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(通胀上升),财政政策持续紧缩(真实利率下降)。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。
因为何老师的基础班与强化班课程都画了一幅business cycle phase的阶段图
【譬如,基础班视频CME - Phases of Business Cycle(02),2分20秒】
这幅图把slowdown放到了peak之后,也就是右边。
但教材和精讲讲义都说,在slowdown阶段,“The economy is slowing and approaching the eventual peak”,这个approaching意味着应该出现peak的左边才是。
请问该怎么理解?
