B4. Closed economy Keynesian model: The aggregate demand-side of the economy Rigidia is well-described by a standard IS-LM-FE framework while the short-run aggregate supply side is characterized by (SRAS) aggregate output/income, Y is the full employment output level, P is the Here Y is realized aggregate realized price level, Pe is the expected price level and b is a constant that depends on the slope of the labour demand curve. Explain the effects of each of the following on the...
Which one of the following statements best represents the Keynesian Perspective? Build things so long as the supply is there. People’s demand determines what is built. Build it and they will come. Keynes argued that the private sector was ________. As a result, government should ________ in managing the economy. unable to keep the economy at full employment; take an active role able to keep the economy at full employment; take an passive role unable to keep the economy at...
Short Run Keynesian Model (30 points) Consider an economy described by the following: autonomous consumption is 300, the marginal propensity to save is 25%, the government runs a balanced budget and also imposes a lump-sum tax of 400 on all consumers. In addition, investment is given by I = 900 + 0.25Y – 100r. The nominal money supply is 1800 and the average price level is 3. Lastly, real money demand is given by L(r,Y) = 0.25Y. a. Derive the...
The figure below depicts the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for the United States. The economy is initially at long-run equilibrium, at point A.One of the most contentious issues among economists involves the economy’s adjustment to long-run equilibrium. Some economists believe that adjustment can and should occur naturally. This group, the classical economists, stress the importance of aggregate supply. Others see the return to long-run equilibrium as an...
"In the long run, we're all dead" Interest rates fall when money saved exceeds the demand for those funds for investment, until savings equals investment Capitalist economies will normally fail to reach full employment due to insufficient aggregate demand The paradox of thrift Investment and savings are primarily functions of the rate of interest Saving is a leakage out of, and investment is an injection into the spending flow 1. (neo)classical Demand, particularly intended investment, drives supply 2. (post)Keynesian 3....
Derivation of the Aggregate Demand Curve Suppose the economy of Y is described by the following equations: Consumption: C = 750 + 0.60 Yd where Ydrefers to disposable (post-tax) income. Taxes: T = 300 Government Expenditure: G = 30+0.2Y Investment: I = 400 -2000r Money Demand: L(r,Y) = Y – 10,000r Nominal Money Supply :Ms=$12000 Price Level P1=$3 Calculate the tax multiplier in Y Derive(sketch) the IS curve for Y. Derive(sketch) the LM curve for Y Solve for the equilibrium...
2. Chapter 11, The Keynesian Cross (5 points): • In the Keynesian cross, assume that the consumption function is given by: C = 200 +0.75(Y - T) Planned investment is 100, government purchases and taxes are both 100. (a) Graph planned expenditure as a function of income. (b) What is the equilibrium level of income? (c) If government purchases increase to 125, what is the new equilibrium income? (d) What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income...
Consider the following economy with: Real Money demand 〖 (M/P)〗^d = – 12 R + 0.38 Y Real Money supply (M^s/P)= 4510 Derive the LM curve Derive the LM curve when the money supply increases by 680. Derive the LM curve when money supply decreases by 12% Compare the LM curves from a, b and c by graphing them using any graphing tool (excel preferably). Comment on the differences. Find the value of money demanded when income Y = 15,000...
B2. Closed Economy IS-LM-FE model: The behaviour of households and firms in a closed economy is represented by the following equations Desired consumptionC 200+0.8(Y-T-500r Desired investment : r = 200-500r Real money demand where expected inflation is ㎡-0.10 and taxes depend on income according to T 20+0.25Y. (a) Derive an expression for the IS curve with the real interest rate on the left side of the equation. How does the position of the IS curve depend on G? (b) If...
Consider the following economy (with flexible exchange rate system): • Desired consumption: Cd = 300 + 0.5Y −2000r • Desired investment: Id = 200−3000r • Government purchases: G = 100 • Net export: NX = 350−0.1Y −0.5e • Real exchange rate: e = 20 + 1000r • Full employment: ¯ Y = 900. • Nominal money stock: M = 4354 • Real money demand: L = 0.5Y −200r 1 (a) Find the equations for NX(r,Y )) and Sd(r,Y )−Id(r) and...
