Suppose there are two types of bonds (one-year bonds and two-year bonds) and that the yield curve is initially upward sloping in period t. Note: For this question assume that: (1 ) expected inflation is zero; and (2 ) the relevant interest rate on the vertical axis of the IS-LM model is the one-year interest rate. Based on our understanding of the IS-LM model, of the yield curve and of financial markets, we know with certainty that an announcement in period t of a partially unexpected future increase in taxes (to be implemented in period t + 1 ) will have which of the following effects?
A) stock prices will increase in period t
B) stock prices will fall in period t
C) the yield curve will become steeper in period t
D) none of the above
Question 2
Which of the following statements is consistent with a given (i.e., fixed) LM curve?
A) A reduction in the interest rate causes investment spending to increase.
B) A reduction in the interest rate causes money demand to decrease.
C) A reduction in the interest rate causes an increase in the money supply.
D) An increase in output causes an increase in demand for goods.
E) An increase in output causes an increase in money demand.
