Consider the economy described in Applied Problem 23.
a. Derive expressions for the MP curve and the AD curve.
b. Assume that . What are the real interest rate and the equilibrium level of output?
c. Suppose government spending increases to $4 trillion. What happens to equilibrium output?
d. If the Fed wants to keep output constant, then what monetary policy change should it make?
How does an autonomous tightening or easing of monetary policy by the Fed affect the MP curve?
Assume that the monetary policy curve is given by
r = 1.5 + 0.75p.
a. Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate
is 2%, 3%, and 4%.
b. Draw a graph of the MP curve, labeling the points
from part (a).
c. Assume now that the monetary policy curve is given
by r = 2.5 + 0.75p. Does the new monetary policy
curve represent an autonomous tightening or loosening
of monetary policy?
d. Calculate the real interest rate when the inflation rate
is 2%, 3%, and 4%, and draw the new MP curve,
showing the shift from part (b).
What is the key assumption underlying the Fed’s ability to control the real interest rate?
Use an IS curve and an MP curve to derive graphically the AD curve.
