An economy has a constant population. Everyone's demand for chequing deposits is5,000 goods in total in every period. The economy has a total endowment of 10,000goods per period. There is a total stock of unintermediated capital of 1,000 goods in each period. Bank deposits are the only form of money in the economy. Deposits of banks are subject to a 20 percent reserve requirement. The net real rate of return on capital is 10 percent per period. After meeting the reserve requirement, banks invest the remainder of all deposits into capital. Individuals do not hold capital. The fiat money stock is$2,000 per period. Capital takes two periods to generate final returns 25) What is this economy's real GDP? (A)16,050. (B)14,840. (C)11,560. (D)10,000

Why does substitution bias arise if we calculate the inflation rate based on a fixed basket of goods?
Consider an economy called Xanadu for which desired aggregate consumptiondepends on income, Y. and the real interest rate, r, according toCd =100+0.7Y - 200r.Xanadu's GDP is Y = 1000 and government spending on goods and services is G=180. Xanadu's desired future capital stock is given byK* = 140 - 100ucwhere luCdenotes the user-cost of capital. The price of capital is PK =2, thephysical depreciation rate is d =0.1 and the existing capital stock is K0= 50. Trapital stock between any period t and the following period t+1 evolves accordng toKt+1 = It+(1-d)Kt where It the level of investment. Assume throughout that net factor payments from abroad (NFP) is equal to zero.Suppose instead that Xanadu is a small open economy facing a world interest rate of 1%. It follows that Xanadu's current account position is equal toA) -16B) -51C) -6D) -8
In the capital market, if a Öxed interest rate exists (horizontalline) where the dashed lines intersect, then in a recession (solid lines)the interest cannot fall to its equilibrium value. This causes an a. excess supply of capital at the pre-recession interest rate;b. excess demand for capital at the pre-recession interest rate;c. excess supply of labor at the pre-recession interest rate;d. excess demand for labor at the pre-recession interest rate

Course: Macroeconomic - IS-LM Model Prove mathematically the following: Given an increase in the proportional tax on income(t), what happens to the level of output and to the tax?" . Hint: for demostration, use the IS general function for a closed economy Y = C + I + G, where C = a + c*YD and YD = Y + TR - Y*t (where t = proportional income tax) and realize changes i.e., from "t1" to "t2"
Consider the following model of the economy Production function: Y = AKN â€“ N2/2Marginal product of labor: MPN = AK â€“ N. Where the initial values of A = 8 and K = 10. The initial labor supply curve is given as: NS = 20 + 9w. Cd = 401 + .50(Y-T) â€“ 500rId = 800 â€“ 500rG = 500T= 100 Md/P = 469 + 0.5Y- 1000r Nominal Money supply M = 4000 We assume that expectedinflation is zero (?e?= 0) so that money demand depends directly onthe real interest rate (since i = r). 1 a) Solve for the labor market clearing real wage (w*), theprofit maximizing level of labor input (N*), and the full employment level ofoutput (Y*). Please show your work. Draw two diagrams verticallywith the labor market on the bottom graph and the production function on thetop graph. Be sure to label everything including this initial equilibrium pointas point A b) Derive an expression for the IS curve (r in terms of Y).

The neoclassical consumption model, a retirement perspective: Consider thespecial case solved in the text where ! = 1 and utility takes the log form.Suppose the real interest rate is 5 percent. Let’s give this consumer a fnancial profle that might look like that of a middle-aged college professor contem-plating retirement: initial assets are ftoday = $50,000, and the path for labor income is ytoday = $100,000 and yfuture = $10,000.(a) What is the individual’s human wealth? Total wealth?
