Using the accompanying diagram, explain what will happen to the market for loanable funds when there is a fall of percentage points in the expected future inflation rate. How will the change in the expected future inflation rate affect the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds?
The following graph shows the demand for loanable funds and the supply of loanable funds in the United States. At the current equilibrium, the government is experiencing a balanced budget. Assume that the automobile industry is on the verge of bankruptcy and the U.S. government decides to implement a several-billion-dollar bailout plan without a rise in taxes, causing a budget deficit.
1. Show the effect of the budget deficit on the market for loanable funds by shifting the demand (D) curve, the supply (S) curve, or both. (Please use the image attached)
2. Based on this model, the budget deficit leads to an increase? a decrease? in the level of investment and an increase? a decrease? in the interest rate.
Graphically Show each scenario of the market for loanable funds and graph the supply and demand for each of the 4 scenarios. Draw the shift occurring (Supply or Demand) and explain what happens to the equilibrium interest rate in for each of the 4 scenarios
1. A breakthrough in medical technology results in many hospitals wanting to buy new equipment.
2. The government budget deficit is reduced by 50%.
3. Foreign investors buy residential property in the United States.
4. People around the world are worried about financial stability in their countries and choose to move their wealth to U.S. financial markets.

Do you think these limits are a good idea? Who benefits from the laws and who loses? What are likely to be the long-term effects of such laws? Tips: For Question 2, you may think about how a low interest rate would affect the poor and those who owe huge debts. For Question 3, you may think about how it would affect the profitability of the banking sector and the supply of lending (will lenders be encouraged to lend more?), and what implications it may have for "credit rationing" (being credit constrained).arrow_forwardAn economy's saving rate increased from -0.1 percent in 2015 to 2.0 percent in 2016 to 2.4 percent in 2017, to 2.9 percent in 2018, and to 3.0 percent in 2019.
