Wallace assume that markets clear, and by equating the money demand and supply, mtD =mtS, the interest rate can be determined as a function of prices and output, since pt + yt - Rt = η(yt-1 –y*) +t ----------------------------------------------- (2.16) Hence, Rt =1/ {η (yt-1 –y*) +t –pt – yt} ------------------------------- (2.17) Equating the aggregate demand and aggregate supply, ytS =ytD,…

author will depict current supply and demand, with imposed quota. Q uotas are comparable to tariffs; each raises prices and the reduces imports, but the loss of revenue for the government from tariffs is most likely different . Figure 3 depicts supply/demand with a quota. The quota is from 20 - 40 units, which means that domestic supply is from 0 - 10 un its and 40 - 70 units, making up the difference of the shifted supply curve. Figure 4…
