Question

Recall that a goal of either Quantitative Easing or Quantitative Tightening is to adjust the yield curve. First, create a yield curve graph similar to the one from Part Three of the Quantitative Easing and Tightening Page. Your graph should show a base case yield curve with near zero near term interest rates and a steep increase to high interest rates in the long-term. Then decide if the Federal Reserve would choose with such a steep curve to utilize Quantitative Easing or Quantitative Tightening to stimulate the economy and draw a second line reflecting the desired impact on the yield curve, that is the yield curve the Federal Reserve would prefer.

(1) definitions of yield curve, quantitative easing, quantitative tightening, (2) an explanation of the graph including the correct choice of QT or QE for the situation and a correct statement of the result and (3) a statement of whether the results would be good or bad if you were hoping to be able to buy a house using a 30 year mortgage, including why it would be good or bad.
