c.
To describe: The new output levels, real interest rate, consumption and investment.
c.
Answer to Problem 3NP
The new output level is
Explanation of Solution
The equilibrium of short run is achieved at a point where the curves IS and LM intersect each other.
Now, we shall equate both the equations,
On solving these two equations, we get,
We get,
Then, we get
d.
To describe: The new output levels, real interest rate, consumption, investment and price level for long run.
d.
Answer to Problem 3NP
The new output level is
Explanation of Solution
The real interest rate can be calculated as follows:
We get,
As the price is variable in the long run, the new LM curve can be derived as follows:
The results will be as follows:
Substitute value of
We get,
Substitute, given values:
We get,

- Consider the AD/AS model with a constant inflation rate. It is possible that the money supply is rising while interest rates are unchanged because... a. Declining interest rates cause the investment demand curve to shift to the left, which causes interest rates to rise back to their original level. b. The rising price level increases money demand, offsetting the impact of the rising money supply. c. The rising price level decreases money demand which pushes up interest rates. d. Declining interest rates cause the investment demand curve to shift to the right, which causes interest rates to rise back to their original leve. e. The money transmission mechanism does not apply in a situation of sustained inflation.arrow_forwardIf the economy is in a long-run equilibrium when the Federal Reserve decides that its inflation target is too low and chooses to raise it, ________. A) it would likely conduct a tightening of monetary policy by raising the real interest rate for any given inflation rate B) it would likely conduct an easing of monetary policy by lowering the real interest rate for any given inflation rate C) it would likely conduct an easing of monetary policy where the real interest rate would increase due to the ensuing decrease in aggregate demand D) it would likely conduct a tightening of monetary policy where the real interest rate would increase due to the ensuing increase in aggregate demand E) none of the abovearrow_forwardDiscuss the impact of monetary and fiscal policy in each of these special cases:4. 1.1.

- Chapter 14, Problem 5, p. 530. (not answered) In the New Keynesian model, how should the central bank change its target interest rate in response to each of the following shocks? Use diagrams and explain your results. (a) There is a shift in money demand. (b) Total factor productivity is expected to decrease in the future. (c) Total factor productivity decreases in the present Chapter 14, Problem 6, p. 530. (not answered) In the New Keynesian model, suppose that in the short run the central bank cannot observe aggregate output or the shocks that hit the economy. However, the central bank would like to come as close as possible to economic efficiency. That is, ideally the central bank would like the output gap to be zero. Suppose initially that the economy is in equilibrium with a zero-output gap. (a) Suppose that there is a shift in money demand. That is, the quantity of money demanded increases for each interest rate and level of real income. How well does the central bank perform…arrow_forwardEconomist will focus on achieving macroeconomic goals. There are four major economic goals namely as full employment, price stability, economic growth and equitable distribution of income. However, it is impossible for a government to achieve all four macroeconomic goals simultaneously. Briefly discuss how a government will not be able to implement two particular goals at the same time. According to Keynes, people have demand for money due to three different motives foe holding money rather than other forms. Hence, identify the THREE (3) motives according to Keynesian approach.arrow_forwardCompare Keynes Liquidity Preference Theory with the classical quantity theory of money.
