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.

Paranoia, the largest country in central Antarctica, receives word of an imminent penguin attack. The news causes expectations about the future to be shaken. As a consequence, there is a sharp decline in investment spending plans. a. Explain in detail the effects of such an event on the economy of Paranoia assuming no response on the part of the central bank or the Treasury. (MP, T, and G all remain constant.) Make sure you discuss the adjustments in the goods market and the money market. b. To counter the fall in investment, the king of Paranoia calls for a proposal to increase government spending. To finance the program, the chancellor of the exchequer has proposed three alternative options: (1) Finance the expenditures with an equal increase in taxes (2) Keep tax revenues constant and borrow the money from the public by issuing new government bonds (3) Keep taxes constant and finance the expenditures by printing new money Consider the three financing options and rank them from…arrow_forward....... implies that an increase in .... will increase ...... a) neutrality of money / inflation / real interest rates b) inflation / prices / both saving and investment c) neutrality of money / the money supply / nominal interest rates d) inflation / prices / real GDP e) neutrality of money / the money supply / real interest ratesarrow_forward
