Answer: B Section 2: Short Questions Each question is worth 10 points, for a total of 60 points. Points allocated to explanation/computation only. Question 1. True, false, or uncertain: In a world where the stock of money grows continually, the long-run rate of inflation of a country is independent of its exchange rate regime Question 2. Imagine that Congress passes a constitutional amendment requiring the U.S. government to maintain a balanced budget at all times. Thus, if the government wishes to change government spending, it must change taxes by the same amount. The constitutional amendment implies that the government can no longer use fiscal policy to affect employment and output. Question 3. The Central Bank of Saudi Arabia pegs the Riyal to the United States Dollar at a price of 3.75 Riyal per dollar. Describe a monetary policy intervention that the Central Bank of Saudi Arabia must pursue in response to a temporary fiscal expansion in the United States. How would this show on the AA-DD graph? Question 4. A large (temporary) expansionary shock to the demand for money causes a recession. Using the AA-DD schedules, discuss the effects of countercyclical fiscal and monetary policies on output and the exchange rate. Question 5. Using diagrams, fully describe the impact of a permanent reduction in money supply on output, interest rates, exchange rates (nominal and real), and prices. Your description must explain the behavior on the money market, the foreign exchange market, and the goods market. 4

5 Question 6. The Central Bank of the Bahamas pegs the US dollar. The Bank believes that a reduction of home interest rates would stimulate investment. Using the appropriate diagrams, describe a temporary monetary policy and sterilized intervention that maintain a fixed exchange rate, but lower home interest rates. For this question, you must assume the existence of a risk premium. 5
