7. Assume that output growth in the U.S. is 2%, money demand (L) is constant and money supply growth is 4%. Assume that output growth in China is 5%, L is constant and money supply growth is 9%. a. Assume that relative PPP and the quantity theory of money holds. What is the growth rate of the dollar-China exchange rate (%∆E$/China)? b. What should money supply growth be in China if China wants to fix its currency to the dollar? c. Suppose L is growing by 1% per year in the U.S. What is the inflation rate in the U.S.?

7. Assume that output growth in the U.S. is 2%, money demand (L) is constant and money supply growth is 4%. Assume that output growth in China is 58, L is constant and money supply growth is 98. a. Assume that relative PPP and the quantity theory of money holds. What is the growth rate of the dollar-China exchange rate (AES/China)? b. What should money supply growth be in China if China wants to fix its currency to the dollar?...
value of currency depending upon prices by supply and demand. The deviation happens due to a few factors like sticky consumer price, inflation, exports. 4. Suppose that the U.S. inflation rate is expected to be 1.5%, and the Mexican inflation rate is expected to be 4.5% in 2020. The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso will_ _ (rise, fall, remain unchanged) by __%, if the PPP theory of exchange rate determination holds true. 5. Suppose that...
1. Consider two countries, U.S. and Thailand. In 2019, the U.S. experienced an output growth of 2%, whereas Thailand had an output growth of 4.5%. Suppose the U.S. Federal Reserve allowed the money supply to grow by 4.5% each year, whereas the Bank of Thailand chose to maintain relatively high money supply growth of 6% per year. For the following questions, use the simple monetary model. Treat the U.S. as the home country and Thailand as the foreign country. (a)...
Question 35 If the money supply growth rate permanently increased from 4 percent to 10 percent, what would we expect to happen to the inflation rate and the nominal interest rate? Both the inflation rate and the nominal interest rate would increase by less than 6 percent. The inflation rate would increase by 6 percent, and the nominal interest rate would increase by less than 10 percent. The inflation rate would increase by less than 6 percent, and the nominal interest rate would increase...
7. Suppose that the demand and supply of money in the U.S. can be depicted by each of the graphs below. For each situation, assume that the overall price level in the economy cannot change (i.e. it is a "short-run" analysis). (30 total points) a) Show how the money market would be affected in the graph if the Federal Reserve Board in the U.S. decides to sell bonds to the private bond market. . Describe what would happen (if anything)...
Assume that the quantity theory of money holds and that velocity is constant at 5.0. Output is fixed at its full-employment value of 10 000, and the price level is 2.0. Determine the real demand for money. The government fixes the nominal money supply at 5000. With output fixed at its fullemployment level and with the assumption that prices are flexible, what will be the new price level? What will be the price level if the government increases the nominal...
Question 3 This question considers long-run policies in Mexico relative to Canada. Assume Mexico's money growth rate is currently 4% and its inflation rate is 2%. Canada's money growth rate is 6% with 3.25% inflation rate. The world real interest rate is 0.75%. For the following questions, use the conditions associated with the general monetary model. Treat Mexico as the home country and define the exchange rate as Mexican pesos per Canadian dollar, E/cS. a. Calculate the growth rate of...
The graph below shows demand and
supply curves for U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange
market. As you can see, the exchange rate (in terms of
foreign currency units per dollar) is initially equal to
E0.
Suppose that next year there’s
a huge increase in the number of foreigners – from Europe, China,
and everywhere else – who decide to visit the U.S. as
tourists.
How would this huge increase in tourism in the U.S. affect the
exchange rate? To answer this,...
Suppose that the money demand function takes the form If output grows at rate and the nominal interest rate is constant, at what rate will the demand for real balances grow? What is the velocity of money in this economy? If inflation and nominal interest rates are constant, at what rate, if any, will velocity grow? How will a permanent (once-and-for-all) increase in the level of interest rates affect the level of velocity? How will it affect the subsequent growth...
2. (20 points) According to classical macroeconomics policy, money supply shocks are "neutral" (a) Explain what this means. (b) Based on that theory, how would a 5% increase in a nation's money supply affect its real wage rate (), all else equal? I (c) According to the quantatity of money, how would a 5% increase in money supply affect the price of goods and services (P), all else equal? (d) To be consistent with both theories, what would have to...
