Consider in a country A: money supply M=3000, price level P=3, inflation expectation andliquidity preference is assumed to be zero to make the calculation simple. The money demandfunctionL(i,Y) =Y−200∗(r+πe). Consumption C=300+0.8*(Y-T)-20*r, investment functionis I=700-80*r, government spending and tax are both 500. (1) Solve the real interest rate and the real GDP in equilibrium. (2) If government spending and tax both increases by 150 to keep the government budgetbalance, what is the new equilibrium real interest rate and the new equilibrium real GDP.
A Keynesian economy is described by the following equations. Consumption Cd = 250 + 0.5(Y - T) - 250r Investment Id = 250 - 250r Government purchases G = 300 Government taxes T = 300 Real money demand L = 0.5Y - 500r + πe Money supply M = 3000 Full-employment output Y = 1250 Expected inflation πe = 0 (HINT a: The expected rate of inflation is assumed to equal zero so that money demand depends directly on the real interest rate, which equals the nominal interest rate. Domestic Savings, Sd =Y - C - G. In equilibrium set domestic savings equal to domestic investment, so Sd = Id) Calculate the values of the real interest rate (r), consumption (Cd), and investment (Id) for the economy in general equilibrium.
Monetary policy affects the economy with a lagmainly because it takes a long timea. for central banks to make policy changes.b. to change the money supply after a policydecision has been made.c. for a change in the money supply to affectinterest rates.d. for a change in interest rates to affect investmentspending.
Question 4Suppose a country’s inflation level is higher than desired, and unemployment levels arelower than expected – the central bank decides that the economy is ‘overheated’ andattempts to use the appropriate monetary policy to deal with the situation. Describe,with the help of the appropriate figure, how a central bank might go about implementingsuch monetary policy, the subsequent effects this has on interest rates, the quantity ofmoney in the market, and the process through which this affects the level of expenditurein the economy.
