Consider the same economy as in the previous question with the supply of money fixed at $2000. Now suppose there is a shift in the money demand equation such that households in aggregate desire to hold an additional $150 in cash balances for any given level of interest rates. (a) Calculate the effect this has on the equilibrium interest rate (to two decimal places). (b) What would the central bank have to do to offset this effect?

Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. The economist proposes the following relationship: P=A×MP=A×M • P=Price LevelP=Price Level • M=Money SupplyM=Money Supply • A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time.A=A composite of other factors, including real GDP, that change very slowly over time. How might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level?
The commodity market for a simple two-sector economy is in equilibrium when Y = C + I. The money market is in equilibrium when the supply of money (Ms) equals the demand for money (Md), which in turn is composed of the transaction-precautionary demand for money (Mt) and the speculative demand for money (Mz). Assume a two-sector economy where C = 5 + 0.8Y, I = 100 - 75i, Ms = 250, Mt= 0.3Y, and Mz = 50 - 150i. , find the IS and LM and equliprium in commodity and money markets.

Assuming that at equilibrium real money supply (M$/P) is equal to real money demand (Md /P), which is assumed to be a function of real income (Y), nominal interest rate (R), and technology (A) as follows: MS Y =A- R P (a) Specify the assumptions needed to uphold the prediction of quantity theory of money claiming that the ratio of money to GDP is constant in the long run.e (b) Assuming that the growth rate of Y is 4%, the growth rate of R is 0, and the growth rate of A is -1%, draw a diagram to indicate the relation between growth rate of MS (on the X-axis) and inflation rate (on the Y-axis).
Suppose that the money demand function is (M/ P)^d = 1000-100r where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 1000 and the price level P is 2. (a) What is the equilibrium interest rate?(b) Assume the price level is xed. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate if the supply of money is raised from 1000 to 1200?
Assume that at a Monetary Policy Committee meeting the South African Reserve Bank decides to increase the repo rate. what is the impact of a higher repo rate be on real production (Y) and prices
In class we assumed that money demand depends upon income, Md = L(Y, i). However, if people hold money as a medium of exchange it may be that money demand really should depend upon consumption, Md = L(C, i). In other words, if people consume more, they will also want to hold more money. Suppose that consumption, as usual, depends upon disposable income, C = C(Y – T). Money demand will then also, indirectly, depend upon disposable income, Md = L[C(y - T), i]. True or False: In this case, a tax cut will always increase in the short run
answer c and d Suppose that the following system of equations describe the macroeconomy of a hypothetical country: Y= C(y)+I(i)+G : IS or goods market M/p=L(i,y) : LM or money market b) Taking money supply and government expenditure as exogenous and the price level as fixed, determine and provide economic intuition for the signs and magnitudes of the following multipliers dY/dG and di/dG c) For a simultaneous increase in both the interest elasticity of investment and interest elasticity demand for money parameters, determine the net effect on the values of the multipliers in part b). d) For a horizontal LM curve, determine the numerical values of your answers in part b) above if: Marginal propensity to consume=5/6 Tax rate=0.25 Interest elasticity of investment=5 Interest elasticity of demand for money=50 Income elasticity of demand for money=2 answer c and d only
If money supply rises, will the price level rise by the same percentage? It all depends on what happens to V and Y. The effects will tend to differ in the short run from the long run. Delete the wrong words in the following statements: (a) In the short run, V can change substantially / is unlikely to change much at all when money supply changes. (b) In the short run, a rise in MV (i.e. a rise in aggregate demand) will lead to a rise in the price level / may or may not lead to a rise in the price level depending on the degree of slack in the economy.
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that the minimum wage increases to $15 in the United States, which affects the entire labor market and increases the cost of production. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose the Federal Reserve wants to keep prices in the economy as low as possible. Should the Fed intervene? If so, show the impact of successful monetary policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
The commodity market for a simple economy is in equilibrium and when Y = C + I + G. The money market is in equilibrium when the supply of money (M) equals Demand for money (Md). Demand for money composes of transaction-precautionary demand for money (Mt) and the speculative demand for money (Ms). Assume the economy is characterised by the following information; C = 4800 + 0.8Yd T= 100, I = 1900 – 75i, G = 4000, M = 5000, Mt = 0.3Yd Ms = 100 – 15i a) Derive an expression to show the IS function b) Derive the LM function c) What values of Income and Interest rate provides for both the goods market and money market equilibrium in this economy d) Sketch the IS and LM curves for this economy. e) Outline four factors that cause a shift in the IS curve.
An IS curve shows: (a) that realized savings are most likely a function of interest rates, because changes in interest rates result in changes in precautionary demand for money; (b) the combinations of investments and incomes that result in the supply and demand for money being equal to one another; (c) the locus of all combinations of interest rates and incomes that will result in realized investment and realized savings being equal to one another; (d) that increases in output typically are caused by increases in interest rates.
Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level decreases from 90 to 75. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of a decrease in the overall price level on the market for money. Following the price level decrease, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 6% will be (greater/less) than the quantity of money supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. As a result, individuals will attempt to (increase/decrease) their money holdings. In order to do so, they will (buy/sell) bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they (have to offer higher/can offer lower) interest rates until equilibrium is restored in the money market at an interest rate of________% The following graph plots the…
