How the Fed affects investment:Te Federal Reserve exercises monetary policyby means of a very short-term, overnight nominal interest rate. Explain howchanges in this overnight nominal rate infuence longer-term real interest rates,and thus investment.
Assume that the unemployment rate decreases substantially and that there is very high inflation. Which of the following is a tool of the Fed that is the least likely, to be used to influence the economy? an increase in the discount rate O a decrease in transfers a decrease in Government spending an increase in tax rates an increase in the RRR

True or False... 1. In the dynamic AS-AD model, a perfectly inelastic aggregate supply curve means the centralbank cannot control the rate of output growth or the inflation rate.2. There are an infinite number of combinations of real interest rates and inflation rates consistentwith a nominal interest rate of zero.
Some economics, notably Keynesians, believe that _______________.Group of answer choices A. since both V and Q are constants for an economy in short-run equilibrium, the equation of exchange becomes the quantity theory of money which explains prices B. even though velocity isnt constant, it is predictable C. If a change in M occurs, it may not only affect P, but also and at the same time affect Q
28) When the Fed raises the federal funds rate A) the value of the dollar rises on the foreign exchange market. B) consumption increases. C) net exports increase. D) the value of the dollar falls on the foreign exchange market. 29) An inflation rate targeting rule A) reduces uncertainty about monetary policy. B) means that the inflation rate must exceed 5 percent in order for the rule to be effective. C) has been adopted the by the Fed in response to the financial crisis of 2008-2009. D) will not work if the Fed continues to sue open market operations.
E4 Assume the real money demand of an economy is:(Md/P) = 2×Yb(r + πe)-awhere 0 < b < 1 and 0 < a < 1.a) Use the real money demand above to determine the velocity of money.b) Does the quantity theory of money hold in this economy? Explain.c) Show with calculus how the velocity of money reacts to a change in output and a changein the nominal interest rate.d) Find the income and the nominal interest rate elasticities of money demand.
Which of the following would cause the Fed to raise interest rates even though the rate of inflation is equal to the target rate? An increase in household wealth O An increase in potential GDP O An increase in imports O A reduction in government purchases O A reduction in business confidence
Suppose that an economy has a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y = 1500, and a constant real interest rate r = 0.05, and it’s expected rate of inflation is 2%, i.e, πe = .02. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is ηY = 0.5 and the interest elasticity of demand ηi = –0.2. (a) Suppose that Y decreases to 1425, r remains constant at 0.05 and there is no change in the expected rate of inflation. What is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (b) Suppose that r increases to 0.06 and Y remains at 1500. Assuming that expected inflation remains at πe = .02, what is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (c) Suppose that r increases to 0.06. Assuming that πe = .02, what would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value?
