2. Changes in the money supply The following graph represents the money market in a hypothetical economy. As in the United States, this economy has a central bank called the Fed, but unlike in the United States, the economy is closed (that is, the economy does not interact with other economies in the world). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, as indicated by the grey...
Suppose we had a case in which the interest elasticity of both money demand and investment demand were quite low. Would either monetary or fiscal policy be very effective? How would you interpret such a situation? 4.

2. The following are the money demand and money supply functions in an economy. M=8,000 : M-25000(0.4-i) Answer the following questions: (a.) Calculate the equilibrium interest rate. (5%) (6.) Suppose the central bank falls the equilibrium interest rate to 5%, will there be excess money supply or money demand? What monetary policy should be followed to reach the new equilibrium interest rate ? (5%)
