:Concept Preface 

Introduction Monetary course is applied by the halfway bank to check the liquidity of moneybags from scrimping to bring the frugality to sound shape. This is served through the care of the claim rate and the moneybags stock.

02

Calculation

Given,

C¯=$4trillion

I¯=$1.5trillion

G¯=$3trillion

T¯=$3trillion

NX¯=$1.0trillion

f=0mpc=0.8d=0.35x=0.15λ=0.5r=2

Equation of MP curve can be written as follows:

r=r¯+λπ

Here,

r¯is the autonomous real interest rate.

λis the responsiveness of real interest rate to the inflation rate.

According to the given case, the equation of the MP curve is:

r=2+0.5π

Equation of AD curve can be written as follows:

Y=|C¯+I¯-df¯+G¯+NX¯-mpc×T¯|×11-mpc-d+x1-mpc×(r¯+λπ)

According to the given case, the equation of AD curve is:

Y=$4trillion+$1.5trillion-0+$3.0trillion+$1trillion-0.8×$3trillion×11-0.8-0.35+0.151-0.8×(2+0.5π)

Explanation of Solution

Given,

C=$4trillionI=$1.5trillionG=$3trillionT=$3trillionNX=$1.0trillionf=0mpc=0.8d=0.35x=0.15λ=0.5r=2

According to the given case, the equation of MP curve is:

r=2+0.5π..(I)

Real interest rate with π=2:

Substitute π=2in equation (I),

r=2+0.5π=2+0.5(2)r=3

Real interest rate with π=4:

Substituteπ=4in equation (I),

r=2+0.5π=2+0.5(4)r=4

04

Calculation 

Thus, real interest rate withπ=2is 3%and π=4is 4%.

According to the given case, the equation of AD curve is:

localid="1647546119339" Y=$4trillion+$1.5trillion-0+$3.0trillion+$1trillion-0.8×$3trillion×11-0.8-0.35+0.151-0.8×(2+0.5π).(II)

Aggregate outputwithπ=2:

Substitute π=2in equation (II),

localid="1647546628791" Y=$4trillion+$1.5trillion-0+$3.0trillion+$1trillion-0.8×$3trillion×11-0.8-0.35+0.151-0.8×(2+0.5π(2).(II)

localid="1647546553745" =|$11.5trillion|×10.2-0.50.2×(3)=$11.5trillion×$7.5trillion=$86.25trillion

Aggregate output withπ=4:

Substitute π=4in equation (II),

localid="1647546643930" Y=$4trillion+$1.5trillion-0+$3.0trillion+$1trillion-0.8×$3trillion×11-0.8-0.35+0.151-0.8×(2+0.5π(4).(II)

=|$11.5trillion|×10.2-0.50.2×(4)=$11.5trillion×$10trillion=$115trillion

Thus, aggregate output with π=2is $86.25trillion and π=4is $115trillion.

Go to https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/ files/FOMC_LongerRunGoals.pdf. Review the FOMC’s document, “Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy.” Explain why these goals are consistent with the Taylor principle.

For each of the following situations, describe how (if at all) the IS, MP, and AD curves are affected.

a. A decrease in financial frictions

b. An increase in taxes and an autonomous easing of monetary policy

c. An increase in the current inflation rate

d. A decrease in autonomous consumption

e. Firms become more optimistic about the future of the economy.

f. The new Federal Reserve chair begins to care more about fighting inflation.

A measure of real interest rates can be approximated by the Treasury Inflation-Indexed Security, or TIIS. Go to the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED database, and find data on the five-year TIIS (FII5) and the personal consumption expenditure price index

(PCECTPI), a measure of the price index. Choose “Quarterly” for the frequency setting for the TIIS, and choose “Percent Change From Year Ago” for the unitssetting on (PCECTPI). Plot both series on the samegraph, using data from 2007through the most currentdata available. Use the graph to identify periods of autonomous monetary policy changes. Briefly explain your reasoning.

What would be the effect of an increase in U.S. net exports on the aggregate demand curve? Would an increase in net exports affect the monetary policy curve? Explain.

"Autonomous monetary policy is more effective at changing output when λ is higher." Is this statement true, false, or uncertain? Explain your answer.
