Suppose the parameters of the IS curve are
a_bar = 0, b_bar = 1/2, r_bar = 2%, and
R = 3%.
Calculate the initial short-run output.
Calculate the short-run output when real interest rate rises to 5%.
Calculate the short-run output when real interest rate goes to 0.
What’s the value of real interest rate when the economy is outputting at its long-run level.
Suppose the parameters of the IS curve are
a_bar = 0, b_bar = 1/2, r_bar = 2%, and
R = 3%.
What’s the value of real interest rate when the economy is outputting at its long-run level.
Assume that an economy is in long-run equilibrium. Assume consumers wish to hold less money because they use credit cards more frequently to purchase goods and services then cash.
(a) Draw a correctly labeled graph of the money market and show the effect of the reduced holdings of money on the equilibrium nominal interest rate in the short-run.
(b) Based on the change in the interest rate in part (a), what will happen to each of the following in the short-run?
i. Prices of previously issued bonds
ii. The price level and real income. Explain.
(c) With a constant money supply, based on your answer in b(ii), will the velocity of money increase, decrease, or remain the same, or is the change indeterminate?
(d) If the Central Bank wishes to reverse the change in the interest rate identified in part (a), what open market operation would it use?

- 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?arrow_forwardThe text assumes that the natural rate of interest p is a constant parameter. Suppose instead that it varies over time, so now it has to be written as pt. How would this change affect the dynamic aggregate demand and dynamic aggregate supply? How would a shock to pt affect output, inflation, the nominal interest rate, and the real interest rate?arrow_forwardEconomics Suppose that the effects of COVID-19 on the economy can be thought of as a permanent negative productivity shock, i.e., a permanent decrease of the production owing to lower total factor productivity. What does the model predict will happen to the following variables: (1) real interest rate, (2) real output), (3) real consumption, (4) real investment, (5) labor input? For each variable explain why COVID-19 would have the predicted effect.arrow_forward

And what methods can central bank use to adjust the interest rate?
