Please choose 1 of the following 2 questions to answer.

Please answer it as fully as possible. For the answer, you can do some research from the web. But We expect you to draw more on the course materials introduced in class.

Question 1:

You are the governor of the bank of Canada. It is 1988 and the economy is facing very high inflation, nearly 18 percent, and modest gains in GDP growth. You decide to be an inflation hawk and decide to target inflation between 1 and 3 percent. In order to do this you need to put a blueprint together to support you decision. What are the pros and cons of inflation and show how a permanent change towards inflation target will see the benefits exceed the costs the longer inflation is targeted. What are some of the tools you can use to achieve your goal? In keeping the economy as close to potential as possible, what role does expectations play in your blueprint? How do you form expectations in the economy and what are the benefits of being a transparent and credit central banker when trying to achieve your target and secondly keeping the real economy as close to potential as possible. Do you ever think there is case where you primary mandate should change from one that has inflation targeting as the key focus or do you think this mandate should change in include output stability? Why or why not?

Question 2:
You are the governor of the bank of Canada. The economy is doing really well and the real economy is equal to potential. The government has been running large budget deficits in the long run however. However, technological breakthroughs have been pushing the potential of the economy. The 5G network has become more widespread and this has improved the capacity and efficiency of the economy in both the short and long run. We thus anticipate a shift in both the short and long run supply curves in the economy.

In the background, housing prices have been increasing and the private sector is facing higher interest rates given the huge budget deficits. Many people are looking to the bank of Canada to conduct policy to get the economy to the new optimum while tackling some of the more pressing issues such as high housing pricing and the impacts of higher general interest rates in the economy. Please put a plan together addressing these issues. How would you conduct your policy to achieve your goals while staying in your mandate of keeping inflation between 1 and 3 percent?

  about your findings. Use creativity and construct a pie graph, data
  table, or chart of the findings and also use images within your
  powerpoint.
• Part 3- For the last part of this

  think it is important or not that the government spends money on this
  area. Please provide references from the text or other outside sources

Please choose 4 of the following 6 questions to answer.

Please answer it as fully as possible.

For the answer, you can do some research online, but we expect you to draw more on the course materials introduced in class.

1. Suppose we are at the long run equilibrium level in the economy where the real economy is equal to potential. Suppose that there is an increase in aggregate demand due to more fiscal and monetary stimulus. What happens to prices and output in the short run versus long run if prices are sticky, fixed or flexible? For economic efficiency, do you want prices to be fixed or flexible or a mix of both? Why or why not? Use graphs to explain your answers and be as thorough as possible.

2. Political economy is very important in the discussion of economic policy. Politics will always exist but the need for strong and stable institutions are things that must be the cornerstone of any strong efficient economy. Explain the concept of the political business cycle and why it suggests that strong independent institutions, such as an independent central bank are needed. Why do institutions such as the central bank need to be independent from other forms of government such as the department of finance? Use examples that show that good economic policy will usually come only if strong independent institutions exist that resist political pressure. Be as detailed and thorough as possible.

3. Monetary and fiscal policy is what central banks and the governments conduct in order to achieve their objectives. How effective is fiscal and monetary policy when we have a) fixed exchanges rates or b) flexible exchange rates? Explain both alternative a) and b) in your answer as fully as possible.

4. What is money and what are some ways we can define it? How will digital currency affect the way we look at money in terms of measurement of money in the economy and how will it affect how monetary policy is conducted in the future?

5. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of inflation targeting. Do you think the analysis would be different if we answered this question pre versus post COVID?

6. What is monetary demand and why is it so important to understand when conducting monetary policy? How does money demand interact with the money supply to determine interest rates? What are factors that shift the money demand curve? If money supply is exogenous, how does a fall or rise in money demand impact interest rates and the economy? Explain.
