a. Derive the General Equilibrium simultaneous equation for economy Z. Further comment on the economic interpretations of this simultaneous General Equilibrium equation with reference to both the goods market and money market. b. Calculate the equilibrium values of output (Y) and interest rate (r). c. Derive the fiscal multiplier (KG), lump-sum taxation multiplier (KT) and the monetary policy multiplier (KM) for economy Z. Calculate their sizes and discuss the relative effectiveness of monetary policy over fiscal policy with reference to all parameter strengths in economy Z. d. Discuss the impact of the 'crowding out' effect on this fiscal multiplier (K) and thus the changes in the interest rate from changes in output for economy Z. When fiscal policy is expansionary, how can the 'crowding out' effect be counteracted or removed with reference to economy Z?

Consider an economy that is characterized by the following equations: C = 150 + 0.65(Y - T) – 200r (Consumption) (Тахation) (Investment Demand) (Government Expenditure) (Exports) (Imports) T = 100 + 0.2Y I = 200 G = 500 - 200r X = 100 IM = 150 + 0.1(Y – T) – 100r (Money Demand) (Money Supply) L = -25 + 0.5Y - 500r M = 133,200 pSR = 120 (Short-Run Price Level) Answer each of the following questions. In your answers, be sure to state any assumptions that you impose and provide an explanation. Derive the AD and SRAS curves. Solve for the short-run equilibrium in the AD-SRAS model. Is your solution the same as in part 3 above? Why or why not? Is the fiscal multiplier in this economy larger or smaller than if the asset market were not accounted for in the model? Briefly explain. True or false? The aggregate demand curve is downward-sloping because the demand for goods and services increases as the price decreases. Briefly explain.
Given the above model for an economy C = 100 + 0.8Yd G = 800 T = 500 I = 200 c)Find Tax multiplier. d)Find the new level of output if the lump-sum tax is increased by 100 (ΔT = 100). f)Find the new level of output if the government spending is increased by 100 and this government expenditure increase is financed by the same amount of increase in lump-sum taxes (ΔG = ΔT = 100).
Consider Ricardian model with two countries, Home and Foreign, and three goods: Cloth, Food and Books. Labor is the only factor of production. Cloth and Food are freely traded between countries, whereas Books are non-tradable. Unit labor requirements in the Home country are 12 for Cloth, 3 for Food and 4 for Books. Unit labor requirements in the Foreign country are 2 for Cloth, 2 for Food and 3 for Books. The total amount of labor in the Home country is 1500, and the total amount of labor in the foreign is 1000. If the world price of Cloth is 18 and the world price of Food is 12, what is the price of Books in the Home country? [Insert the nearest integer.]
Which one of the following actions in the IS-LM model would result in an increase in the budget deficit and an increase in the interest rate? (a) Expansionary fiscal policy together with expansionary monetary policy; (b) Contractionary fiscal policy; (c) Expansionary fiscal policy together with contractionary monetary policy; (d) Expansionary monetary policy.
. In the long-run framework, budget surpluses: Select correct and explain why its correct should be run whenever output dips below potential output. should never be run since they crowd out investment in the short run. are better than budget deficits over the long run because unlike budget deficits, they increase saving and investment. should be run on a permanent basis since they boost saving and investment and stimulate economic growth.

If an economy has current account and budget deficits, the government should tighten fiscal policy. State whether this statement is True, False or Uncertain. Explain why using the Balance of Trade or Balance of Payments curve and use the accounting framework. What does current account refer to here exactly? What does a budget deficit mean in technical terms. Give equations for both. Also draw a diagram to illustrate necessary fiscal policy implications.
Consider the following macroeconomy. All amounts are in millions (m.) of $: C = 750 + 0.8 YD I = 1200 G = 150 T = 250 Calculate eqm Y and prove that I=sum of S at this equilibrium. What is meant by the “Paradox of Thrift” (POT)? Go back to the original eqm of part a. Now prove using multiplier analysis that the POT holds in this economy by assuming that the change in co is -$50 m. As part of your answer, explain “intuitively” why this paradox exists. Show what happens in the Z-Y space graph.
Q2-14 From an initial equilibrium position for the economy (at the three-way intersection of the IS, LM, and BP curves) and if the LM curve is steeper than the BP curve, expansionary fiscal policy initially leads to a balance of payments (BOP) ______, and expansionary monetary policy _______. Select one: a. deficit / also initially leads to a BOP deficit b. deficit / initially leads to a BOP surplus c. surplus / initially leads to a BOP deficit d. surplus / also initially leads to a BOP surplus
After the Federal Reserve conducts an open-market purchase of bonds to increase the money supply, it takes time for banks to make new loans and even more time for the full multiplier effect to run its course. This illustrates the fact that the(impact lag/recongition lag/administrative lag)? can make it difficult for economic policymakers to achieve their goals in an effective and timely manner.

The Australian Government in the 2015-16 financial year is set to spend $31.9 billion dollars on national defence. There is talk that some of this money will go towards building submarines in South Australia, generating thousands of jobs for South Australia. Kevin is complaining to Henry that this is an inefficient use of money as no individual Australian values national defence at that level and that the spending is just to ensure government politicians get re-elected. There can be multiple answers for this, not just the one.
