问题如下:
Neshie Wakuluk is an investment strategist. Exhibit 1 summarizes Wakuluk’s predictions:
Wakuluk decides to focus on Country Y. Wakuluk makes the following observations:
Observation 1 Monetary policy has been persistently loose for Country Y, while fiscal policies have been persistently tight.
Based on Observation 1, fiscal and monetary policies in Country Y will most likely lead to:
选项:
A.low nominal rates.
high nominal rates.
either high or low nominal rates.
解释:
C is correct.
Monetary policy has been persistently loose for Country Y, while fiscal policies have been persistently tight. With this combination of persistently loose and tight policies, the impact could lead to higher or lower nominal rates (typically labeled as mid-nominal rates).
解析:
Y国的货币政策持续宽松(真实利率上升),财政政策持续紧缩(通胀下降)。由于持续的宽松和紧缩政策(货币和财政政策并不一致),其影响可能导致名义利率上升或下降(通常被称为中间名义利率)。
因此只有C选项正确。
请问老师:货币政策宽松,导致利率下降;财政政策收紧,也导致利率下降啊。总的看,利率应该是下降的。这样理解哪里不对呢?
