We saw that former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke argued that w interest rates in the United States during the mid-2000s were due to a global vings glut rather than to Federal Reserve policy. In an interview with Albert Hunt Bloomberg Television, Alan Greenspan, who was Federal Reserve Chairman from ugust 1987 through January 2006, made the following similar argument: Behind the low level of long-term rates: a global savings glut as China, Russia and other emerging market economies earned more money on exports than they could easily invest. a) Use two loanable funds graphs to illustrate Greenspan's argument that a global savings glut caused low interest rates in the United States. One graph should illustrate the situation in the United States, and the other graph should illustrate the situation in the rest of the world. b) Why should Alan Greenspan care about a debate over the causes of low interest rates?

Read the following article, which introduces the concept of Treasury bills and the relationship between their yield and price. Then answer the question that follows. HOW DO T-BILL YIELDS GO NEGATIVE? BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM The week of September 15, 2008, was ripe with volatility in U.S. financial markets. Events unfolding in the wake of the mortgage crisis made investors extremely fearful. One result of this fear was a "flight to quality" as investors sought to avoid risk by moving their funds into the safest asset classes. U.S. Treasury securities (or "Treasuries," as they're commonly known) are one such asset class, considered to have virtually no risk. An article from the Associated Press (Madlen Read, "Treasures Dip on RTC Speculation, but Anxiety High," September 18, 2008) discusses some of the factors that led investors to bid up the prices of 3-month United States Treasury bills (T-bills) to such an extent that their yields fell to a shockingly low level. Before…
In the Financial Times article, “Fed signals no rate rise until at least 2024 despite growth upgrade” (17 March 2021), we can read: “Federal Reserve officials signalled that they expect to keep interest rates close to zero until at least 2024, even as they sharply upgraded their US growth forecasts because of a massive fiscal stimulus and an accelerating vaccine rollout. [...] The upgrades to the forecasts from Fed officials were significant: whereas in December they predicted 4.2 percent growth this year, that estimate was bumped up to 6.5 percent, which would be the fastest economic expansion since 1984. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is now forecast to fall to 4.5 percent by the end of the year instead of 5 percent. [...] inflation [...], is expected to rise to 2.2 percent and above the central bank’s 2 percent target, compared with the smaller rise to 1.8 percent predicted in December. [...] The Fed has pledged to maintain rock-bottom interest rates until the US reaches full…
Consider a closed economy where the goods and money markets are described by the following relationships: C = 200 + 0.9(Y – T) 1 = 400 – 15r M = 200 + Y – 100r G = 150 T = 100 M = 2000 P = 2 Where Cis planned consumption, / is planned investment spending, Tis government tax revenues, G is government purchases, M is the money supply, P is the price level and r is the interest rate. Department of Economics a) Derive the two expressions for the IS and LM equilibrium relationships respectively. Sketch a graph of the two relationships. b) Calculate the equilibrium value of output Y and interest rate r (round off your answers to one decimal point). Compute also the level of consumption and investment spending in equilibrium and check whether the actual level of spending matches the equilibrium level of output.
Please complete the two attached graphs and answer the following questions for this. A. Suppose that for every increase in the interest rate of one percentage point, the level of investment spending declines by $2.5 billion. Based on the changes made to the money market in the previous scenario, would the new interest rate causes the level of investment spending to Rise or Fall? And by $1.02 billion, $0.62 billion, or $2.5 billion? B. Taking the multiplier effect into account, will the change in investment spending cause the quantity of output demanded to decrease or increase? And $1.2, $2, or $5 billion at every price level? C. The impact of an increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending is known as the crowding out, automatic stabilizer, multiplier, or liquidity preference effect?
