According to the portfolio theories of money demand, what are the four factors that determine money demand? What changes in these factors can increase the demand for money?
Consider two central banks: one with a history of maintaining price stability and low inflation, and the other with a history of high inflation and poor inflation management. All else equal, if the same level of government budget deficit is monetized in both countries, how is inflation likely to behave in each country?
Suppose that a plot of the values of M2 and nominal GDP for a given country over years shows that these two variables are very closely related. In particular, a plot of their ratio (nominal GDP/M2) yields very stable and easy-to-predict values. On the basis of this evidence, would you recommend that the monetary authorities of this country conduct monetary policy by focusing mostly on the money supply rather than on setting interest rates? Explain.
Identify three factors that can shift the aggregate demand curve to the right and three different factors that can shift the aggregate demand curve to the left.
What happens to nominal GDP if the money supply grows by but velocity declines by ?
