2. A simple banking model. A bank raises funds by accepting deposits D in order to make loans L. The central bank requires that the bank hold a minimum quantity of reserves R in proportion to its deposits: where ρ is the required reserve ratio. You should assume that the bank does not hold excess reserves and has no capital. The hank is competitive ad takes the leding rate r, and the competitive and takes the lending rate rL and...
Consider the following IS-LM model with a banking system: Consumption: C = 10 + 0.5YD Investment: I = 0.4Y − 100i Government expenditure: G = 5 Taxes: T = 10 Money demand: Md /P = Y /i In periods of financial turmoil, banks often choose to hold excess reserves above and beyond what they are required to hold by law. We shall denote the proportion of deposits held as excess reserves as ρ and the required reserve ratio as θ....

1. (The IS-LM-PC model): Assume the following relations characterize the goods market: (i) 1128 +0.2Y 300(rt + xt) (iii)G,-215 :T t = 200 (iv)st= 0.15 or 15% e) Derive the IS curve (as a relation between Y and r). (b) Assume the LM curve is given by r 0.16 (ie. in period t, the central bank sets the real interest rate at 16%). What is the short-run equilibrium level of output (Yt )? (c) Suppose that L = 2000 and...
