Consider an economy with a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y=100, and a constant real interest rate r =0.10. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is 0.5 and the interest elasticity of money demand is -0.1. A. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if output increases to Y=106 (and r remains a 0.10)? B. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if the real interest rate increases to r=0.11 (and Y remains at 100)? C. Suppose that the real interest rate increases to r=0.11. What would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Suppose that the real money demand function is L(Y,r+πe)=0.3Y÷ (r+πe) Where Y is real output, r is the real interest rate, and πe is the expected rate of inflation. Real output is constant over time at Y = 1500. The real interest rate is fixed in the goods market at r = 0.5 per year. Suppose that the nominal money supply is growing at the rate of 10% per year and that this growth rate is expected to persist for ever. Currently, the nominal money supply is M = 400. What are the values of the real money supply and the current price level? (Hint: What is the value of the expected inflation rate that enters the money demand function?). Suppose that the nominal money supply is M = 400. The Bank of Namibia announces that from now on the nominal money supply will grow at the rate of 5% per year. If everyone believes this announcement, and if all markets are in equilibrium, what are the values of real money supply and the current price level? Explain the effects on the…
Assume that the demand for real money balance (M / P) is M / P = 0.8Y – 200i, where Y is national income, and i is the nominal interest rate (in percent). The real interest rate r is fixed at 5 percent by the investment and saving functions. The expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth. If Y is 2,500, P is 1.2, and the growth rate of nominal money is 2 percent, what must i and M be? Show all your work, show formula used and explain why.
The demand for real money balances is given by , where M is the quantity of money, P is the price level, Y is output, and i is the nominal interest rate which is measured in percent. At the beginning of the year, the nominal interest rate is 5%. Over the year, the monetary base increases by 4%, the money multiplier increases by 2%, the output increases by 1% percent, and the nominal interest rate decreases by 10 BASIS POINTS. (a) If the ex ante real interest rate equals 0.5%, find the expected inflation rate at the beginning of the year. (b) Calculate the percentage change in the velocity of money. (c) [In answering this question, you are allowed to use the approximations regarding percentage changes; see page 4 of the math review (slide set 3).] Calculate the actual inflation rate. (d) Is it true that purchasing power was transferred from lenders to borrowers?
Suppose the interest rate that banks in Techland charge one another for overnight loans is 5 percent, the long-term nominal interest rate is 4.5 percent, and the long-term expected inflation rate is 3 percent. What is the long-term expected real interest rate? How will the long-term expected real interest rate be affected if the central bank of Techland starts purchasing government bonds from banks?
d) Suppose the money demand function was of the following form: M^d / P = Y η What must the central bank do to achieve an inflation target of 2% over the long-run given a growth rate of income of 5% and an elasticity of money demand with respect to income of 0.8? You can assume that the real rate of interest, r, is fixed at 6%.
Suppose the current inflation rate is a constant 7% and the central bank implements a disinflation policy to reduce it to its target rate of 3%. To achieve this objective the central bank, by increasing its cash rate, raise the nominal interest rate from its current 9% to 14%. In the long run, at which the central bank achieves its inflation target, what will be the nominal rate of interest, the real rate of interest and the inflation rate?
Suppose that an economy has a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y = 1500, and a constant real interest rate r = 0.05, and it’s expected rate of inflation is 2%, i.e, πe = .02. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is ηY = 0.5 and the interest elasticity of demand ηi = –0.2. (a) Suppose that Y decreases to 1425, r remains constant at 0.05 and there is no change in the expected rate of inflation. What is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (b) Suppose that r increases to 0.06 and Y remains at 1500. Assuming that expected inflation remains at πe = .02, what is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (c) Suppose that r increases to 0.06. Assuming that πe = .02, what would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value?
In an economy, the money supply growth rate is 5.0%, the equilibrium real interest rate is 1.5%, the potential growth rate is 4.0%, the economic growth rate is 1.0%, the inflation rate is 3.0%, the unemployment rate is 4.5%, and the rate of increase in the circulation speed is -2%. In this case, in an economy that pursues an inflation target of 2.0%, what is the appropriate interest rate target based on Taylor's rule? (Omit the unit and answer with the first decimal place.)
