- Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium with GDP approaching $23T and the unemployment rate is approaching 4%. Now, let's say that the Fed has decided to decrease the money supply by 6%! The Fed proposes this move by raising the Prime Rate from the current 3.25 to 4.00 and to sell a new trunk or class of 30-year Treasury Bonds. This was not expected! What might be the short and long run effects on the economy as a whole if this were to take place? What happens to the inflation rate? What happens with unemployment? Like I said, this was actually expected that the Fed might take some sort of constriction action to stave off reduce inflation and to strengthen the money supply. However, President Biden, Congress and the Treasury Department had hoped for no contraction of the money supply until 2023.arrow_forwardAssume the United States economy is operating at a recession. a.

- Which of the following best describes the cause-effect chain of an expansionary monetary policy? A) A decrease in the money supply will raise the interest rate, decrease investment spending, and decrease aggregate demand and GDP. B) A decrease in the money supply will lower the interest rate, increase investment spending, and increase aggregate demand and GDP. C) An increase in the money supply will raise the interest rate, decrease investment spending, and decrease aggregate demand and GDP. D) An increase in the money supply will lower the interest rate, increase investment spending, and increase aggregate demand and GDP.arrow_forwardSuppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium, but the central bank decides to increase bank rate (the rate at which the central bank lends to banks). How does this affect the economy in the short run if the monetary policy is not fully anticipated? What are the effects in the short run if the policy is anticipated? Enter your results in the following table. Short-Run Effects If Unanticipated Short-Run Effects If Anticipated Aggregate Demand increase/no change/decrease increase/no change/decrease Short-Run Aggregate Supply increase/no change/decrease increase/no change/decrease Price Level increase/no change/decrease increase/no change/decrease Output Level increase/no change/decrease increase/no change/decrease Real Interest Rate increase/no change/decrease increase/no change/decreasearrow_forwardThe diagram on the right shows the demand for money curve in a hypothetical economy. Suppose that the economy is initially at point E. Suppose that due to changes in expectations in the financial markets, the quantity of money demanded increases because of speculative reasons. This change would be associated with a movement from E to point EB C Interest Rate % EB Eo EA Quantity of Money MD (Y,P)arrow_forward
- Money Supply Suppose an economy is in long-run equilibrium. The central bank reduces the money supply by 5 percent. Use your diagram to show what happens to output and the price level as the economy moves from the initial to the new short-run equilibrium. Now adjust the graph to show the new long-run equilibrium. What causes the economy to move from its short-run equilibrium to its long-run equilibrium? 1. The government increases spending to increase aggregate demand. 2. The government increases taxes to curb aggregate demand. 3. Nominal wages, prices, and perceptions adjust upward to this new price level. 4. Nominal wages, prices, and perceptions adjust downward to this new price level. Which of the following is true according to the sticky-wage theory of aggregate supply as a result of the decrease in the money supply? Check all that apply. 1. Nominal wages at the initial equilibrium are equal to nominal wages at the new short-run…arrow_forward1. If LRAS = $500 billion, RGDP = $700 billion, and MPC = .8, then what should the Fed do? Be specific and list all three options. Also draw and label both the current situation and what would occur as the government impacted the economy through their actions. 2. What are the impacts in the short run of the above actions on the following: the market interest rate, the quantity of money demanded, investment spending, aggregate demand, potential output, the price level, and equilibrium RGDP.arrow_forwardSuppose that the central bank must follow a rule that requires it to increase the money supply when the price level falls and decrease the money supply when the price level rises. If the economy starts from long-run equilibrium and aggregate supply shifts left, the central bank must a. decrease the money supply, which will move output back towards its long-run level. b. decrease the money supply, which will move output farther from its long-run level. c. increase the money supply, which will move output back towards its long-run level. d. increase the money supply, which will move output farther from its long-run level.arrow_forward

Communication about the likely future course of monetary policy is known as "forward guidance.". If the central bank increases the reserve ratio, as the market has perfectly expected, which of the following will surely happen? a. The short run economic output will be deviating from its potential output b. The prevailing price level of goods and services in that country will fall c.
