Answer to Problem 1CQQ

Option ‘d’ is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Option (d):

According to the principle of monetary neutrality, only nominal variables are affected by changes in the money supply. Also, monetary neutrality approximately describes the behavior of the economy in the long run. Thus, option ‘d’ is correct.

Option (a):

By the principle of monetary neutrality, nominal variables are affected by changes in the money supply. Also, monetary neutrality approximately describes the behavior of the economy in the long run. Thus, option ‘a’ is incorrect.

Option (b):

By the principle of monetary neutrality, nominal variables are affected by changes in the money supply. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.

Option (c):

Monetary neutrality approximately describes the behavior of the economy in the long run. Thus, option ‘c’ is incorrect.

Question Seven There are specific applications of the hidden-action or moral hazard model. Consider employment contracts signed between a firm's owners and a manager who runs the firm on behalf of the owners. The manager is offered an employment contract which they can accept and decide how much effort, e ≥ 0, to exert. Suppose that an increase in effort, e, increases the firm's gross profit, not including payments to the manager, but is personally costly to the manager and the firm's gross profit, Пg, takes the following form: Пg = e +ε, ε~N(0,2). Let s denote the salary, which may depend on effort and/or gross profit, depending on what the owner can observe, offered as part of the contract between the owner and manager. Suppose that the manager is risk averse and has a utility function with respect to salary of the form: Aσ² U(W)=μ- 2 a) Derive the optimal result of the owner's expected net profit where there is full information and state what it implies. b) Suppose now that the…
