a) Banks must hold reserves. Why?
b) What are excess reserves?
c) How are excess reserves calculated?
d) What is the significance of excess reserves?
2) Consider the following statement in the short-run and the long-run: "The quantity theory of money(quantity equation) states than an increase in the money supply will lead to an equiproportionate increase in the price level". Is this true or false? Explain.
3) A book, One World, Ready or Not - The Manic Logic of Global Capitalism, by William Greider, suggests that because of the rapid growth in productivity, output is increasing too fast - too fast, that is, for total demand to keep up. As a result, the economy could collapse as a result of overproduction.

Explain this adjustment process.

b) What is the effect on the unemployment rate and the inflation rate in your nation in the short-run?
c) Economists argue that the economy will automatically self-correct, adjusting to a new long-run equilibrium over time. Clearly explain this adjustment process. (Be sure to explain the adjustment not just state that a curve shifts to restore long-run equilibrium - ensure that this in your own words)
