- Please help on Part C and D.arrow_forwardMilton Friedman, the leader for Monetarism had proposed several important arguments regarding the implementation of Monetary Policy. The arguments were listed as: Proposition 1: Monetary Policy has powerful short-run effects on the real economy. In the long run, however, changes in the money supply have their primary effect on the price level. Proposition 2: Despite the powerful short-run effect of money on the economy, there is little scope for using Monetary Policy actively to try to smooth business cycle. Proposition 3: Even if there is some scope for using Monetary Policy to smooth business cycles, the Central Bank (the Federal Reserve) cannot be relied on to do so effectively. Proposition 4: The Central Bank (the Federal Reserve) should choose a specific monetary aggregate (such as M1 or M2) and commit itself to making that aggregate grow at a fixed percentage rate, year in and year out.

In Argentina, the central bank needs to determine by how much to increase the money supply next year. Suppose they estimate an increase in the overall economic activity (real GDP) of 2.5% percent and have a target inflation rate of 4%. The velocity of money has been observed to be constant over the past many years. By what level should the central bank change the money supply to achieve its inflation target? b. Next year, the central bank of Argentina wishes to reduce inflation to 2 percent, and estimates an increase in real GDP by 1.5 percent. What should be the change in the money supply? c. What is an "inflation tax", and how might it explain the creation of inflation by a central bank?arrow_forward
