The government raises the tax rates. iv. The government issues bonds worth $10 billion. b. In a closed economy GDP = $1,400, private saving = $225, government budget deficit = $15, and government spending $25 (all numbers are in billions).

Interest rate (%) 12 10 8 6 4 0 XH 2 3 E 4 6 5 Quantity of loanable funds (trillions of dollars) S Which of the following might produce a new equilibrium interest rate of 2% and a new equilibrium quantity of loanable funds of $5 trillion?

1) In the loanable funds market model, assuming everything else is constant, which curve (supply of funds or demand for funds) is affected if there is an increase in national saving? How will equilibrium real interest rate and equilibrium quantity of loans change as a result?

Using the framework of the supply and demand of loanable funds, analyze the possible effect on the equilibrium interest rate in the U.S. in each of the following independent, hypothetical scenarios. a. The economy heats up, leading to higher wages and decreased unemployment. b. Concerned that the credit rating of US Treasury securities will be downgraded, international investors move some money out of the US. c. Congress approves a budget that decreases spending and increases tax rates, thereby driving the deficit down
This question addresses the impact of saving on an economy by examining what happens if tax laws change to induce saving and how changes in tax laws can discourage saving. The following graph shows the market for loanable funds. Show the impact of a change in the tax law that successfully encourages saving by shifting either the demand curve (D), the supply curve (S), or both. A tax law change that successfully encourages saving will (increase/decrease) interest rates, which leads to (less/more) investment and economic growth. To better understand how changes in tax laws can affect saving, suppose that Madison, a rising third-year in college, plans to save $550 from her summer job in order to buy textbooks for the upcoming fall semester. Madison's parents are so impressed with her plans that they offer to pay her an additional 30% interest per month on the money she saves, which means that Madison is now earning a large rate of return on her saving. By the end of the…
