Assume that the money demand function is (M / P) ^ d = 2, 200 - 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 2,000 and the price level P is 2. The consumption function is given by C = 200 + 0.5(Y - T) and the investment function is I = 1.000 - 200r , where r is measured in percent , G equals 300, and T equals 200. Calculate the equilibrium level of output. Show the IS-LM equilibrium graphically.
Suppose we start with a general equilibrium, and the economy experience an improvement in payment technology. Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the initial general equilibrium and the final general equilibrium 1. the real interest rate is greater under the final equilibrium 2. the real interest rate is smaller under the final equilibrium 3. the real interst range does not change under the final equilibrium 4. None of the above
Suppose the price of a basket of goods costs $25 in country x and ¥300 in country y. suppose the price level in country x and y is expected to rise by 5% and 10%,respectively, in next year. If the current interest rate in country X is 10%, what would you expect the interest rate to be in country y?
How am I supposed to plot a figure thats not even on the graph and What are the answers to the questions that were not answered. These questions: Suppose that for every increase in the interest rate of one percentage point, the level of investment spending declines by $0.5 billion. Based on the changes made to the money market in the previous scenario, the new interest rate causes the level of investment spending to by . Taking the multiplier effect into account, the change in investment spending will cause the quantity of output demanded to by at every price level. The impact of an increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending is known as the effect. Use the purple line (diamond symbol) on the graph at the beginning of this problem to show the aggregate demand curve (AD3AD3) after accounting for the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of…
Assume the following model of a closed economy: Y = C + I + G C = 120 + .5(Y – T) I = 100 – 10r G = 75 T = 50 (M/P)d = Y – 30r Ms = 700 P = 2 Derive the equation for the IS curve, showing Y as a function of r alone. Derive the equation for the LM curve, showing Y as a function of r alone. Graph both the IS and the LM curves. What are the equilibrium level of income and equilibrium interest rate? (Y = 584, r = 7.8)
In the discussion of the life-cycle hypothesis, income is assumed to be constant during the period before retirement. For most people, however, income grows over their lifetimes. How does this growth in income influence the lifetime pattern of consumption and wealth accumulation shown in Figure 17-12 under the following conditions? Consumers can borrow, so their wealth can be negative. Consumers face borrowing constraints that prevent their wealth from falling below zero. Do you consider case (a) or case (b) to be more realistic? Why?
answer c and d Suppose that the following system of equations describe the macroeconomy of a hypothetical country: Y= C(y)+I(i)+G : IS or goods market M/p=L(i,y) : LM or money market b) Taking money supply and government expenditure as exogenous and the price level as fixed, determine and provide economic intuition for the signs and magnitudes of the following multipliers dY/dG and di/dG c) For a simultaneous increase in both the interest elasticity of investment and interest elasticity demand for money parameters, determine the net effect on the values of the multipliers in part b). d) For a horizontal LM curve, determine the numerical values of your answers in part b) above if: Marginal propensity to consume=5/6 Tax rate=0.25 Interest elasticity of investment=5 Interest elasticity of demand for money=50 Income elasticity of demand for money=2 answer c and d only
By using graphs, show and explain each of the following events as either leading to an increase or a decrease in the equilibrium interest rate? a)A decrease in the price level b)An increase in the discount rate c)A decrease in the level of aggregate output
The consumption function is given by: C = 200+0.75 (Y-T). The investment function is I = 200-25r. G =100 T=100 Suppose instead that money supply is raised from 1,000 to 1,200. How much does the LM curve shift? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income?
Calua is an economy in which people live for three periods. They receive an endowment in only one period as follows: 80 goods when young, or 90 goods when middle-aged or 115 goods when old. The real interest rate in Calua is 10%. Given this information, what endowment should a typical person choose? Assume the interest rate increases to 15%. Which endowment should a typical person now choose?
What other factors besides interest rates will cause the investment demand curve to shift?
Shows the amount of savings and borrowing in a market for loans to purchase homes, measured in millions of dollars, at various interest rates. What is the equilibrium interest rate and quantity in the capital financial market? How can you tell? Now, imagine that because of a shift in the perceptions of foreign investors, the supply curve shifts so that there will be $10 million less supplied at every interest rate. Calculate the new equilibrium interest rate and quantity, and explain why the direction of the interest rate shift makes intuitive sense.
