lower interest rates..
Short supply generally results in price increase.
The Answer is B) Steady and predictable changes in the money supply.
If the Federal Reserve is a net seller of government bonds, what happens to the: • Money supply- A reduction in the money supply will increase short-term rates. • Interest rate- To the extent that the bond markets see this continuing, it will also reduce long term rates, which are based on the market's expectations of future inflation. • Economy- it drains money from the system
The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States and therefore is responsible for monetary policy. Monetary policy dictates the money supply which is available to an economy. During economic recessions, a central government may choose to increase the money supply and lower interest rates. However, during an economic boom, a central bank may decide to decrease the money supply and raise interest rates. The Fed accomplishes this task in several ways. It may increase the required reserve ratio for banks, which decreases the available money to lend and also decrease the money supply. Also, the Fed may increase the discount rate, which is the rate which it charges banks for short-term liquidity loans. The most effective tool however, is the open market operations. The Fed may choose to sell Treasury bonds in order to remove money from the economy and therefore increase interest rates since there is now a greater demand for the given amount of funds in the economy.
To best understand this it is advisable to familiarise yourself with the AA-DD framework. In the short run, an increase in the money supply will push the interest rate down as money demand fluctuations alter people's desire for liquid assets and thus the prices and rates of return on bonds. In an open economy where interest parity between countries must be preserved the exchange rate will increase (currency depreciation) in order to create the expectation that it will fall faster in the future. This increase in the exchange rate makes domestic goods more attractive, thus increasing both foreign and domestic demand for domestically produced goods. This then encourages output growth. In the long run it will depend on whether the money supply increase is deemed to be permanent or temporary. Unless the change is permanent effects in the long run will not be felt. If the change IS permanent, the following will happen: - As money supply increases, the short run effects described above will mean that output is pushed above its natural level. - However, as output is above its natural level, this means that workers and machines are working overtime (AA curve shifts right) - This increases firms costs as workers demand higher wages, machines need more maintenance etc... - As costs increase, so do prices - With prices increasing, aggregate demand is pressured downwards (DD curve shifts left) - As prices increase in the long run, the real money supply is also reduced over time (AA curve shifts back left) - As long as the AA and DD curves do not intersect at the equilibrium level of output (natural level) then price changes will push them that way. It is interesting to note the behaviour of the exchange rate here. In the short run it increases due to an increase in the money supply, but then it decreases in the long run as the real money supply is reduced by price increases over time. However it will not go back to its original level. It will be higher by the same percentage as the money supply has been increased by. I hope this answers your question! T

In the short run, there would be oversupply.
The money supply is commonly defined to be a group of safe assets that households and businesses can use to make payments or to hold as short-term investments. For example, U.S. currency and balances held in checking accounts and savings accounts are included in many measures of the money supply.
Aggregate supply is a measure of the total goods and services produced by an economy at various price levels, either in the short run or in the long run. Short run aggregate supply curve is assumed to be upward sloping. Higher prices for goods and services means more profit for suppliers, so they will produce more goods and services. Long run aggregate supply curve is assumed to be vertical. Short run aggregate supply curve is curved because prices can change. A change in the price level means a movement along the short run aggregate supply curve. An increase in costs results in a fall in aggregate supply because the output is less at every price level. A decrease in costs results in a rise in aggregate supply because the output is more at every price level. In the long run, the aggregate supply is assumed to be independent of price level. In other words, the economy is at the maximum output possible. Full employment level has been reached and real GDP has reached its maximum potential, so the long run aggregate supply curve must be drawn as vertical. Increases in the quality and number of factors of production will cause the productivity of the suppliers to increase, and the long run aggregate supply will shift right.
The short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal if the economy is operating below full capacity, meaning there are unused resources like labor and capital. This indicates that firms can increase production without raising prices, resulting in a flat supply curve.
wages and raw material effect short run aggregate supply because of productivity factor but money is neutral in the long run so will never effect long run
In short supply means that there is not much of whatever it is.
