Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 25%.
Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.
This change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to Fall/Rise and the level of investment spending to decrease/Increase
Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government implements a new investment tax credit.
Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.
The implementation of the new tax credit causes the interest rate to Fall/Rise and the level of investment to Fall/Rise .
Scenario 3: Initially, the government's budget is…

The economy of Dream Island, which is isolated from the rest of the world, has the supply of loanable funds schedule and the demand for loanable funds schedule shown in the table below. As it happens, all of the supplies of loanable funds are from households' savings and the entre demand for loanable funds is from firms' investment demand. Real interest rate (percent per year) Supply of loanable funds (2005 dollars) Demand for loanable funds (2005 dollars) 5 2,000 5,000 7 3,000 4,000 9 4,000 3,000 11 5,000 2,000
a) Draw the demand and supply curves.

Consider the long-run theory of investment, saving, and growth. Which of the following statements concerning national saving is true? An increase in the rate of saving will lead to a short-run reduction in national income, but to higher economic growth in the long run. A country's saving rate is unrelated to its growth rate. An increase in the rate of saving will lead to a reduction in consumption and therefore to both a short-run and a long-run decrease in national income. An increase in the rate of saving will cause an immediate increase in national income, but may cause a drop in national income in the long-run. An increase in the rate of saving will always be offset by a reduction in private investment.arrow_forward

A consumer is making saving plans for this year and next. She knows her real income after taxes will be $50,000 in both years. Any part of her income saved this year will earn a real interest rate of 10% between this year and next year. Currently, the consumer has no wealth (no money in the bank or other financial assets, and no debts). There is no uncertainty about the future. a) Formally derive the consumer’s intertemporal budget constraint. b) Using the given numerical values rewrite and graph the budget line. c) Find the consumer’s PVLR. The consumer wants to save an amount this year that will allow her to (1) make college tuition payments next year equal to $16,800 in real terms; (2) enjoy exactly the same amount of consumption this year and next year, not counting tuition payments as part of next year’s consumption; and (3) have neither assets nor debts at the end of next year. d) In the…arrow_forward
