This question is about interest rates and Fed policy.a) Define an interest rate. Define inflation, and then define real and nominal interest rates.b) In “normal” times (meaning, pre-2008), one of the main tools of the Fed was open market operations. What is the rate that the Fed would affect with this tool?

In an expansion?c) Suppose that the economy was in a recession, and the rate was close to 0. Would open market operations be effective?
Assume that the current interest rate is 4.0% and the economy is in a mild recession somewhat below YN. Using the model of Liquidity Preference, illustrate with a graph and short explanation how that equilibrium rate of 4.0% is determined. Now, assume the next move by the Fed at its December meeting is to raise the target rate of interest by 50 basis points out of a fear of future inflation. Illustrate this contractionary monetary policy graphically, first through liquidity preference, and then via IS-LM. Could this contractionary move by the Fed result in full employment? Why or why not?
1 Suppose you are the Fed chair. The economy is experiencing inflation at a time of full capacity. You use the Taylor rule. Inflation is currently at 10%. The Fed's target rate is 2%. The economy is operating at 1% above its potential. What level of fed funds would you prescribe? 2. Given the above data, and further suppose the current fed funds rate is 4%, specify at least 3 tools of you would employ, and how you would employ them to achieve your goal? 3 What is a liquidity trap? What phase of the business cycle would you expect to encounter this? 4 Suppose that the target range for the federal funds rate is 4.75 to 5.0 percent but that the equilibrium federal funds rate is currently 5.25 percent. Assume that the equilibrium federal funds rate falls (rises) by 1 percent for each $120 billion in repo (reverse repo) bond transactions the Fed undertakes. If the Fed wishes to raise the equilibrium federal funds rate up to the bottom end of the target range, will it initiate…
Imagine that the economy is experiencing inflation and that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decides to implement a contractionary monetary policy or 'tight money' to return inflation to its target level. 1.What type of open market operations (OMOs) will the RBA undertake consistent with a contractionary monetary policy approach? 2. How will the money supply be affected? 3.Explain how the three stages of transmission process from a contractionary monetary policy link a change in interest rates with a change in an economy’s equilbrium level of output. 4.Using the IS-LM curve diagram, illustrate the impact of a contractionary monetary policy. Make sure to clearly indicate the new equilibrium position including the interest rate and output
