A. (CHAPTER 6) Suppose there are two islands. The total population on the two islands is 800 people. The stock of fiat money is $400. The growth rate of fiat money is 1.2. The probability that a person is in island 1 is 1/6 and in island 2 is 5/6. The labour supply decision is fixed at 10 units (in terms of goods). i. Write down the money market clearing condition for each island and solve for the price level in date 1 for each island. ii. Calculate the dollar value and real value of transfers given to each old person in each islands.

5. Economists continue to be puzzled by the appar- ent home bias of investors across countries. With mean-variance preferences, investors ought to allo- cate much more of their wealth to foreign equities and bonds. Three explanations for the phenomenon are given below, all of them based on empirical facts. For each one, discuss whether the statements are true or false and in what sense they help, or fail, to rationalize the home bias puzzle. In answering the questions, assume that investors have mean- variance preferences. a. Investors should not hold foreign equities be- cause they are more volatile and have been yielding lower returns than U.S. stocks in re- cent years. b. Home bias arises because investors face an ad- ditional risk when investing internationally— namely, currency risk. Because currency risk makes returns more volatile but does not lead to a higher expected return, investing more in domestic…

Under one plan for Social Security reform, younger workers can put up to $1,000 of their payroll taxes into an individual retirement account (IRA) in exchange for lower benefits when they retire. However, advocates of this plan typically offer a method of ensuring that funds in an IRA are turned into benefits that work in a Social Security–like fashion (e.g., monthly payments until one dies). (a) What restriction could policy makers implement to ensure that money in an IRA be paid similarly to Social Security? (b) Why wouldn't policy makers simply allow individuals to accept a lower level of Social Security benefits in exchange for a lower level of taxation without also mandating that individuals put the saved tax funds in an IRA?
True or false, with explanation Suppose the bank deposit has 30% annual interest rate. It implies that the purchasing power of depositors increases by 30% after one year.
6.. The Diamond-Dybvig Model of Bank Runs 1. We know from problem Diamond’s article (2007, p. 194) that are the socially optimal deposit returns when f=1/4. Suppose that, even though the true fraction of agents with liquidity needs in period 1 is ¼, agents think (incorrectly) that the proportion is f=.60. Will there be a run?
Respond to the question with a concise and accurate answer, along with a clear explanation and step-by-step solution, or risk receiving a downvote. Money Circulates around the economy. So it expands, if one person had $100 they may spend $95 and that Person may then spend $90.25 . . . and so on. That same $100 has already 'grown' into $285.25 with just a couple transactions and people keeping 5%. The amount it could grow to if we counted every transaction in the circle, and if everyone kept 5% would be 100/.05 = $2,000. In class we calculate the growth amount and then multiplied by the initial amount. 1/RR = 1/.05 = 20 20 * 100 = $2,000 So if we had $10,000 in an area and the Bank had a Reserve Requirement of 10% the initial $10,000 would grow into?
Malaysians are at their worst financial position in 2022 compared with the last five years, and thelooming recession may push them to the brink with dwindling savings coupled with theaftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. A recent survey by Malaysian financial services websiteRinggitPlus revealed that 70 per cent of Malaysians saved less than RM500 per month (S$153)in 2022 or did not save at all. “This is compared with 52 per cent of Malaysians saving less thanRM500 monthly in 2021, the largest year-on-year increase since 2018,” the RinggitPlusMalaysian Financial Literacy Survey 2022 showed....Mr Patrick Tay, deals partner, economicsand policy at Malaysia PwC, is not surprised by the decline in savings in 2022. “One reason forthe depleted savings is low wages and higher inflation. But another key reason is that Malaysiansare spending more post-pandemic on holidays or other leisure expenses because some may feelthat they saved during the pandemic, and it is fine to now spend this year…
HOW DO T-BILL YIELDS GO NEGATIVE? BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM The week of September 15, 2008, was ripe with volatility in U.S. financial markets. Events unfolding in the wake of the mortgage crisis made investors extremely fearful. One result of this fear was a “flight to quality” as investors sought to avoid risk by moving their funds into the safest asset classes. U.S. Treasury securities (or “Treasuries,” as they’re commonly known) are one such asset class, considered to have virtually no risk. An article from the Associated Press (Madlen Read, “Treasures Dip on RTC Speculation, but Anxiety High,” September 18, 2008) discusses some of the factors that led investors to bid up the prices of 3-month United States Treasury bills (T-bills) to such an extent that their yields fell to a shockingly low level. Before 2008, the last time the T-bill yield was negative was 1940, in the early stages of World War II. According to the article: Heavy buying of the 3-month Treasury bill,…
