On June 5, 2003, the European Central Bank acted to decreasethe short-term interest rate in Europe by half a percentagepoint, to 2 percent. The bank’s president at the time, WillemDuisenberg, suggested that, in the future, the bank could reducerates further. The rate cut was made because European coun-tries were growing very slowly or were in recession. What effectdid the bank hope the action would have on the economy? Bespecific. What was the hoped-for result on C, I, and Y?

The following set of equations describe an economy: C = 15,000+0.5(r-T)-50,000 rl^P = 10,000 - 25,000 г G = 8,000 NX = 2,600 T = 8,200 Y^* = 46,800 a. Find a numerical equation relating planned aggregate expenditure to output and to the real interest rate. PAE = b. At what value should the Fed set the real interest rate to eliminate any output gap? (Hint Set output Y equal to the value of potentia output given above in the equation you found in part a. Then solve for the real interest rate that also sets planned aggregate expenditure equal to potential output.) Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. Real rate of interest:
1) The IS-LM Model a) In the IS/LM model explain what happens to equilibrium output and interest rate if governmentsimultaneously pursues expansionary fiscal policy and the central bank opts for a contractionarymonetary policy. Show with the help of a graph along with a very brief verbal explanation. b) Label the statements below as true or false and give a brief explanation for false statementsonly. i) For a given level of P (price), if M (nominal money) increases by 10%, M/P also increases by10% ii) A monetary expansion leads to a lower output and a higher interest rate. iii) Equilibrium in the financial market implies that an increase in income leads to a decrease ininterest rate making the LM curve downward sloping. c) Assume a model economy with the following parameters:C= 100 + 0.25 YD ; I= 100 + 0.5Y - 3000iG= 125 ; T= 100 ;(M/P)d = 6Y - 24000i ; (M/P)s = 4500Derive the IS and LM relation. 2) The short and medium run a) Suppose that the mark-up of goods prices over marginal…
