Suppose monetary policy raises nominal interest rates by $0.8$ every time inflation rises by 1. (a) How do you expect the central bank gets on in stabilizing inflation around a low level? (b) Suppose inflation is nevertheless low and stable: how might you explain this outcome?
The income elasticity of demand is 2/3. Real income is expected to grow by 4.5% over the next year with the real interest rate expected to remain constant over the next year. The rate of inflation has been zero for several years. (a) If the central bank wants zero inflation over the next year, what growth rate of the nominal money supply should it choose? (b) By how much will velocity change over the next year if the central bank follows the policy that achieves zero inflation?

QUESTION THREE Assuming a constant velocity of money while the money supply is growing 10% per year, real GDP is growing at 4% per year, and the real interest rate is r = 8%. Assume that actual Inflation is equal to expected inflation. a) Find the value of the nominal interest rate in this economy b) If the central bank increases the money growth rate by 4% per year, find the change in the nominal interest rate Ai C) Suppose the growth rate of Y falls to 2% per year. What will happen to inflation? What must the central bank do if it wishes to keep inflation constant?
