i) Monetary policy in a liquidity trap. Suppose the money demand is given by: M = $Y (0.25 - i) as long as the interest rates are positive. The questions below then refer to situations where the interest rate is zero. Once the interest rate is zero, can the central bank continue to increase money supply?

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
4. Here is the expression for money market equilibrium that we discussed in class: M = P· L(Y,r +n°) In growth rates, this expression is written: %AP %AM – %AL(Y,r + n°) a) Suppose the elasticity of money demand to a change in output is 1. If the central bank causes the money supply to grow at a 12% rate, and if output grows at a 7% rate, what will the inflation rate be? b) Repeat question a, in this case with the money supply growing at a 9% rate. c) In general, what is the relationship between money growth and inflation? d) What is monetary neutrality and how does it affect your answers to part c?
Explain in detail the process of Monetary Policy transmission of a decrease in the cashinterest rate. Use relevant graphs to describe how a Central Bank’s action on the interest cashrate ripple through the economy and lead to the target policy goal. (Three connected diagramsshould be used: (1) money supply and demand (2) investment demand schedule (3) AS/ADdiagram. Interest rates is the variable that connects the first and second diagram).
Suppose that the economy has the following money supply and demand equations: Money Supply: M = 8000Money Demand: M= 10,000 – 40,000rwhere money is in billions of dollars and interest rates, r , is written as a decimal(e.g., an interest rate of 10% would be written as .1 in the equation).A. Determine the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of money.B. What will happen in the money market if the interest rate is currently 10%?

What will happen in the money market if the interest rate is currently 10%?What is the amount of excess supply of or excess demand for money?C. Show in graph that at this interest rate (10%) there is disequilibrium in themoney market.2. Assume that a particular bank has excess reserves of Php800,000 and checkabledeposits of Php1,500,000. If the reserve ratio is 20%, what is the size of the bank’sactual reserves?3. Suppose that GRAB Bank is a newly created bank in your hometown. Consider thefollowing transactions: Owners of the bank sold shares of stocks to the public (which includes owners’equity) amounting to P1,000,000. To fully…
b. The following equation is used to model money supply under fractional-reserve bankıng: cr + 1 M x B cr + rr Identify the variables within the equation ii) i) Explain how the exogenous variables within the equation influence money supply and cause it to change. iii) Suppose the banks in an economy have a reserve-deposit ratio of 12 percent and the currency-deposit ratio is 25 percent. Also, the Central Bank increases the monetary base by $400 through open market operations, how would the money supply change?
The public holds no currency. The ratio of reserves to deposits is 0.1. The demand for moneyin an economy is given by Md = $Y(0.8 – 4i). Initially, the monetary base is $100 billion, andnominal income is $5000 billion (or $5 trillion).Please answer the following questions:A) What is the demand for central bank money?B) Find the equilibrium interest rate by setting the demand for central bank money equalto the supply of central bank money.C) What is the value for money multiplier?D) Given that overall money supply equals (1/reserve ratio)*monetary base, is it equal tothe overall demand for money at the interest rate you found in part (B)?
10) Which of the following sequence of events follows a fall in money demand? A) rį =K = AD =}. C) ↑ =14 = ADĮ = Yņ. B) ↑ = =AD↑ = Y. D) rl =14 = ADĮ = Y†.
true, false or uncertain: Suppose a monetary authority increases the supply of money. This change will have more effect on spending behaxiout if the demand curve for money is more interest rate responsive than if it is less interest rate responsive.
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 the Federal Reserve conducts an open market sale. This is considered monetary policy. In response, the size of the monetary base and the size of the money supply O contractionary; grows; grows by more expansionary: grows; grows by more contractionary; shrinks; shrinks by less O contractionary; shrinks; shrinks by more O expansionary; grows; grows by less
E4 Assume the real money demand of an economy is:(Md/P) = 2×Yb(r + πe)-awhere 0 < b < 1 and 0 < a < 1.a) Use the real money demand above to determine the velocity of money.b) Does the quantity theory of money hold in this economy? Explain.c) Show with calculus how the velocity of money reacts to a change in output and a changein the nominal interest rate.d) Find the income and the nominal interest rate elasticities of money demand.
