1- During 2003, we began to stop worrying that inflation was a problem. Instead , we began to worry about deflation, a decline in the price level. Assume that the central bank ( federal reserve ) decided to hold the money supply constant. What impact would deflation have on inserts rate ?
2- why might investment not respond positively to low-interest rates during a recession ? why might investment not respond negatively to high-interest rate during a boom ?
3- Describe the central bank's ( federal reserves's) tendency to " lean against the winsd " Do the central banks policies tend to stabilize or destabilize the economy?
Explanation / Answer
1.
If the money supply is constant, deflation creates interest rate to fall.
It happens due to the downward-shifting money demand curve to the left of the original demand curve, causing decrease in demand.
