Let’s assume that parameter b in the investment function is small. How an increase in the rental price (or interest rate) will affect the level of investment in the economy? Why? Explain and use the models and graphs.
An increase in the rental price(or interest rates) from to results in a decrease of investment from to . A decrease in the interest rates, on the other hand, will encourage investment in an economy.
Let’s assume that parameter b in the investment function is small. How an increase in the...
Assume that Lalaland is a small open economy. Explain how an increase in consumer confidence in the rest of the world (i.e., an increase in autonomous consumption) affects the world interest rate and the Lalaland interest rate, level of investment, net exports and net capital outflows. Support your answer with a graph of the rest of the world loanable funds market and a graph of the loanable funds market of Lalaland.

question 4 4. This question concerns how the consumption function affects the analysis of the loanable funds market. Suppose consumption depends on the interest rate, i.e. C = C(Y - T,r). a. b. How will a rise in interest rate affect consumption expenditure and thus national saving? Explain how an increase in government expenditure would affect the economy in the long-run. In particular, explain the effects on investment and consumption. Suppose there is an increase in investment incentive because of...
IS/LM: Use the same setup as #1, but now Investment spending is a function of the real interest rate: I = 10000 – 50000r. Government purchase are now $1200b (makes for nicer numbers). Money demand in the economy is MD= (0.01Y – 800r)P + o. Assume the current money supply is $1400b, the price level/CPI is 100, and there are no money demand shocks to worry about (o = 0). a) Derive the IS curve and the LM curve for...
Let’s see how fees can hurt your investment strategy. Let’s assume that your mutual fund grows at an average rate of 5% per year—before subtracting the fees. Use the rule of 70 and round your answers to the nearest tenth of a year. a. How many years will it take for your money to double if fees are 0.5% per year? Doubling time:_______years. b. How many years will it take for your money to double if fees are 1.5% per...
A lt Consumers increase their savings during a recession describe the complete effect that this u have on the economy. B How do Improvement in the level of technologyta decrease in the market interest rate affect the Investment function?
A,B,C,D Given this information, answer the following questions: A) How much will consumption increase if disposable income increases by $400? Show your work. B) Suppose there is a decrease in investment of S1,200. What will be the total decrease in Real GDP caused by this decrease in investment? Show your work. C) If autonomous consumption is S100, write the consumption function of this economy. D) If the economy's savings rate decreases, how will this most likely affect the MPC (increase,...
Consider a classical economy with the following characteristic: Investment function: I = i0 - i1r + i2IC where IC represents investor confidence and r interest rates. Consumption function: C = a +b(Y-T) - cr All model parameters are positive. Suppose that the investor confidence (IC) has increased. How does this change in investor confidence affect the Classical Model? Be sure to mention what happens to (Y, N, P, r, C, S, Private Saving, Public Saving). Note: Assume that the change...
2. Effect of Investment Suppose in a closed private economy households are spending 75 cents from each additional dollar that they receive as an income. Moreover, when they do not have any income, they are still spending $100 on their needs. (a) Derive the consumption function and the saving function in this economy. Draw the graphs in the (C-Y) space and in the (S-Y) space. (b) If there is no investment in the economy, what is the equilibrium level of...
2) Assume that utility is given by Utility-U(X,Y)-X03yo7 a) Calculate the ordinary demand functions, indirect utility function, and expenditure function. b) Use the expenditure function calculated in part (a) together with Shephard's lemma to compute the compensated demand function for good X. Use the results from part (b) together with the ordinary demand function for good X to show that the Slutsky equation holds for this case. c) d) Prove that the expenditure function calculated in part (a) is homogeneous...
