Problem Set 4: Saving and Investment
Economists in Fantasialand, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 9000; C = 6000; T = 1500; G = 1700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3300 - 100r, where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage (i.e. r = 1 means interest rate is one percent). Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate.
explain both in words and diagrammatically how the following government policy affect the economy’s saving and investment. Policy 1: Suppose the government passed a tax reform giving an investment tax credit to any firm building a new factory or buying a new piece of equipment.
Explain how changes in interest rates and rates of return on various investment options will affect the amount of money that businesses are willing to invest to increase output.

- Suppose the following equations represents a closed economy: Y= C + I + G Y = 4000 G = 500 T = 500 C = 500 + 0.7 (Y – T) I = 1000 – 40r In this economy, compute the value of consumption (C), private saving, public saving, and national saving. Also, find the equilibrium interest rate (r). Now suppose that government spending (G) rises (expansionary fiscal policy) to 300. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Also, find the new equilibrium interest rate (r). In part (b), due to expansionary fiscal policy (increase in government spending), which of the two other components of aggregate demand changes, C or I? Why?

- Assume that GDP (Y) is 6,000. Consumption (C) is given by the equation C= 600+ 0.6(Y- T). Investment (I) is given by the equation I= 2,000 – 100r, where r is the real rate of interest in percent. Taxes (T) are 500 and government spending (G) is also 500. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r?

- a. Consider the Market for Loanable Funds in a closed economy. What would be the impacts of the following events on interest rates and investment. i. The government introduces a tax credit for savings accounts of up to $10,000 per year. ii. The government introduces a tax credit for savings accounts of up to $10,000 per year, and at the same time it repeals an investment tax exemption provision. iii. The government raises the tax rates. iv. The government issues bonds worth $10 billion. b. In a closed economy GDP = $1,400, private saving = $225, government budget deficit = $15, and government spending $25 (all numbers are in billions). Calculate national saving, taxes, and consumption. %3Darrow_forwardWhat does it mean by the logic: When output is too low, what needed is an increase in demand for goods and services. Investment is one component of demand, and saving equals investment. Therefore, if the government could just convince households to attempt to save more, then investment and output would increase.arrow_forwardConsider an economy described as follows: Y - C+I+ G. Y = 8,000. G = 2,500. 1 = 2,000. C = 1000 + 2/3(Y-T). I= 1,200 – 100r. a. In this economy, compute private saving. public saving, and national saving. b. Find the equilibrium interest rate. c. Now suppose that G is reduced by 500. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. d. Find the new equilibrium interest rate.arrow_forward
