Due to some negative news concerning the impact of global warming on the economy, consumers are becoming more pessimistic about the future to the point of reducing autonomous consumption by 50.
What is the immediate impact on income before the economy adjusts to its new equilibrium?
What are the economy’s equilibrium level of output Y and interest rate r following the fall in autonomous consumption? Compute the equilibrium level of consumption and investment spending. With the help of the IS/LM graph, carefully explain what happens to the economy following the fall in consumer confidence.
Why will a reduction in the real interest rate increase investment spending, other things equal? Why is investment spending unstable?
It is possible that the interest rate might affect consumption spending. An increase in the interest rate could, in principle, lead to increases in saving and therefore a reduction in consumption, given the level of income. Suppose that consumption is, in fact, reduced by an increase in the interest rate. How will the IS curve be affected?

- What are the basic determinants of investment? Explain the relationship between the real interest rate and the level of investment. Why is investment spending unstable? How is it possible for investment spending to increase even in a period in which the real interest rate rises?arrow_forwardSuppose that an increase in consumer confidence raises consumers’ expectations about their future income and thus increases the amount they want to consume today. This might be interpreted as an upward shift in the consumption function. How does this shift affect investment and the interest rate?arrow_forwardHow 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.

- Assume that Andrew Marcus is 25 years old and expects to live until the age of 75. (a) If he wins €20 million in cash (after taxes) in the lottery and retires, how much will he consume each year if he wants to have constant consumption and use up all his wealth by the time he dies? Assume the real interest rate is zero. (75 words max) (b) If his total income in the year he wins the lottery is his lottery winnings, what will his average propensity to consume be for that year? (75 words max) (c) If he has no other earnings in later years but continues his constant consumption, what will his average propensity to consume be for those later years?
