Suppose the economy is initially operating at Yn. Now suppose the Fed conducts a monetary contraction where Ms decreases. Using AS and AD, and IS-LM graphs, illustrate the initial equilibrium, and medium run equilibrium.
- What are the initial effects of the decrease in Ms Y, r, I, and C?
- What happens to u and Y relative to their natural levels during: the short run, and the medium run?
- What are the medium effects of the decrease in Ms on P, Y, r, I, and C?
