Q11 Assume that investment does NOT depend on the interest rate. A reduction in the money supply will cause which of the following for this economy? Select one: a. no change in output. b. no change in the interest rate. c. a reduction in investment. d. an increase in investment.
Suppose that the government decides to increase government expenditure. a) Is this a fiscal or a monetary policy? b) Is this an expansionary or a contractionary policy? c) How will the equilibrium output and interest rate change in goods and money markets, respectively. Explain using the diagrams.
Starting from general equilibrium, what would be the long-run effects of a simultaneous reduction in government purchases (G↓) and increase in the money supply (M↑) designed to leave real GDP the same on each of the following economic variables? For each, you should write one of the following responses: Up (U), Down (D), orSame (S) The real interest rate (r) Investment (I) Consumption (C) The price level (P) Budget deficit (G – T)
The IS curve shows the combinations of output and the real interest rate for which the goods market is in equilibrium and it is downward sloping. An increase in the money supply would cause the IS curve to A- shift up to the right only if people face borrowing constraints B- Shift up and to the right C- Shit down and to the left D- remain unchanged
What is the impact of a decrease in the money supply on the interest rate, income, consumption, and investment? (need a Macroeconomics way of answer)
In an economy, the money supply growth rate is 5.0%, the equilibrium real interest rate is 1.5%, the potential growth rate is 4.0%, the economic growth rate is 1.0%, the inflation rate is 3.0%, the unemployment rate is 4.5%, and the rate of increase in the circulation speed is -2%. In this case, in an economy that pursues an inflation target of 2.0%, what is the appropriate interest rate target based on Taylor's rule? (Omit the unit and answer with the first decimal place.)
Q15 Which of the following statements is consistent with a given (i.e., fixed) LM curve? Select one: a. A reduction in the interest rate causes money demand to decrease. b. A reduction in the interest rate causes investment spending to increase. c. An increase in output causes an increase in demand for goods d. An increase in output causes an increase in money demand.
Consider an economy described by the following equations. Y=C+I+G C=100+.75(Y−T) I=500−50r G=125 T=100 Where: Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, T is taxes and r is the rate of interest. Question: In this case, explain the policy that was used by the policymaker to target the aggregate demand.
Explain how increases in the real interest rate affect the quantity of real money balanced demanded. (Graphically illustrate)
Consider an economy described by the following equations. Y= C + I + GC= 100 + .75 (Y - T)I= 500 - 50rG= 125T= 100 Where: Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, T is taxes and r is the rate of interest. Answer the questions based on the following equations above. a. What is the value of the multiplier? b. What is the equilibrium equation for Y? Show your solution. c. Suppose the Central Bank policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r=4. What is the value of output? Show your solution. d. Assuming that no change in fiscal policy, what is the effect of a reduction in interest rate from 4 percent to 3 percent on equilibrium output. Show your solution. e. In this case, explain the policy that was used by the policymaker to target the aggregate demand.
Consider an economy described by the following equations:Y = C + I + G (1)C = 100 + 0.75(Y − T) (2)I = 500 – 50 r (3)G = 125T = 100where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at its natural rate), GDP would be 2,000.1. Suppose the central bank’s policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r = 4. Solve for GDP. Is it greater or lower than full-employment level? How much 2. Assuming no change in monetary policy (as was in part i), what change in government purchases would restore full employment?1. Assuming no change in fiscal policy, what change in the interest rate would restore full employment?
Assume that a government cuts its expenditure and therefore runs a public-sector surplus. (a) What will this mean for the equilibrium national income?(b) What will this mean for the demand for money and to interest rates?(c) Under what circumstances will it lead to a (i) decrease in money supply, and (ii) no change in money supply?(d) What effect will each of the two scenarios in (c) will have on the rate of interest rate compared with its original level?
