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.)

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?
If for a certain economy the growth rate of the money supply is 3%, the growth rate of the velocity of money then the quantity theory of money is 1%, the rate of inflation is 2.5%, and the real growth rate is holds. 1.5% 0.5% 4.5% 6.5%
Suppose real GDP is equal to $100 trillion, the money supply is equal to $50 trillion and the price level is equal to 2. In this case, the velocity of money is equal to ________.
Consider an economy described by the following equations:Y = C + I + G (1)C = 100 + 0.75(Y − T) (2)I = 500 – 50 r (3)G = 125T = 100where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at its natural rate), GDP would be 2,000.1. Suppose the central bank’s policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r = 4. Solve for GDP. Is it greater or lower than full-employment level? How much 2. Assuming no change in monetary policy (as was in part i), what change in government purchases would restore full employment?1. Assuming no change in fiscal policy, what change in the interest rate would restore full employment?
The effect of monetary inflation on interest rates would be: to cause rates to initially fall, but as prices rise, interest rates will also rise. to cause rates to initially rise, but as prices fall, interest rates will also fall. to cause rates to initially fall, and as prices rise, interest rates will also fall much more rapidly. to cause rates to initially fall, and as prices rise, interest rates will stay the same.
If inflation is 5%, the real growth rate is 3%, and the change in velocity is 2%, then the increase in the money supply is _____
Compute nominal GDP if velocity remains constant at 5 and the money supply increases from GHS200bn to GHS300bn
Consider an economy for which the current GDP is $800 billion, “the” multiplier is 3, the income multiplier with respect to the money supply is 4, the money multiplier is 5, the marginal tax rate is 20%, the real interest rate is 3%, the current budget deficit is $30 billion, the long‐run real rate of growth is 2%, the current money supply is $200 billion, the rate of money supply growth is 10%, and financial innovations are decreasing money demand by 1% per year. Marks are given for your explanations, not the final answer. What should be the long‐run rate of inflation? What should be the price of a T‐bill due to mature in six months at its face value of $1,000?
Suppose that velocity of money is constant, the expected inflation rate is always equal to the actual inflation rate, and the expected real interest rate is 3%. Answer the following questions. Justify your answers. -When the growth rate of the money supply is 8% and the growth rate of real GDP is 2%, what is the nominal interest rate?
The neutrality of money revisited a. Fill in the empty spaces after Year 1 in the chart below: b. What is the growth rate of the nominal money supply between years 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4? c. What is the rate of inflation between years 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4? d. What is the change in the real money supply between years 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4? e. What assumption has been made about real output growth if this data describe the medium run?
Suppose a country has a money demand function (M/P)d=kY, where k is a constant parameter. The money supply grows by 12 percent per year, and real income grows by 4 percent per year. What is the average inflation rate?
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?
