The Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy
Central banks throughout the world use a very short-term interest rate as their primary policy tool.
The Federal Reserve conducts monetary policy via its setting of the federal funds rate.
When it provides more reserves, banks have more money to lend to each other, and this excess liquidity causes the
federal funds rate to fall. When the Fed drains reserves from the banking system, banks have less to lend and the
shortage of liquidity leads to a rise in the federal funds rate.
The Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy
The federal funds rate is a nominal interest rate, it is also the real interest rate that affects net exports and
business spending, thereby determining the level of equilibrium output.
How does the Federal Reserve’s control of the federal funds rate enable it to control the real interest rate,
through which monetary policy impacts the economy?
The Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy
Changes in nominal interest rates can change the real interest rate only if actual and expected inflation
remain unchanged in the short run.
Because prices typically are slow to move—that is, they are sticky—changes in monetary policy will not
have an immediate effect on inflation and expected inflation.
When the Federal Reserve lowers the federal funds rate, real interest rates fall; and when the Federal
Reserve raises the federal funds rate, real interest rates rise.
The Monetary Policy Curves
The monetary policy (MP) curveindicates the relationship between the real interest rate the central bank
sets and the inflation rate
The Monetary Policy Curves
An example of a monetary
policy curve MP in which
r= 1.0 and λ= 0.5:
r = 1.0 + 0.5π
The Taylor Principle: Why the Monetary Policy Curve Has an
Upward Slope
To stabilize inflation, monetary policymakers follow the Taylor principle, in which they raise nominal rates by
more than any rise in expected inflation
Real interest rates rise when there is a rise in inflation.
An increase in inflation would lead to a decline in the real interest rate, which would increase aggregate
output, in turn causing inflation to rise further, which would then cause the real interest rate to fall even
more, increasing aggregate output.
Shifts in the MP Curve
The Federal Reserve is said to tighten monetary policy when it raises real interest rates, and to ease it when it lowers real interest rates.
Changes in monetary policy (autonomous changes) => shift the
The Taylor principle–driven changes (which are called automatic
monetary policy curve
adjustments to interest rates) => movements along the monetary
policy curve
Ex: To lower inflation they could increase r by 1%, and so raise the real interest rate at any given inflation rate, what we will refer to as an
autonomous tightening of monetary policy. This autonomous monetary tightening would shift the monetary policy curve upward by 1% from MP1 to
MP2.
Ex: If the economy is going into a recession, monetary policymakers would want to lower real interest rates at any given inflation rate, an
autonomous easing of monetary policy, in order to stimulate the economy and also to prevent inflation from falling. Result in a downward shift in
the MP curve, from MP1 to MP3.
Aggregate demand curve

central banks respond to changes
in inflation with changes in
interest rates.

Description
Panel
Panel (a)
Equation 2, we know that when the inflation rate rises from 1% to 2% to 3%, real interest rates rise
MP curve
from 1.5% to 2% to 2.5%
Panel (b)
Equation 13 of Chapter 20 (Y = 12 - r). As the real interest rate rises from 1.5% to 2% to 2.5%, the
IS curve
equilibrium moves from point 1 to point 2 to point 3 and aggregate output falls from $10.5 trillion to
$10 trillion to $9.5 trillion.
Panel (c)
Inflation rises from 1% to 2% to 3%, the equilibrium moves from point 1 to point 2 to point 3 in panel
AD curve
(c), and aggregate output falls from $10.5 trillion to $10 trillion to $9.5 trillion.
The line that connects the three points in panel (c) is the AD curve
Figure 4: Deriving the AD Curve
The MP curve in panel (a) shows that as inflation rises from 1.0% to 2.0% to 3.0%, the real
interest rate rises from 1.5% to 2.0% to 2.5%.
The IS curve in panel (b) then shows that higher real interest rates lead to lower planned
investment spending, and hence aggregate output falls from $10.5 trillion to $10.0 trillion to
$9.5 trillion.
Finally, panel (c) plots the level of equilibrium output corresponding to each of the three
inflation rates: the line that connects these points is the AD curve, and it is downward sloping
Deriving the aggregate Demand Curve graphically
The AD curve has a downward slope, because a higher inflation rate leads the
1
central bank to raise real interest rates, thereby lowering
planned spending, and hence lowering the level of equilibrium aggregate output
The AD curve can be written numerically as follows:

Y=11-0.5 π (3)

Factors that Shift the aggregate Demand Curve
Shifts in the IS curve
We saw in the previous chapter that six factors cause the IS curve to shift. It turns out that the same factors
cause the aggregate demand curve to shift as well:
1.
Autonomous consumption expenditure
2.
Autonomous investment spending
3.
Government purchases
4.
Taxes
5.
Autonomous net exports
6.
Financial frictions
Shifts in the IS curve
Figure 5 shows that any factor that shifts the IS curve shifts the aggregate demand curve in the same direction.
Therefore, “animal spirits” that encourage a rise in autonomous consumption expenditure or planned investment
spending, a rise in government purchases, an autonomous rise in net exports, a fall in taxes, or a decline in
financial frictions—all of which shift the IS curve to the right—will also shift the aggregate demand curve to the
right.
Conversely, a fall in autonomous consumption expenditure, a fall in planned investment spending, a fall in
government purchases, a fall in net exports, a rise in taxes, or a rise in financial frictions will cause the aggregate
demand curve to shift to the left.
Figure 5: Shift in the AD Curve from Shifts in the IS Curve
At a 2% inflation rate in panel (a), the monetary policy curve indicates that the real
interest rate is 2%. An increase in government purchases shifts the IS curve to the right in panel
(b).
At a given inflation rate and real interest rate of 2.0%, equilibrium output rises from $10
trillion to $12.5 trillion, which is shown as a movement from point A1 to point A2 in panel (c),
shifting the aggregate demand curve to the right from AD1 to AD2. Any factor that shifts the IS
curve shifts the AD curve in the same direction.

DỰ TRỮ BẮT BUỘC
10/2008, FED tiến hành trả lãi suất đối với số dư dự

thanh toán lãi suất dự trữ cho phép FED mở rộng bảng cân
