Monetary Policy Practice

Move the money supply in the money market and watch the interest rate settle where money demand meets it. Then answer five exam-style questions on open market operations, the interest-rate channel, and the liquidity trap.

One tile of the full monetary policy unit.

The course teaches monetary policy interactively — drag the graphs, practice with feedback, and spaced reviews bring it back before you forget. Free.
