(2)(12pts)Professor Chen estimates Taiwan's money demand function during
1951-1973 and 1974-1997 respectively and he got
△ln m(t)=0.5△ln y(t)-0.05△ln R(t)+0.3△ln m(t-1)-0.001 1951-1973
△ln m(t)=0.1△ln y(t)-0.3△ln R(t)+0.3△ln m(t-1)-0.0014 1974-1997
where△lm m(t)=ln m(t)-ln m(t-1), m=M1/GDP deflator, y=real GDP (exclude
intermediate transactions), R=90-days T-bill rate.
(a)According to the difference in interest rate elasticities between the two
periods 1951-73 and 1974-97, what is the implication for monetary

a interest-bearing savings account automatically at the beginning of each
month. Suppose that purchases must be made with cash, so you must
withdraw money from the account to pay for purchases. Let the price
level be 1. Denote: Y=beginning of the month nominal income, i=(monthly)
deposit nominal interest rate, δ=transaction costs in nominal terms, Z=
the amount of withdrawal each time. Suppose i=1% monthly, δ=NT$5
What is the monthly optimal number of withdrawals each month? And the
average transaction demand for money each month?
