A closed economy which is shown below, endogenous variables are Y,
I, C, i and exogenous variables are Go and Mo and parameters are
a,b,t,d,e, k.
Y= C+l+G
C= a+ b(1-t)Y
|= d-ei
G= Go
Md= Ms
Ma= ky-li
Ms=Mo
Calculate the equlibrium level of I by using inverse matrix rule.
Suppose the parameters of the Romer model take the following values:
A = 100
= 0.05, Z = 1/100, and I = 1,000. What is the growth rate of this
country's economy?
10 percent
O 40 percent
O 0.02 percent
O 50 percent
O 0.10 percent
Consider now the two-period model in general equilibrium, so that prices, investment, and labor supply are endogenous, i.e. the production economy. Analyze and carefully explain graphically and in words the general equilibrium effects of a decrease in TFP for a benchmark economy with no frictions.
