13. The Transmission Mechanism This problem looks at typical transmission mechanisms as a result of central bank policy. Suppose the central bank of as country expects the rate of inflation to soon be under target. Use the following table to indicate the action the central bank will take, and how this action will affect the economy. Central Bank's Action Increase Decrease Target Overnight Rate Effect on the Economy Increase Decrease Other Interest Rates Aggregate Demand Real GDP Employment Inflation Which of the following explain the change in demand you indicated above? Check all that apply. O The currency falls relative to other currencies. Consumption expenditures on durable goods rise. Net exports fall. O Investment decreases. The is a major indicator that helps central banks assess the future rate of inflation.

The central bank sets the reserve-todeposit ratio at 10%. In the first period, the central bank increases the supply of moneyby $200, buying bonds through Open-Market Operations. Use this information to answerthe following questions:(a) For the second period (after the central bank has injected $200 in theeconomy), calculate: (i) the demand for currency, (ii) the amount of deposit held atthe commercial banks, (iii) the demand for reserves held at the central bank, and(iv) the demand for the high-powered money. How much is the additional moneysupply created at the end of the second period?2(b) How much is the additional money supply created at the end of the thirdperiod?(c) As time continues, additional money supply will be created.
