  1. Assume that the Federal Reserve (%u201Cthe Fed%u201D) unexpectedly shifts to restrictive monetary policy. Why would the Fed make such a policy shift? Explain how the Federal Reserve will implement this restrictive monetary and how the effects of this policy will ripple through the economy to impact real output both in the short run(SRAS) and in the long run (LRAS).

  1. Using the Federal Reserve%u2019s report (see link below) on Money Stock Measures for June 7, 2012 determine the growth rate of the Seasonally Adjusted M1 Money Supply between January 2011 and January 2012. State the rate of growth as a percent of January 2011 Seasonally Adjusted M1 Money Supply. Given the state of the economy, should monetary authorities increase or decrease the growth rate of money? Explain why. Link to report: http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/

  1. Is stability in the general level of prices through time important? Why or why not? Should price stability be the goal of monetary policy? Explain your responses.

  1. What is the Quantity Theory of Money? What are its implications? Does the theory have any shortcomings, if so what are they? Have the predictions of the Quantity of Theory of Money proven accurate?

3. Please list the 4 key supply side growth factors we discussed, and discuss their viability in terms of getting our economy growing again, given that today our economy is not growing.

a. The slides should provide you with what you need here.

b. The issue of viability – if the economy is growing slowly or not at all, do we have any chance of achieving success with each of the 4 growth factors? What will likely cause us problems? What approaches could we use to increase our odds of success? You need to think carefully on this one.

4. Creative problem solving

Scenario #1:

The rate of growth in the US economy is currently 0.5% annually. Your mission is to increase our growth rate to at least 4% annually, without setting off unacceptable levels of inflation. You have the tools of fiscal and monetary policy available.

a. Present your solution to the problem – write it down first.

i. Strategy for creating your solution:

1. First identify a specific natural resource and think through how having more of it or a better quality of it could lead to significantly increasing the GDP growth rate.

2. This will lead you to a general solution to the problem.

3. Write it down! The explanation of the solution should take at least one good paragraph!

4. Determine what will be required to make the solution happen, typically it is money.

5. Think of ways to use your fiscal and monetary policy tools to get the needed money.

6. To attack the problem you must select at least one Monetary Policy tool and one Fiscal Policy tool.

b. Write down the names of the one fiscal policy tool and the one monetary policy tools you picked.

i. Remember – for this question you need one Fiscal Policy tool and one Monetary Policy tool.

c. Explain why you picked the tools that you picked and why you did not select the other choices.

i. Specifically explain what is good about the tool you selected and what is not so good about the tools

you did not select? Do this for

both the monetary and fiscal policy tool that you selected. The key here is to use some decision criteria in making your choice.

d.,Thoroughly and completely explain how your solution would work to solve the problem. You must include and explain the use of your monetary and fiscal policy tools and indicate the impact your solution would have on the key economic variables. Please present your answer using a chain of events format. Be specific. I need to see the detail.

Consider an economy where the production function is given by Y = K^(1/2)L^(1/2). The level of capital in the economy equals 400, and the number of employed workers is 225. Suppose the quantity of money in the economy equals 200, and the velocity of money circulation is constant and equals 5. Suppose initially the economy is in the long-run equilibrium.

1. Use the quantity theory of money to determine the aggregate demand in the economy.

2. Determine the equilibrium output and the price level in period 0.

3. Suppose in period 1 the central bank decreases money supply by 50. What will happen to output in the short-run?

4. Is monetary policy neutral in the short-run?

5. What will be the equilibrium price level and output after prices adjust to the shock?

6. Is monetary policy neutral in the long-run?
