The U.S. Federal Reserve responded to the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns by implementing an expansionary monetary policy, causing the M2 money supply to rise from$15.3trillion in December 2019 to$18.3 trillion in July 2020. Over the same period, real GDP fell by 5.1 percent. (a) Assuming that the velocity of money was constant over this period, what should the inflation rate be, based on the quantity equation? Show your work. (b) Why would you not expect inflation to be immediate, following the Fed’s monetary expansion?
Suppose that this year’s money supply is $500 billion, nominal GDP is $10 trillion, and real GDP is $5 trillion.a. What is the price level? What is the velocity of money?b. Suppose that velocity is constant and the economy’s output of goods and services rises by 5 percent each year. What will happen to nominal GDP and the price level next year if the Fed keeps the money supply constant.c. What money supply should the Fed set next year if it wants to keep the price level stable?d. What mone
D) what kind of monetary policy might be helpful to stabilize the economy ( expansionary or contractionary)? E) what specific monetary policy tools does the federal reserve have available to use in this scenario? F) explain in detal, how should the federal reserve use each ofthese tools to maximize their effect in stabilizing the economy, what will be the likely effect of each monetary tool's use on the money supply , and the resulting impact on the economy
To increase the money supply, the New York Fed is directed to carry out Select one: O a. discretionary lending. O b. quantitative easing. O C. O d. anopen-market sale. O quantitative tightening
Suppose the monetary authority on Ferenginar wants to know about the relationship between money growth and inflation. You decide to use the Quantity Theory of Money in terms of percentage changes, which is given by%∆Mt + %∆Vt = πt + %∆yt (a) Suppose the income elasticity of demand for money is equal to 1, andoutput is independent of monetary policy. If %∆Mt=5%, what is inflation (πt)? (b) Suppose that the income elasticity of demand for money is 1, and output is not independent of monetary policy. If Inflation is 3%, and %∆Mtis 2%, what is output
According to the quantity theory of money and theFisher effect, if the central bank increases the rateof money growth, thena. inflation and the nominal interest rate bothincrease.b. inflation and the real interest rate both increase.c. the nominal interest rate and the real interestrate both increase.d. inflation, the real interest rate, and the nominalinterest rate all increase.
When the velocity of money is independent of the price level, the interest rate, the money supply and the level of real GDP. the quantity theory predicts that Select one: a.The growth rate of real GDP = Growth rate of money supply + Inflation rate O b. The inflation rate if positive when the growth rate of money supply = growth rate of real GDP c. The inflation rate is positive when the growth rate of the money supply is less than the growth rate of GDP d. growth rate of real GDP + inflation rate = Grow rate of money supply Oe The inflation rate is constant.

Let's reenact a simplified version of the 1981–1982 Volcker disinflation. Expected inflation and actual inflation are both 10%, real growth is 3%, and to keep it simple assume that velocity growth is zero. Thus, we have AD: Money growth = inflation + real growth. Now let's define a simple SRAS curve: Inflation = expected inflation + 1 × (real growth rate – Solow growth rate). How fast did the money supply grow at this point, before Volcker started fighting inflation? 10% 7% 3% None of the answers is correct.
