permanent Income Hypothesis a) suppose that beta=.9 and R= 2222 (that is ~22%). For an individual who acts according to the PIH, will their consumption next period be higher than current consumption or lower? b) What is the main crucial difference between the Keynesian Consumption function and the consumption function derived from the PIH (or Lifetime Income Hypothesis)? c) If Present Value of future income stream is 500,000 and a person has a beta of.8, how much will their consumption go up today if only today's income increases by 1000? How much will their consumption increase (approximately) if their income goes up by 1000 in all periods?

Macroeconomics Question No.2 Suppose the consumption function is given by C = 100 + 0.8YD and that I = 50, while G=200, TR=62.5 and t=0.25. What is the equilibrium level of income? What is the level of saving in equilibrium? If investment were to rise to 150, what would be the effect be on equilibrium income. What is the value of multiplier in part a. and c. Draw a diagram indicating the equilibrium in part a. and c.
16. Suppose that planned investment and planned government purchases do not depend on income:I = 15 and G = 17. Consumption, as you would expect, does depend on income via the consumption function C = 2 + 0.75Y – 0.75T. Net taxes are T = 12. Your friend thinks that the equilibrium will be where Y = 150 but he is wrong. What is the best description of this situation? a. the (Y, AE) point is above the 45 degree line, Y will adjust down b. the (Y, AE) point is above the 45 degree line, Y will adjust up c. the (Y, AE) point is below the 45 degree line, Y will adjust down d. the (Y, AE) point is below the 45 degree line, Y will adjust up 17. (continued) Help you friend by calculating the equilibrium income for the AE model in the previous question. Y = _____
On a microeconomic demand curve, a decrease in price causes an increase in quantity demanded because the product in question is now relatively less expensive than substitute products. Explain why aggregate demand does not increase for the same reason in response to a decrease in the aggregate price level. In other words, what causes total spending to increase if it is not because goods are now cheaper?
Suppose the economy is operating at potential GDP when It experiences an increase in export demand. How might the economy increase production of exports to meet this demand, given that the economy is already at full employment?
