5. Consider a variation of the Taylor rule: $r_t = (0.25)r_{TAYLOR} + (0.75)r_{t-1}$, where $r_t$ is the real interest rate in a quarter, $r_{TAYLOR}$ is the interest rate implied by the Taylor rule, and $r_{t-1}$ is the interest rate in the previous quarter. Call this rule TR-S. If $r_{t-1} = 3$ percent and the Taylor rule indicates that the central bank should set $r_{TAYLOR}$ to 4 percent, then the TR-S rule dictates that $r_t$ should be 6. Show the likely paths of monetary policy transmission process taking an example of interest rate cuts on financial markets and different expenditure components.

36. The monetary transmission mechanism describes how changes in the the money market (possibly caused by monetary policy) cause changes in the interest rate, which then cause changes in 1) aggregate demand and real GDP; 2) desired investment and net exports; 3) the price level. 1 only 2 only 3 only 1 and 2 1, 2, and 3

If the Federal Reserve tries to target inflation near 2%, the inflation rate is 3%, and output is 3% below potential GDP, then the target federal funds rate according to the Taylor rule is: Group of answer choices 3%. 4%. 5%. 6%.

Suppose that actual inflation is 3 percentage points, the Fed's inflation target is 2 percentage points, and unemployment is 1 percent below the Fed's unemployment target. According to the Taylor rule, what value will the Fed want to set for its targeted interest rate?
