Explain the type of monetary policy a government would implement in order tocurb inflation.
Would a monetary policy intended to bring about disinflation cause a greater increase in unemployment if workers and firms have adaptive expectations or if they have rational expectations. Briefly explain. 1. 2. Why is the credibility of the State Bank's policy announcements particularly important? 3. Why do workers, firms, banks and investors in financial markets care about the future rate of inflation? 4. Why do most economists agree that it is important to have a country's central bank to be independent of the country's central government? 5. How does an increase in interest rates affect aggregate demand? Briefly discuss how each component of aggregate demand is affected. If the State Bank believes the economy is about to fall into recession, what actions should it take? 6. 7. If the State Bank believes the inflation rate is about to increase, what actions should it take? 8. What is the main difference between M1 and M2 definitions of the money supply? 9. Explain the Consumption…
The long-run effects of monetary policy The following graphs plot the long-run equilibrium situation for an economy. The first graph plots the aggregate demand (AD) and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves. The second graph plots the long-run and short-run Phillips curves (LRPC and SRPC, respectively). LRAS H AD 3 6 9 12 OUTPUT (Trillions of dollars) PRICE LEVEL 0 15 18 AD 441 LRAS
In the Financial Times article “UK businesses expect prices to soar in the coming year” (3 March 2022) we can read: “British businesses expect inflation to rise at its fastest pace for five years, according to a Bank of England survey, […] the Bank of England has often quoted high business inflation expectations […] in recent months to support the need for further monetary policy tightening.” (a) Explain why the central bank considers business expectations when making decisions on monetary policy. (100 words) (b) In February 2022, inflation in the UK was expected to increase to close to 6% in February and March, before peaking at around 7 ¼% in April. Despite this, the Monetary Policy Committee in the Bank of England increase the policy rate to 0.25% to 0.5%, even if some members recommended an increase to 0.75%. Using the 3-equation model, depict the UK economy in February 2022, and provide some reasons why the Bank of England did not increase the interest rate to 0.75% (or higher).…
