| ConcerNinE | I don't understand why the nominal interest rate is 0 in this case. Could someone help me ? |
| Corey678 | @ConcerNinE . I think its saying: "What should the Fed do in a liquidity trap situation"? Economics states low rates= higher supply of money so the Fed is trying to raise money supply/increase money velocity/positively spike demand by cutting rates to 0 (i.e. low rate) and increase liquidity. But the trap is reducing the effectiveness of the monetary policy implemented by the fed. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
