1. Suppose the central bank implements a monetary expansion in
the current period and is not expected to continue this policy in
the future. Explain what effect this policy will have on the shape
of the yield curve and on stock prices.
Suppose that the Central Bank follows a monetary policy rule as
discussed in the textbook and lectures. The country is in the
long-run macroeconomic equilibrium. Suppose that in period 1 the
country experiences a 3% inflation shock that lasts only for one
period, so in periods 2, 3, and so on there is no inflation
shock.
1. What happens to inflation and output in period 1? Does
inflation rise by more or by less than 3%? (Use the AD-AS framework...
Suppose the Central bank is conducting an expansionary
monetary policy, in the new monetarist model by issuing outside
money and exchanging it for government bonds on the open
market.
What are its effects on FLA? Illustrate the equilibrium
effects of this on aggregates variables. Does it matter if there is
a liquidity trap where excess reserves are held in the financial
system? If so why? and if not, why not? explain.
In the monetary intertemporal model, suppose the central bank
issues money in exchange for capital, and rents this capital out to
firms each period, thus earning the market real interest rate r on
the capital. Over time, as the central bank earns interest on its
capital holdings, it uses these returns to retire money from the
private economy. What are the long-run effects? Is the outcome
economically efficient? Explain your results.
Which of the following is a limitation of monetary policy:
1. The central bank cold lose control over domestic money supply
and interest rates, which can become more volatile
2. The foreign currency can come under speculative attacks and
lose significant value, which can eventually lead to a full-blown
crisis.
3. The central bank could maintain too much control over
domestic money supply and interest rates, which can become more
volatile exchange rate targeting.
In ABCT, what is the effect of a credit expansion by the central
bank? Using the ABCT framework, show the effect of a credit
expansion on the macroeconomy (use the ppf, stages of production
and loanable funds market graphs to show your answer graphically).
(Be sure to explain verbally what you depict graphically).
What are the tools of monetary control used by central banks,
such as the Bank of England, the European Central Bank? Why cannot
central banks fully control the money supply
If the central bank wants to increase the money supply with
outright open-market operations, what does it do?

Suppose the current inflation rate is higher that the target
inflation rate. Would the Central bank increase or decrease the
interest rate? In your answer, explain how the Central bank makes
this decision and explain the steps involved in changing the
interest rate.
