A) setting the overnight interest rate
B) buying and selling bonds in open market operations
C) changing the tax rate to influence aggregate demand
D) changing the exchange rate to influence aggregate demand
Answer: A
Diff: 2 Type: MC
Skill: Recall
Objective: 22.1 Recognize the impact of changes in the nominal overnight interest rate on short-
term real interest rates
2) The Bank of Canada controls the overnight rate by ________.

A) varying the settlement balances it provides to the banking system
B) dictating terms of the LVTS
C) managing government savings
D) borrowing from the provincial government
Answer: A
Diff: 2 Type: MC

4) Because prices are sticky in the short-run, when the Bank of Canada raises the overnight
rate, ________.
A) nominal interest rates fall
B) real interest rates rise
C) inflation falls
D) real interest rates fall
Answer: B
Diff: 2 Type: MC
Skill: Recall
5) Explain the relationship between Bank of Canada's overnight rate and the real interest rate.
Answer: Because prices are stickychanges in monetary policy will not have an immediate
effect on inflation and expected inflation. As a result, when the Bank of Canada lowers the
overnight interest rate, real interest rates fall; and when the Bank of Canada raises the overnight
rate, real interest rates rise.
Diff: 2 Type: ES
Skill: Recall
6) Explain the relationship between real and nominal interest rates when inflation is expected to
remain unchanged in the short run.
Answer: The Fisher equation states that real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus
expected inflation. If there is no change in expected inflation, then over the short run, the real
and nominal rates will be the same.

60) Using the IS - MP 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.

Skill: Recall
61) List the six factors that cause both the IS and the aggregate demand curve to shift.
Answer:
1. Autonomous consumption expenditure
2. Autonomous investment spending
3. Government purchases
4. Taxes
5. Autonomous net exports
6. Financial frictions.
Diff: 2 Type: ES
Skill: Recall
62) How does autonomous tightening of monetary policy impact the aggregate demand curve.
Answer: A rise in the real interest rate at any given inflation, shifts the monetary policy curve
upward. The higher interest rates leads to lower output due to a decline in investment and net
exports which lowers aggregate output and therefore the aggregate demand curve to the left.
Diff: 2 Type: ES
Skill: Recall
63) Describe the relationship between the IS and MP curves and the aggregate demand curve.
Answer: Any factor that shifts the IS curve shifts the aggregate demand curve in the same
direction. When the MP curve shifts up, the aggregate demand curve shifts left; when the MP
curve shifts down the aggregate demand curve shifts right.
