Get started for freeAssume that the monetary policy curve is given by
a. Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate is
b. Draw a graph of the MP curve, labeling the points from part (a).
c. Assume now that the monetary policy curve is given by Does the new monetary policy curve represent an autonomous tightening or loosening of monetary policy?
d. Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate is and draw the new MP curve, showing the shift from part (b).
What factors affect the slope of the aggregate demand curve?
Why does the aggregate demand curve shift when “animal spirits” change?
Assume that the monetary policy curve is given by
r = 1.5 + 0.75p.
a. Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate
is 2%, 3%, and 4%.
b. Draw a graph of the MP curve, labeling the points
from part (a).
c. Assume now that the monetary policy curve is given
by r = 2.5 + 0.75p. Does the new monetary policy
curve represent an autonomous tightening or loosening
of monetary policy?
d. Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate
is 2%, 3%, and 4%, and draw the new MP curve,
showing the shift from part (b).
How does an autonomous tightening or easing of monetary policy by the Fed affect the MP curve?
