Beginning from a position of long-run equilibrium, an expansionary monetary policy by the Bank of Canada causes
A) an increase in the level of potential output
B) a fall in the general price level
C) an increase in most market interest rates
D) aggregate demand for goods and services to exceed potential output
E) aggregate demand for goods and services to fall short of potential output
Option d is correct
If we start from the long run, monetary expansion increases the money supply which reduces the rate of interest and stimulates investment. this increases aggregate demand and aggregate demand curve shifts to the right surpassing the potential GDP. In the short run there will be an increase in the price level and an increase in the GDP because potential GDP remains unchanged

An economy is initially at potential output, in the long run, expansionary monetary policy is expected: a) not to affect output in the long run b) not to affect output in either the short run or the long run c) to affect output, but only in the long run d) to affect output in both the short run and the long run Which of the following monetary policies likely decreases aggregate demand and, in the short run, output? a) A...
1) of the Central Bank of Kuwait puts in place an expansionary monetary policy, its decision is based on A) the fact that the economy is at ful employment B) Expectation of excessive inflation in the future C) the fact that the economy is in an expansion D) Unemployment level is high 2) When the interest rate is set at a very low rate A) the opportunity cost of holding money is very low B) the money demand will shift...
Suppose that the central bank carries a brief expansionary monetary policy and at the same time there is a surge in economic activity. As a result of these two facts, it is observed that short-term interest rates increase and that, in equilibrium, agents choose to hold more monetary assets. a) Does this information contradict the expected negative relationship between interest rates and money demand? Explain. b) Explain what happens (and why) in terms of supply and demand for funds in...
32. The rational expectations hypotheses implies that discretionary macroeconomic policy is: a. relatively effective in both the short run and long run b. relatively effective in the short run but ineffective in the long run c. relatively ineffective in both the short run and long run d. effective in the long run since decision makers will continually make predictable, systematic errors 33. The modern view of the Phillips curve suggests that a. when inflation is less than anticipated, unemployment will...
I. The economy of Zarland is operating below the full-employment level of output with a balanced budget. (a) Draw a correctly labeled graph of short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand, and show each of the following. (Gi) The country's current equilibrium output and price level, labeled Yj and PL1. respectively (ii) The full-employment output, labeled Yf (b) Ir Zarland increases government expenditures and taxes by equal amounts, can aggregate demand increase? Explain. (c) If Zarland decides to...
Suppose the Bank of Canada implements monetary policy which results in an immediate increase in aggregate demand of $12 Billion. If the spending multipler is 1.5 what would be the ultimate effect of this monetary policy on total economic output? a) it would rise by $1.5 billion b) it would fall by $12 billion c) it would rise by $18 billion d) no change e)it would fall by $18 billion
The graph shows the effects of an expansionary monetary policy, which, over time, results in shifts of both the aggregate demand curve (AD1 to AD2) and the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS1 to SRAS2) If the dot indicates the economy's initial equilibrium state, place a second dot to show the economy's new equilibrium in the short run, given that the monetary policy move was completely expected. To refer to the graphing tutorial for this question type, please click here. Price...
The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose a sudden and severe contraction in the housing market reduces the value of homes and causes consumers to spend less.Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the housing market slump.In the short run, the decrease in consumption spending associated with the housing...

The economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when the point of short-run macroeconomic equilibrium is on the long-run aggregate supply curve. Using a graph, depict and explain the short-run versus long-run effects of: I. A contractionary monetary policy resulting in demand shock on the long-run macroeconomic equilibrium. Use one contractionary monetary policy to illustrate your analysis, explain the nature of the policy and clearly depict the direction of the shift and changes in the equilibrium point, where necessary. II. An...
