Essay
These are from the first set of review questions and cover the material we didn't get to for the first exam:
21. Use the supply and demand model for bank reserves to explain and illustrate the effects of (a) an open market operation to buy bonds, (b) a decrease in the discount rate, and (c) an increase in required reserves.
22. Describe the three tools available to the Fed for controlling the money supply. How do defensive and dynamic open-market operations differ? How do primary, seasonal, and secondary credit differ? What are the advantages of open-market operations relative to the other tools?
23. What is meant by the phrase lender of last resort? Why is this important? Explain and show graphically how the Fed uses discount rate policy to act as a lender of last resort and how this serves to limit the amount the federal funds rate can rise.
And here are the rest:
1. Explain the quantity theory of money. Explain the Cambridge approach and illustrate that it leads to the same identity as the quantity theory. What assumptions are imposed to arrive at a theoretical statement?
2. Is velocity a constant in Keynes liquidity preference theory? When actual data is examined, does velocity appear to be a constant? Why is this important?
3. What is the money demand function in the classical model?
4. Discuss the transactions, precautionary, and speculative motives for holding money in Keynes liquidity preference theory. When all three motives are put together, what theory of money demand emerges?
5. Show the money demand curve graphically and explain why it slopes downward. Show how the money demand curve shifts when income increases.
6. According to Baumol, the transactions demand for money depends upon the interest rate as well as nominal income. Explain why the transactions demand for money depends upon the interest rate. Why is this important?
7. What did Tobin add to Keynes theory of the speculative demand for money? Why was this development important?
8. Explain Friedman's Modern Quantity Theory of the Demand for Money.
9. What is the 45 degree line diagram? What is the expenditure multiplier? What is the slope of the expenditure function? What factors cause the expenditure function to shift?
10. Derive the IS curve. Explain intuitively why it slopes downward. What factors cause the IS curve to shift? In what direction do they shift the IS curve?
11. Derive the LM curve. Explain intuitively why it slopes upward. What factors cause the LM curve to shift? In what direction do they shift the LM curve?
12. Is the equilibrium in the IS-LM model stable? Explain.
13. Show graphically and explain intuitively how an increase in government spending affects income and the interest rate in the IS-LM model.
14. Show graphically and explain intuitively how an increase in the money supply affects income and the interest rate in the IS-LM model.
15. Explain why the LM curve is vertical when money demand is unaffected by changes in the interest rate (as in the classical model).
16. Use the IS-LM model to show that monetary policy becomes more effective relative to fiscal policy as money demand becomes less sensitive to the interest rate. Explain the result intuitively.
17. Explain why investment is less sensitive to interest rate changes in recessions as compared to when the economy is operating closer to full employment. Explain why the IS curve is vertical when investment is completely insensitive to changes in the interest rate.
18. Use the IS-LM model to show that fiscal policy becomes more effective relative to monetary policy as investment becomes less sensitive to the interest rate. Explain the result intuitively. What does this imply about the use of monetary and fiscal policy over the business cycle?
19. Show that the Fed cannot continuously hit both a money supply target and an interest rate target, i.e. that it must choose one or the other.
20. Explain Poole's rules.
21. Do changes in the money supply and government spending affect output in the long-run? Explain using the IS-LM model.
[End of material for midterm 2. Question 22, and definitions related to AD-AS, will not be on this test.]
22. Derive the aggregate demand curve from the IS-LM model and explain intuitively why it slopes downward. What factors cause the AD curve to shift? In what direction do they shift the AD curve?

Tim makes a contrarian call on the outcome of the Fed's rate setting meeting:
And So It Begins, by Tim Duy: The Fed begins a two-day meeting today, with market participants widely expecting a rate cut. I am mentally prepared to be on the wrong side of this call, joining the lonely few, but I just can’t tease another rate cut out of the incoming data.
In my mind, the argument for a rate cut hinges on one crucial assumption – that the market is expecting a rate cut, and the Fed will not want to disappoint. From Bloomberg:
''The Fed is reluctant to ease,'' says Louis Crandall, chief economist at Jersey City, New Jersey-based Wrightson ICAP LLC, a unit of ICAP Plc, the world's largest broker for banks and other financial institutions. ''But it also doesn't want to unsettle the financial markets unnecessarily.''
If the Fed fails to ease, so the story goes, they will be blamed for failure to communicate effectively. After all, given their push for transparency, shouldn’t they make an effort to send a signal when the markets are headed in the wrong direction? The problem with this view is that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke does not believe it is his job to lead markets around by the nose like his predecessor. I think under the new regime, the Fed expects their comments to be taken at face value. And I think they are pretty effectively communicating their view on the economy: Outside of housing, there is minimal spillover, and whatever spillover exists is completely expected. From Bernanke on October 15 (italics mine):

Tim Duy is losing sleep:
Runaway Rate Cut Train?, by Tim Duy: I agonize over this stuff. Constantly. And it is not really part of my job. Just can’t get it out of my mind.
It is even more agonizing when expectation flip-flop so strongly, from rate cut to no rate cut back to rate cut certainty. From the Cleveland Fed:
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s speech kicked off a shift in expectations, reinforced by additional Fed speakers. The ongoing risk management theme was reiterated by new Chicago Fed President Charles Evans:
To me, the uncertainties about how financial conditions might evolve and affect the real economy mean that risk management considerations have an important role in the current policy environment…However, there is a less benign possibility. Housing demand and prices could weaken a good deal more than we expect — either because a new shock hits the sector or because we have underestimated the weakness already in train….
I want to emphasize that I do not see this extreme outcome as likely. But it is one of those high cost outcomes that we should guard against. The challenge is to calibrate the insurance in light of the lower probability of the spillover event occurring.
The upshot of such speeches has been to entrench expectations that as long as housing is deteriorating, the downside risks to the economy are too great to be ignored, and therefore rate cuts will continue regardless of the relatively minimal impact the housing downturn has had on the rest of the economy. Still unsteady credit markets argue further for additional cutting.

This is a speech by Ben Bernanke on conducting monetary policy in the presence of uncertainty of various types (Bill Poole is president of the St. Louis Fed, we will learn about "Pooles Rules" for conducting monetary policy later in the course):
Monetary Policy under Uncertainty, by Ben Bernanke: Bill Poole's career in the Federal Reserve System spans two decades separated by a quarter of a century. From 1964 to 1974 Bill was an economist on the staff of the Board's Division of Research and Statistics. He then left to join the economics faculty at Brown University, where he stayed for nearly twenty-five years. Bill rejoined the Fed in 1998 as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, so he is now approaching the completion of his second decade in the System.
As it happens, each of Bill's two decades in the System was a time of considerable research and analysis on the issue of how economic uncertainty affects the making of monetary policy, a topic on which Bill has written and spoken many times. I would like to compare the state of knowledge on this topic during Bill's first decade in the System with what we have learned during his most recent decade of service. The exercise is interesting in its own right and has the added benefit of giving me the opportunity to highlight Bill's seminal contributions in this line of research.

This is from the WSJ. It's about whether Fed policy encourages excessive risk-taking [discussion of Koenig version of Taylor rule discussed below]:
Fed Policy and Moral Hazard, by Harvey Rosenblum, WSJ: Accusations of moral hazard have been tossed around quite a bit since the Federal Reserve lowered the federal-funds rate by half a percentage point a month ago today. Moral hazard, if you're neither an actuary nor a practitioner of the "dismal science," occurs when investors or property owners are protected from the downside risks of bad investment decisions, thus encouraging them to take still more unwise risks in the future.
As entertaining as this discussion of the nexus between the Federal Reserve and moral hazard has been, the analysis is incomplete because it lacks one key element -- something called the Taylor Rule. The namesake of this bit of economic wisdom is John Taylor, perhaps the best scholar on monetary policy in our times. His rule, a description of monetary policy decision-making formulated a decade and a half ago, has a good deal of relevance to any discussion of Fed policy and moral hazard.
So what exactly is Taylor's Rule? Put simply, it prescribes higher interest rates when inflation crosses certain thresholds and the economy is near full employment; and lower rates when the opposite is true. When these goals are in conflict the Rule provides guidance on how to adjust rates accordingly.
But before we get to why Mr. Taylor's work matters, we've got to better understand moral hazard, which, as Mr. Bernanke defined it in a textbook he coauthored, is "the tendency of people to expend less effort protecting those goods that are insured against theft and damage."
Why has moral hazard reared its head after the Federal Open Market Committee cut interest rates at a time of turmoil and uncertainty in financial markets?

John Berry says there may be hopeful news on the subprime crisis:
There May Be an Out for Some Subprime Borrowers, by John M. Berry, Bloomberg: The subprime mortgage market is largely a mystery to most of the public, and to many of the public officials trying to find ways to mitigate the damage done to borrowers caught up in it. ...
Helping owners already faced with the possibility of foreclosure requires knowing how the problems developed, which is why Eric S. Rosengren, president of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, initiated a project to gather data on the subprime market in New England and what has happened to the people who used such mortgages. ...
What the Boston Fed researchers have found so far has convinced Rosengren that many of the troubled homeowners may qualify for a prime loan that could be profitable for community banks in the region if they are willing to go after the business. ...

1. The market is split between holding the federal funds rate at 4.75%, and cutting another quarter to 4.50% when the FOMC meets on October 30 and 31 [source]:
2. Estimating Potential Output
This is a very nice summary of how economists measure the economy's maximum sustainable level of output from Mishkin.
The term "maximum sustainable level of output" is a better description of what we are trying to measure than the more common terms such "potential output" or "full employment." Let me try an example to illustrate. For a graduate student, over the course of an entire quarter, there is a certain maximum sustainable level of effort. It might be, say, 14 hours of class and study per day on average. That is "full employment" or "potential output." But in the short-run it's possible to exceed that level of output. Right before a test students can work 20+ hours a day, more than full employment, but such a level of output is not sustainable over the longer run. People need a minimum level of sleep, time to eat, etc. So, potential output for students is the level of effort that is sustainable day after day after day, not the most that can be accomplished in a given 24 hour time period.
A business can do the same thing. If it has 10% of its trucks off the road for maintenance at any given time (i.e. "sleeping"), it can keep those on the road when demand is really high to deliver a little extra, keep workers overtime, run the production lines 24 hours a day without maintenance, etc. But that kind of effort, though possible in short bursts, is not sustainable over the longer haul (with the existing level of resources). Trucks and production lines have to be taken down for maintenance every so often or there will be big problems down the road, people won't work long days continuously, etc. Here, too, when we talk about potential output we don't mean how much the economy can produce in the short-run when it's overheated (sort of like just before an exam), but rather what it can do on a sustainable basis over time with a given quantity of inputs.
More formally, then, we can define potential output as the level of output the economy would produce if labor and all other resources are fully and efficiently employed, where full employment means the maximum sustainable level of activity.
But how do we actually measure potential output? Here' Frederic Mishkin with the details on three different approaches. It's not easy:
Estimating Potential Output, by Governor Frederic S. Mishkin, Federal Reserve: This conference focuses on measurement issues, and in my remarks I want to focus on one of the most important measurement issues that we at the Federal Reserve and other central banks face: How do we determine whether the economy is operating above or below its maximum sustainable level? That is, how do we estimate the path of potential output?1

(May, 1993), pp. 151-162 (the link will work on UO net, but I don't expect you to read the paper as it is a bit technical):
This has changed with the adoption of inflation targeting by central banks. Note also that Adam Posen casts doubt on whether causality runs from central bank independence to improved macroeconomic performance in Central Bank Independence and Disinflationary Credibility: A Missing Link?, NY Fed Staff Report, May 1995.

On global finance:
Financial Globalization's New Power Source, by David Wessel, WSJ: In the blizzard of headlines about borrowing by private-equity firms, rising oil prices and accumulating hoards of cash at Asian central banks, it's hard to tell if this is part of the same old story of money sloshing around the globe, or if something big is happening.
Pension funds, mutual funds and insurers still hold a bigger chunk of the world's financial assets ($59.4 trillion) than more recent pools of capital. But four newcomers are gaining rapidly: Asian central banks, hedge funds, private-equity funds and petrodollar investors, the ones pocketing the proceeds from $80-a-barrel oil.
Together the four hold $8.4 trillion, excluding overlap, roughly $1 of every $20 in the global financial system. Their assets have tripled since 2000.
Even if oil prices fall back to $50 a barrel, China's giant trade surplus shrinks and growth in private-equity and hedge funds slows, McKinsey Global Institute, the think-tank arm of the big consulting firm, projects the assets of these Big Four will double by 2012.
Their rise amounts to a new phase in the globalization of financial markets. They are one important way in which economic earthquakes spread from one country to another. Europe's economy is shuddering not because the U.S. is importing fewer Mercedes or bottles of French wine, but because financial shock waves from defaults on subprime mortgages in Detroit are jolting banks in Düsseldorf.
"The new power brokers represent a structural shift in global capital markets," McKinsey says in a 174-page analysis out today. Their growth, the analysts add, is "mutually reinforcing" as oil barons put their petrodollars in hedge funds, and so on.
How big is big? The carefully researched report, "The New Power Brokers," is studded with morsels like these:
