Q

解释money neutrality

A

MV = PY

1.M供给量的增长导致P价格水平同比例增长,

不影响总产出和换手速度 (认为是恒定的)

  1. monetarists 据此认为可通过控制货币供应量来控制物价和通胀水平
  2. 长期来看,货币中性是正确的(千克的例子),货币量不决定产出水平,只影响价格水平,但短期会影响产出,因此现实中的货币政策也是看重短期效应

Q

货币政策的局限性

A

1.传导机制失灵 (债券市场巡视员)

货币政策只能影响短期利率,而真正影响实体经济的是长期利率。通过短期利率传导至长期利率的过程不确定(如:央行认为有通胀压力,释放流动性,推高短期利率,意在推高长期利率减少经济活动,但债券市场认为短期利率太高了,expectation导致长期利率不升反降,刺激经济活动,得到相反结果)

  1. 通缩时期 (流动性陷阱)

解决方式:量化宽松

G+B-T

B: transfer payment

25
Q

边际消费倾向越高,税率越低,乘数效应越大

26
Q

推导

A

平衡预算乘数

政府增加税收来平衡增加的开支

增加开支带动的总需求增加

大于

增加税收带来的总需求减少(要乘以c)

减税部分*MPC*fiscal multiplier

fiscal policy

A
  1. lags (recognition, action, impact)
  2. crowding out effect (挤出投资,抬高利率)
  3. Ricardian Equivalence

  5. full imployment and inflation target不能同时
  6. full employment hard to identify
28
Q

explain

Ricardo equivalence

A

政府通过借债来增加赤字,相当于未来的税收。居民预计到未来税收增加,现阶段就会减少消费, 使财政政策对Y的影响不如预期

(若居民没有认识到,消费减少有限,则Y还是会增加)

29
Q

against gov deficit

argument

A
  1. higher future taxes - 生产积极性下降
  2. higher inflation (印钞解决债务攀升)
  3. 挤出效应
30
Q

pro deficit

arguments

A
  1. 债务由居民部门承担,那实现李嘉图等价即可
  2. 债务用于投资企业或human capital,那未来经济增长高于interest rate就可
  3. 赤字会推动税收改革
