Suppose that an economy has a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y = 1500, and a constant real interest rate r = 0.05, and it’s expected rate of inflation is 2%, i.e, πe = .02. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is ηY = 0.5 and the interest elasticity of demand ηi = –0.2. (a) Suppose that Y decreases to 1425, r remains constant at 0.05 and there is no change in the expected rate of inflation. What is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (b) Suppose that r increases to 0.06 and Y remains at 1500. Assuming that expected inflation remains at πe = .02, what is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (c) Suppose that r increases to 0.06. Assuming that πe = .02, what would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value?
please explain each question 1. What effect a selling bond will have on the money market? Explain using bond prices. 2. Assume that fiscal policy can be accomplished by changing only one of G and T. In the IS-LM framework, suppose the effect on the general equilibrium output is the same between expansionary fiscal policy and expansionary monetary policy. Which one would you expect to have a greater impact on the equilibrium consumption? Explain in words. Hint: Monetary policy affects also affects Y in the IS-LM framework!
Suppose that this year’s money supply is $500 billion,nominal GDP is $10 trillion, and real GDP is $5 trillion.a. What is the price level? What is the velocity ofmoney?b. Suppose that velocity is constant and theeconomy’s output of goods and services rises by5 percent each year. What will happen to nominalGDP and the price level next year if the Fed keepsthe money supply constant?c. What money supply should the Fed set next yearif it wants to keep the price level stable?d. What money supply should the Fed set next yearif it wants inflation of 10 percent?
Which monetary policy tool can the Federal Reserve use to conduct an expansionary monetarypolicy (please state at least one instrument)? Which monetary policy instrument can the Fed useto conduct a restrictive monetary policy? Assume the country is experiencing highunemployment and a recession, such as during 2001, 2008-2009, and 2020. What is the Fedlikely to do in this scenario? Discuss the effects of such policy on the economy. Can you givea specific example to what the Fed did during any of those recessions? This is not a writing, it is economic.
How has the Federal Reserve used monetary policy and how has the Federal Government used fiscal policy to lessen the impact of the COVID-19 recession? A) The Federal Reserve has expanded the money stock while the Federal Government has decreased its spending. B) The Federal Reserve has contracted the money stock while the Federal Government has decreased its spending. C) The Federal Reserve has contracted the money stock while the Federal Government has increased its spending. D) The Federal Reserve has expanded the money stock while the Federal Government has increased its spending.
Only answer part D.B. If the central bank’s goal is to maximize output, what interest rate will we expect in equilibrium?C. Starting from the equilibrium described in (B), suppose investors experience a decrease in “animal spirits.” What happens to output? Can the central bank offset this with expansionary monetary policy?D. What could fiscal authorities do to offset the shock to animal spirits described in (C)?
Suppose that the money demand function is(M/P)d = 1,000 - 100r, where r is the interest rate in percent. Themoney supply M is 1,000 and the price level Pis 2.a. Graph the supply and demand for real moneybalances.b. What is the equilibrium interest rate?c. Assume that the price level is fixed. Whathappens to the equilibrium interest rate if thesupply of money is raised from 1,000 to 1,200?d. If the Fed wishes to raise the interest rate to7 percent, what money supply should it set?

Suppose the economywide demand for money is given by: M = P(0.3Y − 25,000i). The price level P equals 3, and real output Y equals 8,000. a. At what value should the Fed set the nominal money supply if it wants to set the nominal interest rate at 2 percent? The nominal money supply should be set at $ . b. At what value should the Fed set the nominal money supply if it wants to set the nominal interest rate at 3 percent? The nominal money supply should be set at $ .
instructions: tackle question b only A. Given that in an economy, Given that in an economy, C = 102+0.7Y, I=150-100r, MS =300, Mt = 0.4Y, and Mz=125-200r where, Y= income, C= consumption, I= investment, MS= money supply, Mt= transactional-precautionary money demand, Mz= speculative money demand and r= interest rate. Calculate;1. The equilibrium level of income and interest rate in this economy.2. The level of C, I, Mt, and Mz when the economy is in equilibrium. B. Now, assuming the economy is open with government (G) participation and external trade which is summarized as follows; export(X)= 100-0.10Y, import(M)=50, G=100, Taxes(T)= 100 and C, I, MS, Mt, and Mz the same as defined in (a) above. Calculate; i. The equilibrium income and interest rate in this new economy. ii. The level of C, I, Mt, and Mz when the economy is in equilibrium iii. What exchange rate policy should government implement in (iii) to enhance income and why?
3. Suppose that this year’s money supply is $500 billion, nominal GDP is $10 trillion, and real GDP is $5 trillion.a. What is the price level? What is the velocity of money?b. Suppose that velocity is constant and the economy’s output of goods and services rises by 5 percent each year. What will happen to nominal GDP and the price level next year if the Fed keeps the money supply constant.c. What money supply should the Fed set next year if it wants to keep the price level stable?
Consider an economy where the monetary base is equal to $3,500 million. People hold onequarter (1/4th ) of their money in the form of currency and the remainder as bank deposits. Banks have a reserve-deposit ratio of 0.25 . a. What is the nation's money supply equal to? b. One day, COVID emerges as a public health emergency and people are forced to stay at home. As a result, people now hold only 1/8th of their money in the form of currency (and the remainder as bank deposits.) If banks maintain their reserve-deposit ratio of 0.25 and central bank does nothing, what is the new money supply? c. If, in the face of this crisis, the central bank wants to conduct an open market operation to keep the money supply at its original level, does it buy or sell government bonds? Calculate, in dollars, how much the central bank needs to buy/sell.
