If the equilibrium market exchange rate were significantly lower at $0.007 per yen, what would the Fed need to do to maintain the fixed rate of $0.008 per yen? What would be the effect of these actions on the money supply in the U.S.? Explain.

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.
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.
The economy of Zarland is operating below the full-employment level of output with a balanced budget. answer only 2 and 3 As a result of the interest rate change associated with the expansionary monetary policy, will the supply of Zarland’s currency in the foreign exchange market increase, decrease, or remain the same in the short run? Explain. Based on your answer in part (1), will the value of Zarland’s currency in the foreign exchange market increase, decrease, or remain the same in the short run? Following the change in the value of Zarland’s currency that you identified in part (2), will Zarland’s exports increase, decrease, or remain the same in the short run? Explain.
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…
