Suppose the Federal Reserve enacts contractionary monetary policy to offset covid-era quantitative easing and avoid long-run inflationary pressure. Use our simultaneous equilibrium model to show the effects of such a policy action on US interest rates as well as the value of the dollar relative to the Japanese Yen.

How would a contractionary monetary policy affect the exchange rate, net exports, aggregate demand, and aggregate supply?
we make use of the general monetary model here, where L is no longer assumed constant, and money demand is inversely related to the nominal interest rate. Recall from that earlier question inflation rate in Korea is = 10% and inflation rate in Japan is = 0%. In addition, assume that the bank deposits in Japan pay 2% interest rate (i¥ = 2%). Compute the interest rate paid on South Korean won deposits (iwon). Using the definition of the real interest rate, show that the real interest rate in South Korea (rwon) is equal to the real interest rate in Japan (r¥) Suppose the Bank of Korea decreases the money growth rate from 15% to 10% and the inflation rate falls proportionately (one for one) with this decrease. If the nominal interest rate in Japan remains unchanged, what happens to the interest rate paid on Korean won deposits? Using time series diagrams (impulse graphs), illustrate how this decrease in the money growth rate affects South Korea’s…
According to Baxter-Moore what are the 9 policy instruments? Explain each instrument in short.
This question considers how the FX market will respond to changes in monetary policy in South Korea. For these questions, define the exchange rate as South Korean won per Japanese yen, Ewon/¥. Use the FX and money market diagrams to answer the following questions. On all graphs, label the initial equilibrium point A. a. Suppose the Bank of Korea permanently decreases its money supply. Illustrate the short-run (label equilibrium point B) and long-run effects (label equilibrium point C) of this policy. b. Now, suppose the Bank of Korea announces it plans to permanently decrease its money supply but doesn’t actually implement this policy. How will this affect the FX market in the short run if investors believe the Bank of Korea’s announcement? Please illustrate your answer graphically as well labeling the short run equilibrium B. c. Finally, suppose the Bank of Korea permanently decreases its money supply, but this change is not anticipated. When the Bank of Korea…
Now, Assume that Peruvian government responds by using monetary policy to stabilize output after a shock. For each of the following situations, use the IS-LM-FX model to illustrate the effects of the shock and the policy response.For each case, state the effect of the shock on the following variables (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous): Y, i, E, C, I, TB. a. Peru's main trading partner, China, enters into a recession. China's output decreases. b. Investors expect a depreciation of the Sol, the Peruvian currency. c. The money supply in Peru increases. d. Peruvian government increases government spending. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely.

True-False with explanationA monetary expansion only changes inflation on the long run
Suppose that in a small open economy exchange rates are fixed. The AD and AS curves are given by:AD:Y =110+2G−T−10π AS:Y =105+10(π−π ̄)where Y is output, G is government spending, T is taxes, π is inflation and π ̄ is core inflation. Why does aggregate demand not depend on monetary policy? What is the natural rate of output? Suppose we are at the long run equilibrium. Suppose also that the government is running a balanced budget and world inflation is equal to 1. What are the values of G, T, Y, π and π ̄? If the government sets both G and T to 10, what will happen to Y and π in the short run?

Consider the relationship among exchange-rate changes, aggregate demand, and monetary policy. Assume we begin in a situation with real GDP equal to Y∗.Y*. Suppose the world price for raw materials rises because of growing demand for these products. Given that Canada is a net exporter of raw materials, what is the likely effect on Canadian aggregate demand? Show this in an AD/AS diagram (assuming no change in the exchange rate). Suppose instead that there is an increase in the demand by foreigners for Canadian financial assets such as government bonds. What is the direct effect on Canadian aggregate demand? Show this in an AD/AS diagram (assuming again no change in the exchange rate). Both of the shocks described above are likely to cause an appreciation of the Canadian dollar on foreign-exchange markets. As the Canadian dollar appreciates, what are the effects on aggregate demand in part (a) and in part (b)? Show these “secondary” effects in your diagram and explain. Given your…
