1. If people expect higher inflation in the near future, the expected return on bonds rises/falls), and the demand for money (increases/decreases), leading to the rate of interest increasing/decreasing). 2. For the following questions, fill in the blanks below with: rises/falls/right/left/increase/decrease a. When real income increases, the demand curve for money shifts to the the interest rate _, everything else held constant. and b. A business cycle expansion increases income, causing money demand to interest rates to , everything else...
Assume that the expected inflation of India is 8 percent while the expected inflation in United Kingdom is 2 percent. Suppose that international capital flows equalize the real interest rates in the two countries and that purchasing-power parity holds so that the nominal exchange rate remains the same. Taking India's perspective, what is the expected change (as a number in percentage terms) in the real exchange rate between the British Pound and the Indian Rupee? Give your answer as a...
Suppose that velocity of money is constant, the expected inflation rate is equal to the actual inflation rate, and the expected real interest rate is 4%. Answer the following questions. Justify your answers. Does the quantity theory allow for money to be used for assets and risk diversification purposes? When the growth rate of money supply is 7% and the growth rate of real GDP is 3%, what is the nominal interest rate? Let the growth rate of money supply...
Question 5 [10 points] If inflation rises from 6 to 8 percent, what happens to real and nominal interest rates according to the Fisher effect?
Suppose there are three assets: A, B, and C. Asset A’s expected return and standard deviation are 1 percent and 1 percent. Asset B has the same expected return and standard deviation as Asset A. However, the correlation coefficient of Assets A and B is −0.25. Asset C’s return is independent of the other two assets. The expected return and standard deviation of Asset C are 0.5 percent and 1 percent. (a) Find a portfolio of the three assets that...

Suppose the real rate is 8 percent and the inflation rate is 1.6 percent. What rate would you expect to see on a Treasury bill? O11.19% 9.73% 8.76% 8.27 % 10.70% QUESTION 2 If expected return is less than required return on an asset, rational investors will A sell the asset, which will drive the price up and cause the expected return to reach the level of the required return O B. sell the asset, which will drive the price...
Suppose that workers and firms perfectly forecast inflation, so that the real wage remains unchanged as the price level rises over time. Prices and wages rise at the same rate, which implies that the real wage stays constant. The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD) in an economy in long-run equilibrium. Assume the natural rate of unemployment is 6%, and potential output is $50 trillion. Use the orange points (square symbol) to draw the aggregate supply curve in...
Illustrate and briefly explain the beginning of a demand-pull inflation. 3. When answering parts a and b, draw the relevant Phillips curve. Using a short-run Phillips curve, what is the effect on the unemployment rate if the inflation rate unexpectedly rises. Using a long-run Phillips curve, what is the effect on the unemployment rate if the inflation rate rises and people expect the rise. Explain how your answer to part a about the unexpected rise in the inflation rate changes in...
