Answer to Question 1

i) The long-run expected real interest rate can be obtained by subtracting the long-run expected inflation rate from the long-run nominal interest rate. Therefore, long-run expected real interest rate in this case is 4.5 - 3 = 1.5.
ii) If the central bank of Techland starts purchasing government bonds from private banks, the supply of reserves will increase. This will lead to a fall in the cost of borrowing funds for private banks. As a result, they will be able to make more loans. This will lead to a decrease in the long-run nominal interest rate. If the long-run expected inflation rate remains unchanged, the long-run expected real interest rate will fall.

Answer to Question 2

A
