Consider a fall in the money supply and the impact that this will have on equilibrium in the goods market via both transmission mechanisms. Which of the following would lead to the biggest change in national income following this fall in the money supply? (a) An investment demand curve that is unresponsive to interest rate changes and an elastic liquidity preference curve. (b) An elastic investment demand curve and a high level of responsiveness from export and import demand following a change in the exchange rate. (c) A lack of responsiveness of the exchange rate to interest rate changes and an endogenous money supply. (d) A low level of responsiveness from export and import demand to a change in interest rates and an exogenous money supply curve.
For this question, let it represent the interest rate on the U.S. one-year discount bond, i ∗ t represent the interest rate on the British one-year discount bond, and E represent the dollar price of the British pound. Assume that policy makers are pursuing a flexible exchange rate regime, and that P is fixed (therefore, ignore any AS/AD analysis.) (a) Suppose the Fed decides to increase the money supply. Based on your understanding of the market for foreign exchange, graphically illustrate and explain what effect this expansionary monetary policy will have on the market for foreign exchange and on the exchange rate (E). (b) Now, suppose there are two countries identical in every way with the following exception: country A is closed in terms of both the goods and financial markets while country B is open with a flexible exchange rate regime. Further suppose that the central banks in both countries increase the money supply by the same amount. Briefly explain the extent to which, if…
Consider the following: C = 400 + 0.5·(Y – T) I = 80 + 0.1·Y – 1000·(i – πe + x)NX = 0.01·Y*– 0.1·Y – 4·(E – 100) G = 600 T = 480 Y* = 20,000 The central bank anchored inflation expectations at target inflation rate of π̅= 0.02. Household borrowing rates and businesses include a 4% risk premium over policy rate (i) so: x - 0.04. The central bank has set policy rate equal to 2% (, ī = 0.02). The Exchange rate (E) is 100. Expected future exchange rate is also 100. Then assume the governent cuts tax level from T=480 to T′ = 400: a) Find the short run equilibrium level of output and trade balance? a) If the economy was at potential before, what effects will the tax cut form 480 to 400 have on investments and on trade balance in the medium run?

Expected future exchange rate is also 100. a) Find short-run equilibrium level of output (Y) and trade balance (NX). Is there a trade deficit or surplus? b) Assume the governent cuts tax level to ?′ = 400. What is the new short run equilibrium level of output (?′) and trade balance (NX'). Is this economy suffering from twin deficits (trade and budget). What policy change could help?c) what is the value of the fiscal multiplier fromt he tax cut? if it were a closed economy would it be greater or smaller? d) What effects will the tax cuts have on investments and on the…
Assume that increasing price levels cause the above shift in money demand. If the central bank desired to keep levels of investment consistent with those prior to the shift of MD, what would be their optimal solution using open market operations? a. Decrease the discount rate b. Increase the federal budget deficit c. Enforce tariffs on imported resources d. Increase money supply by purchasing securities e. Sell securities in order to increase borrowing activity
One of the central features of all macroeconomic models is that money is neutral in the long run. Using our expanded IS/LM model of an open economy, explain whether monetary policy is neutral in the same way under both fixed and floating exchange rates. In your answer, explain what money neutrality means.
Assume that the government is implementing an expansionary fiscal policy and as a result has increased borrowing. At the same time, the central bank is carrying out a contractionary monetary policy. As a result, we can expect: Interest rates would rise substantially and private investments would be significantly reduced. Interest rates would not change substantially as the 2 policies counterbalance each other, and private investments would not be significantly reduced. Interest rates and private investments would rise. Interest rates and private investments would fall.
In 1992, several European countries had their individual currencies pegged to the ECU (a pre-cursor to the euro) in anticipation of forming a common currency area. In practice, this meant that countries were pegged to the German deutschmark (DM). This question considers how two different countries responded to the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) Crisis. For the following situations, you need only consider short-run effects. Also, treat Germany as the foreign country. (a) Following the economic consequences of German reunification in 1990, the Bundesbank (Germany’s central bank) raises its interest rate. On September 14, 1992, Great Britain decided to float the British pound (£) against the DM. Using the foreign exchange market, the money market, and treating Britain as the home country, graphically illustrate the effects of Germany increasing its interest rate on Great Britain. (b) After Britain abandoned the ERM (e.g., allowed its currency to float against the DM), investors…
A central bank has set a target cash rate of 1 %, while paying banks 0.75% on their exchange settelement account balances and charging an interest rate of 1.25% to banks needing to borrow reserves overninght from the central bank. Suppose that central bank purchases large quantities of government bonds from private banks and other investors, as part of a policy of quantiative easing , without changing any of the above interest rates. what will happen to the cash rate? 1, it will fall towards 0.75% 2, it will remain at 1.0% 3, it will rise to 1.25% 4, it will rise to 1.25% 5, it will fluctuate between 1.25% and 1.75% 6, it will fail to 0%
The cash rate in Australia is a benchmark interest rate which is set by the Board of the Reserve Bank of Australia and has recently been at a record low. (a) State the cash rate announced at the September, 2021, meeting of the Board of the Reserve Bank of Australia. (b) If the cash rate were to increase, would you expect the Australian dollar to increase or decrease against most other currencies? Explain your answer. (c) If the cash rate were to decrease, would you expect the Australian dollar to increase or decrease against most other currencies? Explain your answer. (d) Explain why the cash rate is not expected to increase until 2024 at the earliest?
