Question 1: Short answer questions

1.Analyze the following statement, and show what would happen in the long run if such advice were followed by the Fed: "The increase in the stock market has increased people's wealth. As a result, their consumption has increased, increasing aggregate demand and output. So the Fed needs to increase the money supply, since with higher income, people's demand for real money balances will be higher."

2.For constant output, if the real money supply exceeds the real quantity of money demanded, what will happen to the real interest rate that clears the asset market? In describing the adjustment of the real interest rate, use the relationship that exists between the price of a nonmonetary asset and the interest rate that it pays.
