Lab 7 (Question 2) ~ Lyryx Learning Inc laecon1.lyryx.com/student-servlets/LabServlet?ccid=3693 Question 2 [19 points] The monetary policy rule states that a central bank can monitor inflation and GDP by following the equation given by i = in + (IT - IT ) + (Y - Y). In reality, the Bank of Canada does seem to follow this rule, and set a targeted inflation rate TI . For this question, suppose IT = 1%. Suppose the current inflation I = IT , and yet Y = Yp. Let in = 8%. Note: Keep as much precision as possible during your calculations. Your final answer should be accurate to at least two decimal places. a) Find the value of i. i = 0% b) Now suppose a drop in investment confidence leads to Y - Y = -5%. Let us put aside inflation rates for now. According to the monetary policy rule, what interest rate should the Bank of Canada now set? Interest rate = 0% c) How would you expect IT to change when i drops? Explain what happens to AE and AD. As the interest rate drops, firms will spend (Select here) on investment, so AD and AE will (Select here) , therefore creating (Select here) pressure on inflation. d) Suppose TT = TT - Ai. Find the new TI. IT = 0% e) Suppose the Bank knew that the new ir would be higher. In order to balance between inflation and GDP targets, it has to set a new interest rate weighting both of these effects. Now find the new i that the Bank should set knowing that IT = TT - Ai. Interest rate = 0% f) Find the corresponding inflation rate. Inflation rate = 0% g) Discuss intuitively why this interest is higher/lower than the one you would have wanted to set in part b). The new interest rate drops from 0 % to 0 %, because knowing that a huge (Select here) in JUL 18 TALKChrome File Edit View History Bookmarks People Tab Window Help Get $ 54% Sat 1:39 PM Q OE . ..
