and Y = 2000, r = .06, π = .04, and Ms is 2600. Suppose the real interest rate rises to 0.11, and expected inflation rises to 0.09, but Y and Ms are unchanged. What would the inflation rate be? Select one: a. 4% b. 10% O c. 6% d. 8%
Those economists who believe that monetary policy is more potent than fiscal policy argue that the: A) responsiveness of money demand to the interest rate is large. B) responsiveness of money demand to the interest rate is small. C) IS curve is nearly vertical. D) LM curve is nearly horizontal.
Which of these is an alternative to monetar policy and aims to reduce inflation? a) reduce the moeny supply b) raise government purchases c) reduce taxes d) increase taxes
C = 100 + 0.5 - (Y – T') I = 500 – 1000 -r where Y is real output and r is the real interest rate. Government purchases and taxes are Ğ = 500, Ť = 100. The LM (money market equilibrium) curve is Y 5i where P is the price level and i is the nominal interest rate. The Central Bank (CB) is initially supplying M = 8000 units of money, and expected inflation is a = 0. Assume that the long-run equilibrium level of output is Y = 2000. Short-run equilibrium output is initially at the same level (Y = 2000). Suddenly, news of a new world-beating super-vaccine raises expected inflation to = 0.05. Question 5 Suppose that consumers finally decide to get rid of cash altogether, and only use debit cards. Nothing else changes, and the CB doesn't do anything either. What do you think will happen to money supply M and prices P in the short and long-runs? Does this change money demand?
When the growth rate of the money supply is decreased, interest rates wil rise immediately if the liquidity effect is ____ than the other money supply effects and there is ______ adjustment of expected inflation. larger; fast smaller; slow larger; slow smaller; fast
Now, consider an economy in which the demand for money is of the formY / (1 + it) for t = 0, 1, 2, · · · , where output is 150 and it denotes the nominal interest rate inperiod t. The real interest rate, denoted r, is constant and equal to 4%. In period0 and 1, the money supply is 100 and people expect that money supply wouldbe 100 forever. People have rational expectations. In period 2, the central banksurprises people and sets the money supply will grow at 2 percent forever, that is,M0 = 100, M1 = 100, M2 = (1.02)M1, M3 = (1.02)M2, and so on. A . Find the inflation rate, nominal interest rate, real money balance in period 1,and expected inflation in period 2, given the information available in period1, π1, i1, M1 / P1 and, E1π2. B . Find the inflation rate, nominal interest rate, real money balance in period 2, and expected inflation in period 3, given the information available in period 2, π2, i2, M2 / P2 and E2π3. C . Compare E1π2 and π2.
Assume an economy’s annual money velocity in circulation is 10. Please answer the following two question: In the view of monetarists (i.e. neoclassical view), if the annual economic growth rate is 6%, what should be the money supply increasing rate to maintain a low inflation rate as 3%? Please show equation.
C = 100 + 0.5 - (Y –T) I = 500 – 1000 - r where Y is real output and r is the real interest rate. Government purchases and taxes are Ĝ = 500, Ť= 100. The LM (money market equilibrium) curve is M Y where P is the price level and i is the nominal interest rate. The Central Bank (CB) is initially supplying M = 8000 units of money, and expected inflation is xª = 0. Assume that the long-run equilibrium level of output is Y = 2000. Short-run equilibrium output is initially at the same level (Y = 2000). Suddenly, news of a new world-beating super-vaccine raises expected inflation to “ = 0.05. 3. Continue to suppose the government doesn't do anything, and the CB wants to stabilise the shock in the short-run but instead of output, the CB wants to bring the nominal interest rate i back to its long-run equilibrium level. Explain whether it should decrease or increase money supply M, and what happens to short-run output Y and the real interest rate r if this policy is followed. 4. Suppose the CB…
