Document Summary

A constant growth rate in the money supply results in a persistent growth rate in prices (persistent inflation) at the same constant rate, when other factors are constant. Inflation does not affect the productive capacity of the economy and real income from production in the long run. Inflation, however, does affect nominal interest rates. How: the fisher effect (named affect irving fisher) describes the relationship between nominal interest rates and inflation. Derive the fisher effect from the interest parity condition: If financial markets expect (relative) ppp to hold, then expected exchange rate changes will equal expected inflation between countries: (ee$/ e$/ )/e$/ = e. The fisher effect: a rise in the domestic inflation rate causes an equal. Eu rise in the interest rate on deposits of domestic currency in the long run, when other factors remain constant. Us/l (r$, yus: in order to maintain ppp, the exchange rate must jump (the dollar must depreciate) so that.

Related Questions

Using the graph and definitions below of the supply of loanable funds, SLF, and the demand for loanable funds, DLF, discuss the following:

a. What is meant by the equilibrium nominal rate of interest?

b. Illustrate and discuss how an autonomous increase in the expected rate of inflation will change the equilibrium nominal interest rate. Express your discussion in terms of the effect on the supply and demand for loanable funds. Consider an initial real rate of interest of 3 percent and an expected inflation rate of 3 percent. If the expected rate of inflation rises to 4 percent with the real interest rate constant, what would the resulting nominal interest rate become in equilibrium using the Fisher relationship? Assume that investors believe the rise in the expected rate of inflation will remain at the higher level indefinitely.

c. Starting from an equilibrium position as in a, discuss the effects of a tightening monetary policy if the markets believe that a Fed tightening will lower future (next period) inflation. How might a recession occur under this scenario? HINTS: Recall the Fisher relationship where (1+i) = (1+r)(1+pe), where i is the nominal interest rate, r is the required real rate of return before taxes, and pe is the expected rate of inflation.

Question 3

Why is the SRAS curve steeper above its intersection with the Solow growth curve?

		Wages are stickier in the upward direction.
		Wages are less sticky in the upward direction.
		Lower inflation will lead to faster growth.
		Employees become less motivated to work during times of unexpected inflation.

Question 4

What factors triggered the Great Depression?

		decreased consumer spending and tight monetary policy
		decreased investment and increased inflation
		decreased employment and increased money supply
		decreased inflation and increased income taxes

Question 5

How might changes in the money supply be non-neutral in the short run?

		As the amount of money circulating in the economy changes before prices respond, consumers' purchases change accordingly, which leads producers to change production levels.
		When money supply changes in the short run, it will affect nominal, but not real, variables in the short run.
		As money growth increases at a faster rate, it will cause real GDP to grow at an equally faster rate.
		If producers expect inflation to increase, they will increase supply in order to sell before the arrival of inflation.

remain relatively constant.

Question 8

		the consumer price index
		the GDP deflator
		the producer price index
		Each price index accomplishes the same task.
