This Padlet is all about Monetary Policy. You can expect to learn a lot about how it affects you, and what exactly it is from this project. Then at the end hopefully you'll have a better understanding of why money is always changing in value.]]> 2017-04-03 16:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164401987 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402529 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dq7mMort9o&ab_channel=CrashCourse
This video explains monetary policy, and how the fed is always adjusting it behind the scene. It explains it mostly as a time line which gives an interesting view on how monetary policy has been affected over the years. It was cool to learn about how much of an impact Janet Yellen has on monetary policy when i had never heard of her before.]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402529 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402548 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv-uNNkE39I&ab_channel=ACDCLeadership
The linked video here uses great informational visuals and a concise explanation of how monetary policy works compared to fiscal policy. He shows these policies as equations, so that you can grasp how different things can hurt or aid our economy. I find it interesting how he uses math to explain monetary policy.]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402548 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402576 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOfQPn9Jwpo&ab_channel=AtlantaFed
I chose this link because of how simply it explains the monetary policy. The video explains monetary policy with simple language and entertaining visuals to make learning something complicated a lot easier. I found it interesting to learn how the buying/selling of government securities expands/contracts the supply of money in the banking system]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402576 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402611 https://image.slidesharecdn.com/monetaryandfiscalpolicy-150107114557-conversion-gate02/95/monetary-and-fiscal-policy-9-638.jpg?cb=1420652874
Here you can see the 2 types of monetary policy. This photo shows the difference between Expansionary and Contractionary monetary policy.]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402611 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402663 http://www.frbsf.org/education/files/monetary_policy.jpg
I chose this photo because it shows different things involved in monetary policy. It effects all people, and the right decisions need to be made to keep a good, balanced economy]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402663 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402690 http://republicofmandaliaproject.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/4/1/25419705/626676.jpg?366
This photo gives a simple representation of how inflation is a bad thing for our economy. It eats away at the value of our money.]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402690 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402763 http://www.economicsdiscussion.net/money/top-6-objectives-of-monetary-policy/4684
I thought that this site was very informative. It breaks down the objectives of monetary policy into 6 parts. Basically it explains that monetary policy aims to help grow the Canadian economy, and increase the value of our dollar. The 6 objectives are Neutrality of Money, Stability of Exchange rates, Price Stability, Full Employment, Economic Growth, and Equilibrium in the Balance of Payments.]]> 2017-04-03 16:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402763 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402805 http://www.bankofcanada.ca/core-functions/monetary-policy/
This site explains Monetary Policy directly from the Bank of Canada itself. They are the bank in control of monetary policy. This gives an inside opinion about how their own policy works. They describe their main objective as "to preserve the value of money by keeping inflation low, stable and predictable".]]> 2017-04-03 16:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402805 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402839 http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/monetary-policy/
I chose to put this website on here, because it gives a good in depth description (the best i could find) of the different things included in the Monetary Policy. It explains Money Supply, Wider Economic Goals, Limitations, Keynesianism, Monetarism, Low-Inflation Debate, and Central Bank Governors in depth.]]> 2017-04-03 16:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164402839 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164506743 By: Kevin Moulds]]> 2017-04-04 01:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164506743 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512221 The thing that surprised me most about this topic is that the government can do something as simple as buy bonds to inflate our economy. To learn that something so complex as a country can be drastically changed by the exchange of money is crazy to think about.]]> 2017-04-04 02:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512221 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512240 This topic is relevant to me for the same reason it is relevant to every person. The money we spend every day is constantly changing. Knowing why this happens can give us all a better peace of mind. ]]> 2017-04-04 02:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512240 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512255 I found it very interesting to learn about monetary policy because I didn't know the governments role in our economic growth. It is interesting to learn about how our country works.]]> 2017-04-04 02:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512255 aconfinement https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512297 2017-04-04 02:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aconfinement/5na0sz0aiydn/wish/164512297
