IS curve shows: (a) that realized savings are most likely a function of interest rates, because changes in interest rates result in changes in precautionary demand for money; (b) the combinations of investments and incomes that result in the supply and demand for money being equal to one another; (c) the locus of all combinations of interest rates and incomes that will result in realized investment and realized savings being equal to one another; (d) that increases in output typically are caused by increases in interest rates.

In the discussion of the life-cycle hypothesis, income is assumed to be constant during the period before retirement. For most people, however, income grows over their lifetimes. How does this growth in income influence the lifetime pattern of consumption and wealth accumulation shown in Figure 17-12 under the following conditions? Consumers can borrow, so their wealth can be negative. Consumers face borrowing constraints that prevent their wealth from falling below zero. Do you consider case (a) or case (b) to be more realistic? Why?
At the current interest rate, suppose the supply of money is less than the demand for money. Given this information, we know that: a) the price of bonds will tend increase. b) the price of bonds will tend to fall. c) production equals demand. d) the goods market is in equilibrium.
Which of the following are true: People demand cash only to finance transactions. TRUE / FALSE The demand for money has fallen during the Covid-19 pandemic TRUE / FALSE During times of economic uncertainty people hoard cash. TRUE / FALSE
It is easier to account for changes over time by using logarithms of demand for money and income. The following equation can be used? log (MD/P) = α + βi + γlog(y) + ε
PLEASE ANSWER ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (1-4) 1. Which of the following is FALSE in regards to an overnight target rate of 3.25%? a) The Bank of Canada will pay 3% interest on Chartered Banks' deposits with the Bank of Canada. b) The Bank of Canada will charge 3.5% on loans taken by the Chartered Banks from the Bank of Canada. c) The unemployment rate MUST be equal to the overnight target rate. Hence the unemployment rate is ALSO EQUAL to 3.5%. d) The overnight target rate is the interest rate that Chartered Banks will use when borrowing and lending money to each other. e) There are NO FALSE statements. All solutions provided are correct. 2. If there is an expected increase in Canada's overnight rate, what should we expect to occur? a) The Canadian dollar will be more valuable relative to other currencies. The Canadian dollar sees an increase in demand by foreigners seeking Canadian bonds and interest bearing investments. b) Canadian exports will rise. c) The stock market will…
Jack and Jill both obey the two-period Fisher model of consumption. Jack earns $200 in the first period and $200 in the second period. Jill earns nothing in the first period and $410 in the second period. Both of them can borrow or lend at the interest rate r. a. You observe both Jack and Jill consuming $200 in the first period and $200 in the second period. What is the interest rate r? b. Suppose the interest rate increases. What will happen to Jack’s consumption in the first period? Is Jack better off or worse off than before the interest rate rise? c. What will happen to Jill’s consumption in the first period when the interest rate increases? Is Jill better off or worse off than before the interest rate increase?

Explain why the IS curve is downward sloping in the interest rate-output space.
Assume that the money demand function is (M / P) ^ d = 2, 200 - 200r , where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 2,000 and the price level P is 2. The consumption function is given by C = 200 + 0.5(Y - T) and the investment function is I = 1.000 - 200r , where r is measured in percent , G equals 300, and T equals 200. a) What is the equilibrium level of interest rate determined at the money market?
It is a well-known fact that high-interest rates make loans more expensive. When interest rates are high, fewer people and businesses can afford to borrow. That lowers the amount of credit available to fund purchases, slowing consumer demand. At the same time, it encourages more people to save because they receive more on their savings rate. High-interest rates also reduce the capital available to expand businesses, strangling supply. This reduction in liquidity slows the economy and results in decrease in GDP. It is understood that the low-interest rates stimulate all types of real investments and thus economic growth. However, savings rates fall, when savers find they get less interest on their deposits, and thus they might decide to spend more. They might also put their money into slightly riskier but more profitable investments, which drives up stock prices. Based on this, it can be claimed that (especially high) interest rates are detrimental to economic growth as well as income…
Suppose the law changes and the corporate income tax rate has been cut in half. As a result, corporations decide to purchase new buildings and equipment. As a result we can expect a shift in the [ Select ] supply of or demand for funds curve and as a result the equilibrium interest rate will [ Select ] increase or decrease .
Consumption and the real interest rate: According to the life-cycle / permanent-income hypothesis, consumption depends on the present discounted value of income. An increase in the real interest rate will make future income worth less, thereby reducing the present discounted value and reducing consumption. To incorporate this channel into the model, suppose the consumption equation is given by Assume the remainder of the model is unchanged from the original setup, as in Table 11.1. (a) Derive the IS curve for this new specification. (b) How and why does it differ from the original IS curve?
