Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The Keynesian transmission mechanism states that an increase in money supply affects the aggregate demand through the changes in the rate of interest or exchange rates. This would mean that there is an indirect link between the money market and goods market through the rate of interest. In the given example, Researcher A follows the Keynesian transmission mechanism because he appears to get an indirect link between fatty foods and heart attack. That is, the fatty food affects X, Y, and Z of their body before a cardiac arrest occurs. On the other hand, the method followed by Researcher B seems to like the monetarist transmission mechanism. The monetarist transmission mechanism shows a direct link between the goods market and money market. Here, Researcher B looks only for the intake of fatty foods and cardiac arrest and little else rather than the step-by-step procedure as done by Researcher A.
