This question examines the relationship between the Indian rupee (Rs) and the US dollar ($). We
denote the exchange rate in rupees per dollar as ERS/$. Suppose the Bank of India permanently
decreases its money supply by 4%.
1. First, consider the effect in the long run. Using the following equation, explain how the change
in India's money supply affects the Indian price level, PIN, and the exchange rate, ERS/$:
AERS/STIN
ERS/$

·TUS = (MIN - 9IN) - (Mus - gus).

2. How does the decrease in India's money supply affect the real money supply,
in the long
PIN
run.
3. Based on your previous answer, how does the decrease in the Indian money supply affect the
nominal interest rate, UN, in the long run? (hint: M = L(i)Y hold in the long run)
4. Illustrate the graphs to show how a permanent decrease in India's money supply affects India's
money and FX markets in the long run. (hint: you may refer to the figures on lecture slides #5,
titled "Analysis in the long run.")
5. Illustrate the…

Your estimates indicate that the own-price elasticity of demand equals 0.25, the income elasticity of demand equals 0.45, the cross-price elasticity of demand for hospital services with respect to the price of nursing home services equals 0.1, and the elasticity of travel time equals −0.37. Use this information to project the impact of the following changes on the demand for hospital services. Average travel time to the hospital diminishes by 5 percent due to overall improvements in the public transportation system. The price of nursing home care decreases by 10 percent. Average real income decreases by 10 percent. The hospital is forced to increase its price for services by 2 percent.arrow_forward
- The commissioner of health is concerned about the increasing number of reported cases of preventable childhood diseases, such as polio and rubella. It appears that a growing number of young children are not being vaccinated against childhood diseases as they should be. Two proposals to address the problem are sitting on the commissioner’s desk. The programs have equal costs, but the commissioner has funding for only one. The first proposal involves providing free vaccinations at clinics around the country. The benefits from a free vaccination program are likely to be experienced immediately in terms of a drop in the number of reported cases of illness. The second program calls for educating young married couples about the benefits of vaccination. The benefits in this instance will not be felt for some years. The commissioner wants to use cost-benefit analysis to determine which proposal should be implemented.
