Is the Fed politically independent? Why do economists think central bank independence is important?Answer: Instrument independence is the ability of the central bank to set its instruments, and goal independence is the ability of a central bank to set its goals. The Fed enjoys both types of independence. The Fed is largely independent of political pressure due to its earnings and the conditions of appointment of the Board of Governors and its chairman. However, some political pressure can be applied through the threat or enactment of legislation affecting the Fed. Independence is important because there is some evidence that independent central banks pursue lower rates of inflation without harming overall economic performance.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking13.4 Should the Fed Be Independent?1) The case for Federal Reserve independence does NOT include the idea thatA) political pressure would impart an inflationary bias to monetary policy.B) a politically insulated Fed would be more concerned with long-run objectives and thus be a defender of a sound dollar and a stable price level.C) policy is always performed better by an elite group such as the Fed.D) a Federal Reserve under the control of Congress or the president might make the so-called political business cycle more pronounced.Answer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) The political business cycle refers to the phenomenon that just before elections, politicians enact ________ policies.

An independent Federal Reserve can shield the economy from the political business cycle, and it will be less likely to have an inflationary bias to monetary policy. 2. Control of the money supply is too important to leave to inexperienced politicians.Case against: 1. It is undemocratic to have monetary policy be controlled by a small number of individuals that are not accountable. 2. In the past, an independent Fed has not used its freedom wisely. 3. Its independence may encourage it to pursue its own self-interest rather than the public's interest.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Ethical Understanding and Reasoning Abilities13.5 Explaining Central Bank Behavior1) The theory of bureaucratic behavior suggests that the objective of a bureaucracy is to maximizeA) the public's welfare.B) profits.C) its own welfare.D) conflict with the executive and legislative branches of government.Answer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) The theory of bureaucratic behavior when applied to the Fed helps to explain why the FedA) was supportive of congressional attempts to limit the central bank's autonomy.B) was so secretive about the conduct of future monetary policy.C) sought less control over banks in the 1980s.D) was willing to take on powerful groups that may threaten its autonomy.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking3) What is the theory of bureaucratic behavior and how can it be used to explain the behavior of the Federal Reserve?Answer: The theory of bureaucratic behavior concludes that the main objective of any bureaucracy is to maximize its own welfare, which is related to power and prestige. This can explain why the Federal Reserve has defended its autonomy, avoids conflict with Congress and the president, and its push to gain more control over banks.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Analytical Thinking13.6 Structure and Independence of the European Central Bank1) Under the European System of Central Banks, the Executive Board is similar in structure to the ________ of the Federal Reserve System.A) Board of GovernorsB) Federal Open Market CommitteeC) Federal Reserve BanksD) Federal Advisory CouncilAnswer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) Under the European System of Central Banks, the Governing Council is similar in structure to the ________ of the Federal Reserve System.A) Board of GovernorsB) Federal Open Market CommitteeC) Federal Reserve BanksD) Federal Advisory CouncilAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking3) Under the European System of Central Banks, the National Central Banks have the same role as the ________ of the Federal Reserve System.A) Board of GovernorsB) Federal Open Market CommitteeC) Federal Reserve BanksD) Federal Advisory CouncilAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking4) Members of the Executive Board of the European System of Central Banks are appointed to ________ year, nonrenewable terms.A) fourB) eightC) tenD) fourteenAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking5) Which of the following statements comparing the European System of Central Banks and the Federal Reserve System is TRUE?A) The budgets of the Federal Reserve Banks are controlled by the Board of Governors, while the National Central Banks control their own budgets and the budget of the European Central Bank.B) The European Central Bank has similar power over the National Central Banks when compared to the level of power the Board of Governors has over the Federal Reserve Banks.

The National Central Banks of the member countries of the Eurosystem have the same role as the Federal Reserve Banks in the Federal Reserve System. The Executive Board and the Governing Council of the Eurosystem resemble the Board of Governors and the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System, respectively. There are three major differences between the two. The first difference is concerning the control of the budgets. In the Fed, the Board of Governors controls the budgets of the Reserve Banks while in the Eurosystem, the National Banks control the budget of the European Central Bank. The second difference is the monetary operations of the Eurosystem are conducted by the National Banks, so they are not as centralized as the monetary operations in the Federal Reserve System.Ques Status: RevisedAACSB: Reflective Thinking13.7 Structure and Independence of Other Foreign Central Banks1) On paper, the Bank of Canada has ________ instrument independence and ________ goal independence when compared to the Federal Reserve System.A) less; lessB) less; moreC) more; lessD) more; moreAnswer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) The oldest central bank, having been founded in 1694, is theA) Bank of England.B) Deutsche Bundesbank.C) Bank of Japan.D) Federal Reserve System.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking3) While legislation enacted in 1998 granted the Bank of Japan new powers and greater autonomy, its critics contend that its independence isA) limited by the Ministry of Finance's veto power over a portion of its budget.B) too great because it need not pursue a policy of price stability even if that is the popular will of the people.C) too great since the Ministry of Finance no longer has veto power over the bank's budget.D) limited since the Ministry of Finance can dismiss senior bank officials.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking4) Regarding central bank independenceA) the Fed is more independent than the European Central Bank.B) the European Central Bank is more independent than the Fed.C) the trend in industrialized nations has been to reduce central bank independence.D) the Bank of England has the longest tradition of independence of any central bank in the world.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking5) The trend in recent years is that more and more governmentsA) have been granting greater independence to their central banks.B) have been reducing the independence of their central banks to make them more accountable for poor economic performance.C) have mandated that their central banks focus on controlling inflation.D) have required their central banks to cooperate more with their Ministers of Finance.

Funds are pulled out of the country and domestic currency is sold leading to a decline in the value of the domestic currency. Speculators will once again seize the opportunity.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking。

货币金融学课后习题答案

第一章课后习题答案一、关键词1.货币(money;currency)从商品中分离出来固定地充当一般等价物的商品。

现代货币:是指以某一权力机构为依托,在一定时期一定地域内推行的一种可以执行交换媒介、价值尺度、延期支付标准及作为完全流动的财富的储藏手段等功能的凭证。

一般可以分为纸凭证及电子凭证,就是人们常说的纸币及电子货币。

2.信用货币(credit money)由国家法律规定的,强制流通不以任何贵金属为基础的独立发挥货币职能的货币。

目前世界各国发行的货币,基本都属于信用货币。

3.货币职能(monetary functions)货币本质所决定的内在功能。

货币的职能主要包括了价值尺度、流通手段、贮藏手段、支付手段和国际货币这五大职能。

4.货币层次(monetary levels)货币层次的划分:M1=现金+活期存款;M2=M1+储蓄存款+定期存款;M3=M2+其他所有存款;M4=M3+短期流动性金融资产。

这样划分的依据是货币的流动性。

5.流动性(liquidity)资产能够以一个合理的价格顺利变现的能力,它是一种所投资的时间尺度(卖出它所需多长时间)和价格尺度(与公平市场价格相比的折扣)之间的关系。

6.货币制度(monetary system)国家对货币的有关要素、货币流通的组织与管理等加以规定所形成的制度,完善的货币制度能够保证货币和货币流通的稳定,保障货币正常发挥各项职能。

二、重要概念1.价值形式商品的价值表现形式。

商品的价值不能自我表现,必须在两种商品的交换中通过另一种商品表现出来。

2.一般等价物从商品中分离出来的充当其它一切商品的统一价值表现材料的商品,它的出现,是商品生产和交换发展的必然结果。

3.银行券由银行(尤指中央银行)发行的一种票据,俗称钞票。

早期银行券由商业银行分散发行,代替金属货币流通,通过与金属货币的兑现维持其价值。

中央银行产生以后,银行券由中央银行垄断发行,金属货币制度崩溃后,银行券成为不兑现的纸制信用货币。

《货币金融学》课后习题参考答案

《货币金融学》课后习题参考答案

《货币金融学》课后习题参考答案第一章货币与货币制度1.解释下列概念:狭义货币、广义货币、准货币、实物货币、格雷欣法则(1)狭义货币,通常由现金和活期存款组成。

这里的现金是指流通中的通货。

活期存款,在国外是指全部的活期存款,在我国只包括支票类和信用类活期存款。

狭义货币是现实购买力的代表,是各国货币政策调控的主要对象。

(2)广义货币,通常由现金、活期存款、储蓄存款、定期存款及某些短期流动性金融资产组成。

这里的短期流动性金融资产是指那些人们接受程度较高的可在一定程度上执行货币某些职能的信用工具,如商业票据、可转让存单、国库券、金融债券、保险单、契约等。

广义货币扩大了货币的范围,包括了一切可能成为现实购买力的货币形式。

对于研究货币流通整体状况和对未来货币流通的预测都有独特作用。

(3)准货币,也称亚货币。

一般将广义货币口径中除狭义货币以外的部分称为准货币或亚货币。

包括活期存款、储蓄存款、定期存款及某些短期流动性金融资产组成。

这里的短期流动性金融资产是指那些人们接受程度较高的可在一定程度上执行货币某些职能的信用工具,如商业票据、可转让存单、国库券、金融债券、保险单、契约等。

准货币本身虽非真正的货币,但由于它们在经过一定的手续后,能比较容易地转化为现实的购买力,加大流通中的货币供应量。

所以,也称为近似货币。

(4)实物货币,是指以自然界存在的某种物品或人们生产出来的某种物品来充当的货币。

最初的实物货币形式五花八门,各地、各国和各个时期各不相同。

例如,在中国历史上,充当过实物货币的物品种类就有:龟壳、海贝、布匹、农具、耕牛等。

实物货币的缺点在于:不易分割和保存、不便携带,而且价值不稳定,很难满足商品交换的需要。

所以,它不是理想的货币形式,随后被金属货币所取代。

2.如何理解货币的定义?它与日常生活中的通货、财富和收入概念有何不同?答:(1)货币是日常生活中人们经常使用的一个词,它的涵义丰富,在不同的场合有不同的意义。

西方不少国家的银行对企业的活期存款也往往不支付利息,但存款者可以享受银行的有关服务和取得贷款的某些权利,实际上还是隐含有利息的。

2.简述民间信用的特点及其在我国经济中的地位。

答:从1979年我国经济改革与开放政策开始执行直至今天,特别是农村地区,民间借贷相当活跃,而且利率较高。

但其产生基础并非全是迫于丧葬嫁娶、天灾人祸乃至赌博挥霍之类的紧急需要,有相当大的部分是为了解决经营方面的资金需要。

改革开放为私人的经营活动提供了极大的余地。

他们极其需要货币资金,而高的投资回报又使其有可能支付高水平的利息;换言之,这里的高利率并未达到阻碍经营活动发展的水平。

在相当大的程度上具有高利贷性质的民间借贷,之所以活跃,是由于现代的信用体系尚不足以满足经济生活中的借贷需求。

面对这种情况,显然不应简单排斥、禁止,而应采取积极的方针。

3.为什么说现代经济是信用经济?答:现代经济可以称之为“信用经济”,理由是债权债务关系无所不在,相互交织,形成网络,覆盖着整个经济生活。

对于企业经营单位,时时有借入与贷出。

政府,几乎没有不发行债券的,而各国政府对外国政府,有时是既借债又放债。

个人同样是如此。

就我国来说,如果银行不办理储蓄业务,那将是不可想象的。

Everything else held constant and using the ISLM model, the net effect would cause the________ curve to ________ and output will ________.A) IS; shift left; decreaseB) IS; shift right; increaseC) LM; shift right; increaseD) LM; shift left; decreaseAnswer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Analytical Thinking17) Using the ISLM model, explain the effects of a monetary expansion combined with a fiscal contraction. How do the equilibrium level of output and interest rate change?Answer: The monetary expansion shifts the LM curve to the right which by itself would cause the interest rate to decrease and aggregate output to increase. The fiscal contraction shifts the IS curve to the left which by itself would cause the interest rate to decrease and aggregate output to decrease. Therefore, the equilibrium interest rate unambiguously falls, while the effect on output is indeterminate.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking18) Using the ISLM model, show graphically and explain the effects of a monetary contraction. What is the effect on the equilibrium interest rate and level of output?Answer: See figure below.The monetary contraction shifts the LM curve to the left. The result is that the equilibrium level of output falls and the equilibrium interest rate increases.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking27.5 Effectiveness Of Monetary Versus Fiscal Policy1) If the quantity of money demanded is not affected by changes in the interest rate, the LM curve is ________ and fiscal policy will be ________.A) horizontal; very effectiveB) horizontal; ineffectiveC) vertical; ineffectiveD) vertical; very effectiveAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) The LM curve will be vertical and fiscal policy ineffective whenA) the demand for money is unaffected by changes in the interest rate.B) the demand for money is unaffected by changes in income.C) investment is unaffected by changes in the interest rate.D) investment is unaffected by changes in income.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking3) The situation in which expansionary fiscal policy does not lead to a rise in aggregate output is referred to asA) fiscal neutrality.B) a recession.C) complete crowding out.D) inflation.Answer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking4) Crowding out will be more pronounced the closer to vertical is theA) IS curve.B) LM curve.C) consumption function.D) aggregate demand function.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking5) The less interest-sensitive is money demand, theA) more effective is fiscal policy relative to monetary policy.B) more effective is monetary policy relative to fiscal policy.C) steeper is the IS curve.D) flatter is the LM curve.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking6) The more interest-sensitive is money demand, theA) more effective is fiscal policy relative to monetary policy.B) more effective is monetary policy relative to fiscal policy.C) steeper is the IS curve.D) steeper is the LM curve.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking7) If the economy is characterized by a certain and stable LM curve, then ________ target produces ________ fluctuations in aggregate output.A) an interest rate; smallerB) a money supply; smallerC) a money supply; largerD) an exchange rate; largerAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking8) If the economy is characterized by a stable IS curve and an unstable LM curve, then ________ target produces ________ fluctuations in aggregate output.A) an interest rate; largerB) a money supply; smallerC) a money supply; largerD) an exchange rate; smallerAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking9) If the ________ curve is relatively more unstable than the ________ curve, a money supply target is preferred.A) IS; ISB) IS; LMC) LM; ISD) LM; LMAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking10) If the ________ curve is relatively more unstable than the ________ curve, an interest rate target is preferred.A) IS; ISB) IS; LMC) LM; ISD) LM; LMAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking11) If the Fed adopts a policy of pegging the interest rate, a ________ in government spending forces the Fed to increase the money supply to prevent interest rates from ________.A) fall; increasingB) fall; decreasingC) rise; decreasingD) rise; increasingAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking12) Using the ISLM model, explain and show graphically the effect of a fiscal expansion when the demand for money is completely insensitive to changes in the interest rate. What is this effect called?Answer: See figure below.This is the total crowding out effect. The LM curve is vertical, so any shift of the IS curve affects only interest rates. The level of output is constant. The fiscal expansion shifts the IS curve rightward, increasing the interest rate.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking13) Show graphically and explain why targeting an interest rate is preferable when money demand is unstable and the IS curve is stable.Answer: See figure below.Unstable money demand causes the LM curve to shift between LM' and LM". If the money supply is targeted, output fluctuates between Y' and Y". With an interest rate target, output remains stable at Y. Since the objective is to minimize output fluctuations, targeting the interest rate is preferable.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking27.6 ISLM Model In The Long Run1) The rate of output at which the price level has no tendency to rise or fall is called theA) natural rate of output.B) potential level of income.C) bliss point.D) efficient level of output.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, as long as the level of output ________ the natural rate level, the price level will continue to ________, shifting the LM curve to the ________, until finally output is back at the natural rate level.A) exceeds; rise; rightB) exceeds; rise; leftC) remains below; fall; leftD) remains below; rise; rightAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Analytical Thinking3) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, as long as the level of output ________ the natural rate level, the price level will continue to ________, shifting the LM curve to the ________, until finally output is back at the natural rate level.A) exceeds; rise; rightB) exceeds; fall; leftC) remains below; fall; rightD) remains below; rise; leftAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Analytical Thinking4) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, an increase in the money supply leaves the level of output and interest rates unchanged, an outcome calledA) interest rate overshooting.B) long-run money neutrality.C) long-run crowding out.D) the long-run Phillips curve.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinkingexpansionary monetary policy is toA) increase real output and the interest rate.B) not change either real output or the interest rate.C) increase real output and leave the interest rate unchanged.D) increase the interest rate and leave real output unchanged.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking6) The long-run neutrality of money refers to the fact that in the long run, monetary policyA) changes only real output.B) changes only the real interest rate.C) changes both real output and the real interest rate.D) has no effect on either real output or the real interest rate.Answer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking7) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of an expansionary fiscal policy is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) not change; not changeC) increase; not changeD) not change; increaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking8) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of a contractionary fiscal policy is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) not change; not changeB) decrease; decreaseC) decrease; not changeD) not change; decreaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinkingcut in government spending is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking10) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of a tax cut is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking11) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of an autonomous increase in investment is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking12) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of a fall in net exports is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking。

货币金融学课后答案解析米什金(2)

货币金融学课后答案解析米什金(2)

货币金融学课后答案解析米什金(2)货币金融学课后答案1、假如我今天以5000美元购买一辆汽车,明年我就可以赚取10000额外收入,因为拥有了这辆车,我就可以成为推销员。

假如没有人愿意贷款给我,我是否应该从放高利贷者拉利处以90%的利率贷款呢?你能否列出高利贷合法的依据?我应该去找高利贷款,因为这样做的结果会更好。

我支付的利息是4500(90%×5000),但实际上,我赚了10000美元,所以我最后赚得了5500美元。

因为拉利的高利贷会使一些人的结果更好,所以高利贷会产生一些社会效益。

(一个反对高利贷的观点认为它常常会造成一种暴利活动)。

2、“在没有信息和交易成本的世界里,不会有金融中介机构的存在。

”这种说法是正确的、错误的还是不确定?说明你的理由。

正确。

如果没有信息和交易成本,人们相互贷款将无成本无代价进行交易,因此金融机构就没有存在的必要了。

3、风险分担是如何让金融中介机构和私人投资都从中获益的?风险分担是指金融中介机构所设计和提供的资产品种的风险在投资者所承认的范围之内,之后,金融中介机构将销售这些资产所获取的资产去购买风险大得多的资产。

低交易成本允许金融中介机构以较低的成本进行风险分担,使得它们能够获取风险资产的收益与出售资产的成本间的差额,这也是金融中介机构的利润。

对投资者而言,金融资产被转化为安全性更高的资产,减少了其面临的风险。

4、在美国,货币是否在20世纪50年代比70年代能更好地发挥价值储藏的功能?为什么?在哪一个时期你更愿意持有货币?在美国,货币作为一种价值储藏手段,在20世纪50年代比70年代好。

因为50年代比70年代通货膨胀率更低,货币贬值的贬值程度也较低。

货币作为价值储藏手段的优劣取决于物价水平,因为货币价值依赖于价格水平。

在通货膨胀时期,物价水平迅速上升,货币也急速贬值,人们也就不愿意以这种形式来持有财富。

因此,人们在物价水平比较稳定的时期更愿意持有货币。

5、为什么有些经济学家将恶性通货膨胀期间的货币称做“烫手的山芋”,在人们手中快速传递?在恶性通货膨胀期间,货币贬值速度非常快,所以人们希望持有货币的时间越短越好,因此此时的货币就像一个烫手的山芋快速的从一个人手里传到另一个人手里。
