part C D E 1(a) Explain (and provide a diagram that illustrates) how you would expect the recent statement by theU.K. Chancellor that the U.K. is currently in recession will impact the demand and supply for loanablefunds. What is the reasoning underpinning the Fisher effect's implied positive relationship betweenexpected inflation and nominal interest rate?(b) Given the current U.K. economic environment, with galloping inflation, suppose investors desire an8 per cent real rate of interest and expect inflation to be 12 per cent over the investment period.Determine the desired real rate of interest.(c) Suppose that investors desire a 10 per cent real rate and expect inflation to gallop to 14 per cent.What is the nominal rate of interest?(d) Assume that as a result of a rapid fall in gas and oil prices, realised inflation is now 8 per centrather than 14 per cent. Calculate the real rate of interest.(e) Suppose inflation is persistent and, as such, turns out to be higher than expected, at 26 per cent ratherthan 8 per cent. Determine the realized rate and comment on your calculations in parts (d) and (e).

Nominal rate includes the effect of inflation. Real rate excludes the effect of inflation.…

12. Use the classical model of a closed economy to predict how each of the following shocks should affect a nation's real aggregate income (Y), national saving (S), investment (1I), and interest rate (r). Be sure in each case to clearly state your predicted direction of change (up, down, or no change) for all four variables and illustrate your predictions for S, I and r with a supply/demand diagram for the loanable funds market. a. The size of the labor force shrinks (L decreases) b. Technological innovation increases total factor productivity (A increases) c. The government cuts taxes (T decreases) d. Autonomous investment (io) decreases.

a. Suppose that the central bank wants to set policy rate (or real rate) at 4%. If expected inflation is 3%, this means that they must set the nominal interest rate to b. Now suppose that the zero lower bound has been reached and expected inflation is 3%. In this situation, the central bank cannot lower the real rate below: a) 7%; -3% b) 7%; 3% c) 4%; d) 1%; 1% 4%

1) Inflation in Theoretica is currently below the target range of its central bank. What does this tell you regarding Theoretica’s likely output gap? Illustrate it using an AS-AD diagram, and briefly explain your diagram 2) Your mother states that lowering interest rates in the recessionary COVID-19 period is good policy because it will guarantee consumers will spend more as it is cheaper to borrow money. Do you agree or disagree with her statement? Provide two reasonings to justify your answer. 3) Is either helicopter money or quantitative easing preferred in times of severe recessions in order to boost economic activity? Explain your reasoning.
3. Suppose that the economy is well described by the New-Keynesian with partial sticky prices. Assume that the ZLB on nominal interest rate is binding. In your answer below, keep in mind the consumers' and firms' optimal decisions that give rise to the model and explain how and why agents' decisions change. a) Bank runs generate a large increase in spreads ft in the economy. What are the effects on aggregate outcomes (Y, P, r)? How does it compare to the case where the ZLB is not binding? Use diagram to support your answer b) The Central bank, as lender of last resort, decides to inject large amounts of money into financial institutions. Analyse the transmission mechanism of this policy action as well as its effects on output and price level.
a. Examine the fundamental causes of a nation’s business cycle fluctuations. Also, examine the relationship between total spending by government and consumers in a nation and the location of the countries’ GDP on the business cycle. b. 1.

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?
