The Image attached titled Table 1 is data for a hypothetical private-closed economy.
Use the information in the Table 1 to analyze aggregate expenditures (AE) model attached (Figure 1. Equilibrium in a Private Closed Economy).
Question 1
Identify the mistake and explain why the graph of the aggregate expenditures line does not correctly illustrate the economy's equilibrium.
Question 2
Chart the aggregate expenditures (AE) model in Excel using the data from Table 1: A Private Closed Economy.
Remember, the 45degree line (also known as the Keynesian Cross) is a tool that shows how differences in aggregate expenditures and real GDP can affect business inventories which will affect future levels of real GDP. Aggregate expenditure and GDP are both function of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.
So, the equations for the two are identical:
Y = C + I + G + NX, and AE (aggregate expenditure) = C + I + G + NX
For private closed economy the equation…
Question 1Explain fully how the equilibrium output, income, and employment are determined in the Keynesian model. Illustrate with an appropriate graph.
Suppose that the equilibrium GDP is $500 billion and the full employment GDP is $600 billion. If the slope of the AE curve is 0.8, how much would the government have to change its expenditure to get the economy to full employment equilibrium? Illustrate your answer with an appropriate graph, and show the numerical values in your graph.
Explain your understanding of the multiplier process used in answering part B.
Answer the following questions, which relate to the aggregate expenditures model:a. If Ca is $100, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, what is the economy’s equilibrium GDP?b. If real GDP in an economy is currently $200, Ca is $100, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, will the economy’s real GDP rise, fall, or stay the same?c. Suppose that full-employment (and full-capacity) output in an economy is $200. If Ca is $150, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, what will be the macroeconomic result?
