Suppose that the government is concerned about keeping pace with this long-term growth and ensuring that it maintains a stable price level in its long-term equilibrium. Therefore, it does act and decides to keep increasing the autonomous demand for investment in order to try and maintain a constant price level in the face of this productivity growth. 3. Does the AD-AS model predict that this strategy could be effective? What would we expect to happen to both p* and the equilibrium interest rates in this example? Explain your answer.

I have to analyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomiceffects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth. Specifically, I have to suppose that households (consumers) lose confidence and start saving more for any level of disposable income. Can you plase answer the following question (using graphs where possible): In terms of total savings and, therefore, of potential long-term growth, is a flat LM curve or a positive sloping LM curve better?

Consider a keynesian macromodel Y=(C0+G+I) / (1-c) where C0 is autonomus consumption, G is government consumption expenditure, I is investment expenditure, c is the marginal propensity to consume. In this model, if lthere is an increse in both labor productivity and the marginal propensity to consume while autonomus expenditures remain unchanged, what will happen to the level of employment? a. can't say for sure b. decreses c. stays the same d. increases
Assume a Keynesian model of a small open economy. The world interest rate is given rw = 0.05. Money demand is given by the equation: Md = 20+0.5Y –40rw. Money supply is 800. The marginal propensity of consumption is 0.8. (a) Find the equation for the LM curve. (b) Find Y . (c) Assume the economy has flexible exchange rates and prices.

I have to analyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomiceffects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth. Specifically, I have to suppose that households (consumers) lose confidence and start saving more for any level of disposable income. The question is: Using the IS-LM model, show the effect of an increase in saving on production,investment and consumption, assuming that the Central Bank modifies the money supply when income changes, so that the LM curve is flat.
Consider an IS-LM model. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply by 5 percent. But the price level also increases increase by 10 percent. Part 1What will be the change in LM curve? What will be the change in equilibrium interest rate and output? Explain properly using a graph?Part 2What will be the change in the AD curve? (Hint: first derive the AD curve from IS-LM model and then consider whether AD will shift to the left or right given the change in LM curve) Given that the SRAS curve is horizontal, what will be the impact of change in AD on price level?
a. Suppose that, ceteris paribus, the government raises taxes.Diagram the effects of such a change in the IS-LM model. Whathappens to “the” interest rate?b. Now show both the short-run and long-run effects of this changein the IS-LM model in the AS-AD model. What happens to the pricelevel and output in the short and long runs?
onsider a closed economy to which the Keynesian-cross analysis applies. Consumption is given by the equation C = 200 + 2/3(Y – T). Planned investment is 300, as are government spending and taxes. What is equilibrium Y? (Hint: Substitute the values of equations for planned consumption, investment, and government spending into the equation Y = C + I + G and then solve for Y.) What are equilibrium consumption, private saving, public saving, and national saving?
Elaborate on the difference between a binding and non-binding borrowing constraints and thetwo consumption functions that result.b. From the Intertemporal Choice Model, many theories (non-Keynesian theories ofConsumption) came into being. Using graphical and mathematical expressions, compareand contrast the following theories on consumption behaviours:i. Franco Modigliani: Life-Cycle Hypothesisii. Milton Friedman: Permanent-Income Hypothesisiii. Robert Hall: Random Walk Hypothesis
Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and that taxes are exogenous. Imagine that government expenditure increases by $10m. Begin by assuming that the interest rate and prices stay fixed. 1. What is the value of the aggregate expenditure multiplier (k)? 2. How would the change be represented in an AD-AS diagram? 3. How would the change differ if the interest rate could change (assuming prices remain fixed)? 4. How would the change differ if the price level could also change?
In each of the following cases, determine whether the IScurve shifts to the right or left, does not shift, or is indeterminate in the direction of shift.a. The real interest rate rises.b. The marginal propensity to consume declines.c. Financial frictions increase.d. Autonomous consumption decreases.e. Both taxes and government spending decrease by thesame amount.f. The sensitivity of net exports to changes in the realinterest rate decreases.g. The government provides tax incentives for researchand development programs for firms
