Consider a macroeconomic model for an open economy with the government. Consumption is given by C = 250 + bYd, where b = 0.8, Yd = (1-t)Y, and t = 0.1. Investment is given by I = 1,200 – 2,000R, and net export is given by X = 525 – 0.1Y – 500R. Assume that G = 1,200. Money demand is given by (Md/P) = 0.1283Y – 1,000R. Assume that P = 1, and the fixed money supply is given by (Ms/P) = 900. Drive the expression for the IS curve from the model. Drive the expression for the LM curve from the model. Drive the IS-LM equilibrium from the model.
subquestions a and b. * for a) - need to find the IS equation, also the LM equation and the equilibrium.
When in macroeconomics an economy ‘overheats’ it is observed that aggregate demand exceeds national income at the full employment output level. Within a ‘Keynesian cross’ framework this overheating is described as which of the following: (a) A Goldilocks effect; (b) A hyperinflation; (c) A recessionary gap; (d) An inflationary gap Please illustrate the correct answer via a diagram.
A) Suppose that the economy has a recessionary gap. Use the Keynesian transmission mechanism to explain fully how the Bank of Canada can use an easy money policy to remove the recessionary gap. Assume a closed economy. Illustrate your answer with graphs. B) An easy money policy was deemed to be very ineffective by Keynes. Provide three reasons why Keynes felt that an easy money policy may be ineffective. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism.

The Keynesian cross model is derived assuming that the interest rate is constant. True or False
Consider a keynesian macromodel Y=(C0+G+I) / (1-c) where C0 is autonomus consumption, G is government consumption expenditure, I is investment expenditure, c is the marginal propensity to consume. Assume constant marginal productivity of labor. What will be the result of an increasing government consumption expenditure in this module, if not other paramiters are changed? a. Lower investment. b. Higher employment. c. Higher inflation. d. Lower employement.
In the new Keynesian view, the larger the proportion of firms in the economy with sticky prices the less effective is fiscal policy in increasing output. The steeper the SRAS curve will be. the greater the increase in the price level for a given shift in the AD curve. the flatter the SRAS curve will be.
No matter the macroeconomic conditions in an economy, a Keynesian economist always advocates for more government spending Group of answer choice false true
Egypt authorities faced significant health and economic policy challenges during the COVID19 Pandemic, shutting down certain industries to protect public health. This shutdown resulted in almost 1 million jobs lost in April and May 2020, and a dramatic fall in consumers’ and firms’ confidence to spend and invest. Describe the effect that a fall in confidence had upon output in the Egypt economy using a Keynesian model of the macroeconomy. Ensure that your analysis includes the following:(i) the components of expenditure that are affected and why;(ii) the adjustment process associated with moving from an initial equilibrium (before the onset of the pandemic) to a new equilibrium (after the significant job losses), i.e. the mechanism that leads to a change in output (including a relevant diagram);(iii) an explanation of what the multiplier is and its role in explaining the fall in output; and(iv) a discussion of the policy actions that can restore aggregate demand to its initial level.
