a) Consider that the Ghanaian economy is a Small and close, which is
characterised by the following.
AD=C+I+G+NX
C=a+bY*
Y*=disposalincome
T=T 0
I=I 0
G=G0
Md/P=Ld(Y,i)
Ms=money supply, which is given.
AD=Aggregate demand, C=consumption, G=Government expenditure, T=Tax, P= Price level, I=Investment, NX=Net exports
a)Consider an increase in Government spending ∆ > .Assume for now that
both price and expected price are fixed. Also assume that government does
