The Fed's Policies under Volcker In the years 1979 to 1982, under the leadership of Paul Volcker, the Fed adopted a tight money policy to reduce the nation's inflation rate. Based on the aggregate supply - aggregate demand model, what would happen to the price level in the long run as a result of the Fed's tight money policy under Volcker's leadership? Choose one answer below: O The price level would end up higher in the long run. O The price level would end up lower in the long run. O The price level would end up at its initial level in the long run.

given the graph and The current target inflation rate in 8 percent. The natural rate of unemployment is 5 percent and Okun's alpha is 8. The oil producing countries unexpectedly and drastically increase oil prices. As a result the short run aggregate supply function shifts up by 3 percentage points at each and every level of real GDP. what will the inflation rate be? what will the cyclical unemployment be? and If the Fed tries to bring the inflation rate back to the target level, the cyclical unemployment will increase to what?
The economic response to the overnight reduction in the French money supply by 20 percent in 1724: confirmed the quantity theory by leading to an immediate 20 percent reduction in the price level. O confirmed the neutrality of money because no real variables were affected by this nominal change. confirmed that money is not neutral in the short run because both output and prices dropped. contradicted Okun's law because decreases in output were not associated with increases in unemployment.
In the context of our course long run "money neutrality" has which of the following implications? O In the long run monetary stimulus increases inflation and nominal GDP, but not real GDP O All the other options O The natural rate hypothesis means that monetary policy cannot affect the natural rate of unemployment O A central bank can manage demand-driven cycles in economic activity
The Fed is fighting recession and it happens to overstimulate the economy. If the expected inflation rate rises above the 2 percent goal, what is the cost of returning the inflation rate back to its goal? The cost of returning the inflation rate back to its goal is _______. A. an inflationary gap and an even higher inflation rate than initially B. unemployment below the natural unemployment rate C. a decrease in potential GDP and aggregate supply D. a recessionary gap and a higher unemployment rate Thanks!
In the graph, demonstrate the short-run effect of an increase in the growth rate of the money supply, assuming all else remains equal. What happens in the long run? LRAS O As expectations adjust to the increase, all curves shift back to their original locations. SRAS The SRAS curve shifts to the left, and the inflation rate increases, with no change in the growth rate. The AD curve shifts to the right, and both the real growth rate and inflation rate increase. The LRAS curve shifts to the right, and the real growth rate increases, with no change in the inflation rate. AD Real GDP growth rate Inflation rate (T)
Suppose velocity rises and the money supply falls. How will things change in the AD–AS framework if a change in the money supply is completely offset by a change in velocity? Check all that apply. The increase in velocity could shift the AD curve to the left by the same amount as the fall in the money supply shifts the AD curve to the right. Changes in the money supply would have no effect on Real GDP, the short-run price level, nor the long-run price level. A change in the money supply would decrease Real GDP, the short-run price level, and the long-run price level. The increase in velocity could shift the AD curve to the right by the same amount as the fall in the money supply shifts the AD curve to the left.
The following table describes the aggregate demand curve, where real GDP is expressed as the percent deviation from potential GDP and inflation is expressed as a percentage: Real GDP 2.0 1.0 0.0 -1.0 -2.0 Inflation 19 3.0 4.0 5.0 7.0 9.0 Due to a price shock, inflation increases by 2%. In the long run, what will real GDP be (expressed as the percent deviation from potential GDP)?
In regard to monetary policies, nonactivists have various proposals. True or False: Some nonactivists believe in a predetermined-money growth rate, which suggests that the monetary authorities should target the proper federal funds rate before implementing monetary policies. O True O False 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 is not a derivation of the equation of exchange. 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.
ון רבSuip Reset the graph and click on the blue square to apply a negative supply shock the the economy. Then adjust the movable point to view the effects of potential policy responses to the negative supply shock. Use what you observe to answer the questions that follow. a. In response to the effects of a negative supply shock, policymakers decide to decrease aggregate demand. What are the effects of this choice? O an increase in aggregate output, and an increase in the aggregate price level an decrease in aggregate output, and an decrease in the aggregate price level an increase in aggregate output, and an decrease in the aggregate price level an decrease in aggregate output, and an increase in the aggregate price level b. What are the overall tradeoffs with regard to this choice? Policymakers have chosen to fight inflation by increasing AD, but this further reduces aggregate output and makes the recession worse. Policymakers have chosen to fight inflation by decreasing AD, but this…
1).True or False: If the Fed undertakes expansionary monetary policy, it can retum the economy to its original inflation rate and original unemployment rate. 2).True or False: If the Fed undertakes expansionary monetary policy, it can return the economy to its original inflation rate and original unemployment rate. True False
Question 8 Refer to the figure. In the figure, assume the initial real growth rate of the economy is 3% when a positive aggregate demand shock shifts the AD curve from AD, to AD5. As a result of the Fed's policy response, the AD curve shifts to AD, in the short run. Which of the following is TRUE about the Fed's policy response? Inflation LRAS rate, SRAS *ADS AD4 ► AD; AD2 AD; 3% Real growth The Fed responded too little to the shock. The Fed was too fast in responding to the shock. O The Fed provided just the right amount of response to the shock. The Fed responded too much to the shock.
Now, suppose the economy is back in long-run equilibrium, and then the price of imported oil rises. On the following graph, shift a curve or adjust the point to reflect the short-run effect of the increase in the price of oil. nflation Rate L SRPC LRPC O True O False Unemployment Rate SRPC O Short-Run Effect LRPC True or False: If the Fed undertakes expansionary monetary policy, it can return the economy to its original inflation rate but the unemployment rate will be higher.
