The demand for real money balances is given by , where M is the quantity of money, P is the price level, Y is output, and i is the nominal interest rate which is measured in percent. At the beginning of the year, the nominal interest rate is 5%. Over the year, the monetary base increases by 4%, the money multiplier increases by 2%, the output increases by 1% percent, and the nominal interest rate decreases by 10 BASIS POINTS. (a) If the ex ante real interest rate equals 0.5%, find the expected inflation rate at the beginning of the year. (b) Calculate the percentage change in the velocity of money. (c) [In answering this question, you are allowed to use the approximations regarding percentage changes; see page 4 of the math review (slide set 3).] Calculate the actual inflation rate. (d) Is it true that purchasing power was transferred from lenders to borrowers?
Assume the money supply is $300, the velocity of money is 5, and the price level is 1. Using the quantity theory of money: a. Determine the level of real output. b. Determine the level of nominal output. c. Assuming velocity remains constant, what will happen if the money supply rises 20 percent? Real output would be $C, and real output would be $|
According to the transmission mechanism of money,a. For constant output, if the real money supply exceeds the real quantity of money demanded, what will happen to the real interest rate that clears the asset market? (In describing the adjustment of the real interest rate, use the relationship that exists between the price of a non-monetary asset and the interest rate that it pays). Is money effective? (Does the change in nominal money supply cause real output to change?). Explain with details.
Suppose the economywide demand for money is given by: M = P(0.2Y – 25,000i). The price level Pequals 3, and real output Y equals 8,000. At what value should the Fed set the nominal money supply if it wants to set the nominal interestrate at 2 percent?
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?
Consider the model of money demand we saw in class. Let the elasticity of money demand with respect to real income be 0.8 and the elasticity of money demand with respect to the interest rate on non-monetary assets be -0.2. Imagine that real income increased by 2.75% and nominal interest rate on non-monetary assets increased by 0.2%. If the central bank wants inflation to be at exactly 2%, it should increase money supply by _____ percent. what goes in blank?
Assume the money supply is $1,000, the velocity of money is 12, and the price level is $4. Using the quantity theory of money: (a) Determine the level of real output. (b) Determine the level of nominal output. (c) Assuming velocity remains constant and that the economy is at full-employment equilibrium, what will happen if the money supply rises by 10%?
consider the money demand function. If the money supply is expected to be decreased in the next month what is the effect on the inflation this month? Describe briefly.
Suppose the nominal interest rate on car loans is 11% per year, and both actual and expected inflation are equal to 4%. Complete the first row of the table by filling in the expected real interest rate and the actual real interest rate before any change in the money supply. Time Period Nominal Interest Rate (Percent) Expected Inflation (Percent) Actual Inflation (Percent) Expected Real Interest Rate (Percent) Actual Real Interest Rate (Percent) Before increase in MS 11 4 4 Immediately after increase in MS 11 4 6 Now suppose the Fed unexpectedly increases the growth rate of the money supply, causing the inflation rate to rise unexpectedly from 4% to 6% per year. Complete the second row of the table by filling in the expected and actual real interest rates on car loans immediately after the increase in the money supply (MS). The unanticipated change in inflation arbitrarily benefits (a. borrows, b. lenders). Now consider…
Consider an economy with a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y=100, and a constant real interest rate r =0.10. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is 0.5 and the interest elasticity of money demand is -0.1. A. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if output increases to Y=106 (and r remains a 0.10)? B. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if the real interest rate increases to r=0.11 (and Y remains at 100)? C. Suppose that the real interest rate increases to r=0.11. What would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

The economy of Macro Island is described by the quantity equation with constant velocity. All residents of Macro Island understand the quantity theory and use it to form their expectations of inflation. Real income grows at a steady 2 percent per year, and the nominal interest rate is 5 percent. In one year, people had expected the money supply to grow by 4 percent, but in fact it grew by only 3 percent. a. What was the inflation rate? (3% 4% 1% 2%) b. What was the expected inflation rate? (1% 4% 3% 2%) c. What was the ex ante real interest rate? (4% 2% 1% 3%) d. What was the ex post real interest rate? (2% 1% 4% 3%) e. Did the deviation of inflation from what was expected hurt creditors or debtors? ( Creditors Debtors)
