- In 2016, when the interest rate on 10-year German government bonds became negative, an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that the interest rate on 10-year bonds depended in part on investors' expectations of future short-term interest rates. The article also noted that "investors don't seem to have changed their perception of... [short-term] interest rates in the future." If the article is correct, can the expectations theory explain why the interest rate on 10-year German government bonds declined? Can the risk premium theory? Briefly explain.arrow_forwardRational expectations theory assumes Multiple Cholce consumer behavior is static. consumers will change their behavior, but it takes time. consumers will adjust to their current situation immediately consumers lack full information and would benefit from improved expectationsarrow_forwardAssume that the housing market is in equilibrium in year 1. In year 2, the mortgage rate that banks charge consumers increases, but producers are not affected. Which of the following is most likely to be the equilibrium change? a The equilibrium will be at point C before the change in expectations and point A after the change b The equilibrium will be at point A before the change in expectations and point B after the change c The equilibrium will be at point A before the change in expectations and point C after the change d The equilibrium will be at point E before the change in expectations and point C after the changearrow_forward

- Illustrate graphically what would happen in the short run and in the long run to the price level and Real GDP if individuals hold rational expectations, prices and wages are flexible, and individuals overestimate the rise in aggregate demand (bias upward).arrow_forwardSuppose the Central bank announces today a change in monetary policy: it is increasing target inflation from 2% to 3%. Using the 3-equation model under adaptive expectations, explain how the economy adjusts to the change in monetary policy.
