货币金融学课后答案米什金第一篇：货币金融学课后答案米什金货币金融学货币金融学课后答案1、假如我今天以5000美元购买一辆汽车，明年我就可以赚取10000额外收入，因为拥有了这辆车，我就可以成为推销员。
假如没有人愿意贷款给我，我是否应该从放高利贷者拉利处以90%的利率贷款呢？你能否列出高利贷合法的依据？我应该去找高利贷款，因为这样做的结果会更好。
我支付的利息是4500（90%×5000）,但实际上，我赚了10000美元，所以我最后赚得了5500美元。
因为拉利的高利贷会使一些人的结果更好，所以高利贷会产生一些社会效益。
（一个反对高利贷的观点认为它常常会造成一种暴利活动）。
2、“在没有信息和交易成本的世界里，不会有金融中介机构的存在。
”这种说法是正确的、错误的还是不确定？说明你的理由。
正确。
如果没有信息和交易成本，人们相互贷款将无成本无代价进行交易，因此金融机构就没有存在的必要了。
3、风险分担是如何让金融中介机构和私人投资都从中获益的？风险分担是指金融中介机构所设计和提供的资产品种的风险在投资者所承认的范围之内，之后，金融中介机构将销售这些资产所获取的资产去购买风险大得多的资产。
低交易成本允许金融中介机构以较低的成本进行风险分担，使得它们能够获取风险资产的收益与出售资产的成本间的差额，这也是金融中介机构的利润。
对投资者而言，金融资产被转化为安全性更高的资产，减少了其面临的风险。
4、在美国，货币是否在20世纪50年代比70年代能更好地发挥价值储藏的功能？为什么？在哪一个时期你更愿意持有货币？在美国，货币作为一种价值储藏手段，在20世纪50年代比70年代好。
因为50年代比70年代通货膨胀率更低，货币贬值的贬值程度也较低。
货币作为价值储藏手段的优劣取决于物价水平，因为货币价值依赖于价格水平。
在通货膨胀时期，物价水平迅速上升，货币也急速贬值，人们也就不愿意以这种形式来持有财富。
因此，人们在物价水平比较稳定的时期更愿意持有货币。

定义外汇干预与货币供给中国银行所持有的外币资产称为国际储备中央银行购买本国货币(出售外币资产),国际储备和基础货币等额减少。
中央银行出售本国货币(购买外币资产),国际储备和基础货币等额增加。
购买本国货币的非冲销性干预外汇干预对货币供给的影响：外汇市场干预类似于公开市场买卖，两者对货币供给的影响是同向的外汇市场干预：中央银行为了影响汇率而定期参与国际金融交易非冲销性干预：中央银行买卖本国货币以对基础货币施加影响。
非冲销性干预改变货币供给，也会发生汇率超调的现象。
外汇干预的种类出售本国货币的非冲销性干预：国际储备增加、货币供给扩张、本国货币贬值冲销性干预：伴随有对冲性公开市场操作的外汇干预不会影响基础货币。
冲销性干预不直接影响利率或逾期未来汇率，但会改变公众手中外国证券相对于本国证券的数量。
贸易余额：商品进口和出口的差额——贸易净收入投资收入服务类交易单方面转移：赠与、补贴、对外援助资本账户：资本交易的净收入优点：消除了汇率波动导致的不确定性有利于世界贸易的发展。
金本位制度：第一次世界大战之前，各国的货币可以按照固定的比率直接兑换为黄金。
缺点：不能控制货币政策，货币供给由黄金的流动决定。
货币政策受到黄金开采和生产的制约。
特别提款权：削弱黄金作为储备货币的职能。
维持固定汇率规则，向国际收支逆差国提供有条件的贷款。
(事实紧缩的货币政策)国际货币基金组织IMF职能央行对外汇市场进行干预一定程度上丧失了对货币政策的控制权。
外汇市场对货币供给的直接影响美元作为储备货币其汇率很少受到汇率市场状况的影响，比较容易实施货币政策。
三种曾经出现的固定汇率制度安排收放政策：国际因素和货币政策美国作为储备货币国，可以有大规模的收支逆差而不必担心国际储备的大量流失。
「不需要利用国际储备来调整汇率，都是其他国家利用美元储备调整针对美元的汇率。
