• Money and the Prices in the Long Run and Open
  Economies
• Purpose of Assignment
• Week 3 will help students develop an
  understanding of what money is, what forms money
  takes, how the banking system helps create money,
  and how the Federal Reserve controls the quantity
  of money. Students will learn how the quantity of
  money affects inflation and interest rates in the
  long run, and production and employment in the
  short run. Students will find that, in the long
  run, there is a strong relationship between the
  growth rate of money and inflation. Students will
  review the basic concepts macroeconomists use to
  study open economies and will address why a
  nation's net exports must equal its net capital
  outflow. Students will demonstrate the
  relationship between the prices and quantities in
  the market for loanable funds and the prices and
  quantities in the market for foreign-currency
  exchange. Student will learn to analyze the
  impact of a variety of government policies on an
  economy's exchange rate and trade balance.
