Central bank has the following loss function:L=−(yt −ye)+β(πt −πT )2 (13.1) Consult Chapter 13 to answer the following questions: (a) What can we interpret about the central bank’s preferences from this loss function (Equation 13.1)? (b) Briefly explain how this loss function compares to the standard loss function and a loss function with yT > ye. (c) Find the inflation bias for a central bank with this loss function (Equation 13.1). [Hint: see Section 4.6 in Chapter 4].
The economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Then one day, the president appoints a new Fed chair. This new chair is well known for her view that inflation is not a major problem for an economy. a. How would this news affect the price level that people expect to prevail? b. How would this change in the expected price level affect the nominal wage that workers and firms agree to in their new labor contracts? c. How would this change in the nominal wage affect the profitability of producing goods and services at any given price level?
Lowering the nominal interest rate: Suppose the Fed announces today that it islowering the fed funds rate by 50 “basis points” (that is, by half a percentage point). Using the IS-MP diagram, explain what happens to economic activ-ity in the short run.
How do you know if the Fed's actions achieve the goal of stable prices? The goal of stable prices is achieved when _______. A. the prices of food, clothing, and shelter are stable B. the PCEPI inflation rate excluding food and energy prices is 2 percent a year C. the general level of prices is changing, but we can accurately predict the rate of change D. the inflation rate is zero percent a year
The main argument against monetary policy is that it affects only nominal variables, not real variables. Explain this argument using the method below. I. Explain and show on a graph the short-run and long-run equilibrium changes in the AD/AS model from expansionary monetary policy. How does this support an anti-monetary policy stance? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
A Keynesian economy is described by the following equations. Consumption Cd = 250 + 0.5(Y - T) - 250r Investment Id = 250 - 250r Government purchases G = 300 Government taxes T = 300 Real money demand L = 0.5Y - 500r + πe Money supply M = 3000 Full-employment output Y = 1250 Expected inflation πe = 0 (HINT a: The expected rate of inflation is assumed to equal zero so that money demand depends directly on the real interest rate, which equals the nominal interest rate. Domestic Savings, Sd =Y - C - G. In equilibrium set domestic savings equal to domestic investment, so Sd = Id) Calculate the values of the real interest rate (r), consumption (Cd), and investment (Id) for the economy in general equilibrium.
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that the minimum wage increases to $15 in the United States, which affects the entire labor market and increases the cost of production. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose the Federal Reserve wants to keep prices in the economy as low as possible. Should the Fed intervene? If so, show the impact of successful monetary policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
Use the following information for this problem: Goods Market: Asset Market: C = 3+0.5(Y-T) MS = 25/P; assume that the P=1 initially I = 12-50r MD = Y - 50r T = 10 G = 10 Suppose that when the economy is in the Short Run equilibrium (hand draw a new graph starting at the Short Run) the Federal Reserve wants to conduct a stabilization policy. What is the policy they would use called? Show graphically how they would stabilize.
Are the outcomes of the Fed's actions precise and predictable? The Fed's actions are _______ because _______. A. precise; the time lags in the adjustment process are predictable B. predictable but not precise; the economy does not always respond in exactly the same way to a given policy C. precise; the ripple effects of its actions are well known D. predictable; it is unusual for other factors to influence the outcome
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?
Suppose the Fed wants to set the real interest rate 1 percentage point lower than the inflation rate. Nominal interest rates cannot fall below zero. A. Graph the MP curve for inflation values between -2% and 2%,.
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that, due to increased instability in the financial markets, a decrease in investor and consumer confidence occurs. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose the Federal Reserve wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the Fed intervene? If so, show the impact of successful monetary policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
