In a particular economy the real money demand function is Real Interest Rate, r (%) 0.451 M 0.40- 3,000 + 0.10Y-9,000i. P 0.35- Assume that M = 7,000 and P = 2. Initially, expected inflation, zewas 0.02. Initially, when Y= 8000, the real interest rate of 0.013 cleared the asset market and when Y = 9000, the real interest rate of 0.024 cleared the asset market. The initial LM curve is drawn as 0.30- 0.25 0.20- LM,. 0.15- Now suppose that the expected inflation rate increases to 0.03. Using the new expected inflation rate, calculate the real interest rate that clears the asset market when Y = 8000. (Enter your answer in decimals, rounded to three decimals.) D. This is point C. 0.10- LM, 0.05- 0.00+ 7 8 10 Output, Y (thousands)
Assume that the price level in an economy is stable with expected inflation initially equal to 3% in period 0. Further assume the economy is then hit by an expansion at the beginning of period 1, and employment remains at a constant high level until the beginning of period 4. With ‘time period’ on the xaxis and ‘inflation rate’ on the y-axis: (i) Plot the path of the bargaining gap (assume it is equal to 1%), inflation and expected inflation from period 1 to the end of period 4. (ii) Provide some reasons for why the bargaining gap might disappear after period 4, and state any other assumptions you are making. (iii) Explain how an increase in the central bank’s policy interest rate would affect the exchange rate through the market for financial assets (such as government bonds). What impact would this have on aggregate demand?

1. Imagine an economy, where the SRAS in terms of inflation is given by II=5+Y, where Y is output. Imagine that the long run AS curve is given by Y=2. (25 marks) a) Give the equation of the AD curve (you can take liberties), if we assume that initially, the economy is at its long-run equilibrium. Justify. b) Imagine that your chosen AD curve's intercept goes up by one unit due to an expansionary monetary policy. What will be the new final equilibrium after this change? Justify. c) What will be the equilibrium after two periods of adjustment? Justify. d) Assume that before all the changes in the economy, in the initial, long-run equilibrium, the interest rate was 4 percent. Give an IS and an LM curve that are compatible with this initial equilibrium. Justify. e) What are the IS and LM curves going to be at the very end of the adjustment process, i.e., in the new long run equilibrium? Justify.
The text proposes the following model of expected inflation x = (1 - 0) x + 0,-1 What do we know about your process of the formation of expected inflation when 0 = 07 OA. Neither last year's inflation rate nor the long-run average inflation rate impact your view on this year's expected rate. OB. Last year's inflation rate will influence you to revise your estimates for this year's expected rate. OC. Regardless of what inflation was last year, you would expect it to be at the long-run average inflation rate this year. OD. Last year's inflation rate and the long-run average inflation rate have an equal impact on your view of this year's expected rate. What do we know about your process of the formation of expected inflation when 0-17 OA. Neither last year's inflation rate nor the long-run average inflation rate impact your view on this year's expected rate OB. Last year's inflation rate will be the only input for you to revise your estimates for this year's expected rate regardless of…

1. For this question assume that inflation is zero. Consider a 2-period economy. Assume that consumer's lifetime utility is given by: U = log c, + 0.9 log c2 Assume that the consumer starts period 1 with the initial wealth of 50,000. The consumer gets labour income y, - T; in period t (t=1,2), where: y1 = 25,000, y2 = 120,000, T, = 5,000, T, = 12,200 and R=0.05 Initially assume that there are no borrowing constraints. a. Write down the Euler equation (with all values substituted) and explain its meaning. Write the intertemporal budget constraint and explain its meaning. b. Solve the consumer's problem of maximizing lifetime utility subject to the intertemporal budget constraint. Is the present value of consumption in the first and the second periods the same? Explain why. c. If for some reason the consumer were to face the borrowing constraint, would it be binding? Explain.. d. Assume that in the economy described in this part, the government decides to build some new roads in period…
In a decelerating inflation environment (e.g. with inflation rate at 20%, 18%, 14%, .. year after year), using "adaptive inflation expectations" formation, the forecasted future inflation rate is likely to be O systematically biased upward. O systematically biased downward. O always correct. O about correct on average.
