Which government institution can create the most money? What tools does the Fed have to regulate money creation in the economy? What is the long-run impact of a larger money supply on inflation? What can be the impact of that money creation on the exchange rate? Support your answer using the Quantitative Theory of Money formula MV = P Q; to analyze the effect of money creation on the exchange rate use the Purchasing Power Parity Model, Exchange Rate of Currency X to Y = Cost of good in currency X/Cost of good in currency Y

If a countrys currency is expected to appreciate in value, what would you think will be the impact of expected exchange rates on yields (e.g., the Interest rate paid on government bonds) in that country? Hint: Think about how expected exchange rate changes and interest rates affect a currencys demand and supply.
Part 4 5 6 Answer all questions from this section. For each question, identify the statement as True,False, or Uncertain, and explain your reasoning A.1 Following the announcement that the amount of QE intervention by the central bankwill be reduced going forward (also known as Quantitative Tightening), according to theUIP condition, an immediate appreciation of home’s nominal exchange rate would beobserved. A.2 The difference between the slopes of the IS and RX curves depends only on the sensitivityof net exports to the real exchange rate. A.3 Consider a temporary positive inflation shock in a flexible exchange rate regime (with aninflation targeting central bank) and in a fixed exchange rate regime (where there is nopolicy intervention). Assume that both economies converge to a medium run equilibrium.Following the shock, inflation converges to its equilibrium value from above in both cases.A.4 The central bank of a common currency area should not respond to a shock specific toone…
From 2009 to 2011, the economies of Australia andSwitzerland suffered relatively mild effects from theglobal financial crisis. At the same time, many countriesin the euro area were hit hard by high unemploymentand burdened with unsustainably high governmentdebts.

What could be the dangers of increasing those interest rates toomuch?1.b.What will happen to the trade balance and the real exchange rate of a smallopen economy when govemment purchases increase, such as during a war?Does your answer depend on whether this is a local war or a global war? Onthose grounds, In the current situation of the Russian invasion, what shouldhappen between the dollar and the Euro?
Question 10 d Anwser only question d please thank you Assume that there is a free-floating exchange rate. Will the following cause sterling toappreciate or depreciate relative to other currencies? In each case, you should considerwhether there is a shift in the demand or supply curves of sterling (or both) and whichway the curve(s) shift(s). You may assume that the impacts are ceteris paribus, that is,everything else remains the same. Illustrate your answers and give a short explanation interms of currency supply and demand.(a) UK imports increase. (b) UK interest rates rise relative to those abroad. (c) The UK experiences lower inflation than other countries, but with no change in interestrates. (d) Forex speculators believe that the Pound sterling will depreciate.
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.
Why is it that in a pure, flexible exchange rate system,the foreign exchange market has no direct effect onthe money supply? Does this mean that the foreignexchange market has no effect on monetary policy?
Suppose you obtain the following quotes: Foreign exchange market: Spot rate: SUS$/€ = 1.0623 180-day Forward rate: F180US$/€ = 1.0765 Money market (180-day): RUS$ = 5.75% p.a. R€ = 4.25% p.a. Note: Keep your answers to 4 decimal points if necessary. a) Based on the above information, is there any arbitrage opportunity? If yes, what should the commercial bank do to capture this arbitrage opportunity? If not, why? Explain. b) Suppose the commercial bank has the ability to “move” the market (i.e., affecting the spot exchange rate, the forward exchange rate, and the returns on bonds in both countries), what happens to these variables after the transactions carried in part (a)? Explain. c) Instead of affecting the interest rates and the 180-day forward rate, suppose the spot exchange rate bears all the burden of adjustments, find the US$/€ spot rate that would eliminate interest arbitrage
(1) In the IS-LM model, how does an increase in money supply affect theIS curve?(2) According to the Impossible Trinity, if an economy wants to allow for free capitalflows as well as to have full control over its currency, which exchange rate systemshould be adopted?(3) In an IS-LM model, if the investors are suddenly less willing to invest, then what effects does this change make to the equilibrium? Explain your intuitions.(4) According to your answers in (3), if the government wants to stabilize the interestrate using monetary policies, how should it behave? If the government, instead, wantsto stabilize the output level using monetary policies, what is your policy suggestion forit?
