This problem asks you to analyze the IS-LM model algebraically. Suppose consumption is a linear function of disposable income: C(YT) = a + b(YT) where a > 0 and 0 0 and d > 0. (a) Solve for Y as a function of r, the exogenous variables G and T, and the model's parameters a, b, c, and d. (b) How does the slope of the IS curve depend on the parameter d, the interest rate sensitivity of investment? Refer to your answer to part (a), and explain the intu- ition. (c) Which will cause a bigger horizontal shift in the IS curve, a $100 tax cut or a $100 increase in government spending? Refer to your answer to part (a), and explain the intuition.
Consider the following information on aggregate income, consumption expenditure, and planned investment for a country:
In the Keynesian-cross analysis, if the consumption function is given by C=100+0.6(Y-T),and planned investment is 100,G is 100, and T is 100,then the equilibrium Y is: Select one: a. 400 b. 350 c. 750 d. 600
Assume that the long-run level of output is Y=1000Y=1000, which the economy is also at initially in the short-run. Suppose that the consumption and investment functions are, respectivley, C=100+0.8(Y−T¯),I=100−2000r,C=100+0.8(Y−T¯),I=100−2000r, that is, MPC is 0.8. Furthermore, the LM (money market equilibrium) curve is M¯P=Y200i.M¯P=Y200i. The government is currently implementing a policy G¯=80,T¯=50G¯=80,T¯=50, and the central bank (CB) is supplying M¯=1000M¯=1000. Expected inflation is πe=0πe=0. Derive the IS curve. It should be written in the form Y=A−BiY=A−Bi, that is, you only need to solve for the values of A=A=Answer and B=B=Answer.
Consider the following two-period consumption-saving model: Max C (BC2)}, C1,C2 subject to the following constraints Y1 = C1+S, Y2 = C2 – (1+r)S. 1. Solve for the intertemporal budget constraint 2. Draw the budget constraint (in a graph) with Y1 = 140, Y2 = 70, and r=0.25. Be sure to label the maximum values of C¡ and C2 on the y-axis and x-axis. 3. Suppose that ß = 0.8, solve for the optimal values of consumption, C and C5. %3D 4. Compare your consumption function for period 1 to a consumption function suggested by John Maynard Keynes (the so-called Keynesian consumption function). Are they different? 5. When r does down, how does C1 change? Does it increase or decrease? Show this mathe- matically. 6. Compute the marginal propensity to consume in period 1. Does this fall in the range sug- gested by Keynes?

In a two-period model, an individual earns and consumes C1 in period 1 and only consumes C2 in period 2. Suppose the saving interest rate is 3.3% and the income in period 1 is $4,500. Assuming consumption smoothing, the consumption (C1 or C2) for period 1 and period 2 should be $ A .

If disposable income is $800 billion when the average propensity to consume is 0.8, it can be concluded that saving is
4. The investment demand curve The following table shows the expected rate of profit and the cumulative amount of investment with that rate of profit or higher in a hypothetical economy. For example, $100 billion worth of investment projects have an expected rate of profit that is greater than or equal to 8%. Put another way, at an interest rate of 8%, the amount of investment demanded equals $100 billion.

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.7 (i.e., c1 = 0.7). Given this information, which of the following events will cause the largest increase in output? Select one: A. G increases by 250 B. T decreases by 250 C. I increases by 200 D. G increases by 250 and T increases by 250
Due to some negative news concerning the impact of global warming on the economy, consumers are becoming more pessimistic about the future to the point of reducing autonomous consumption by 50. What is the immediate impact on income before the economy adjusts to its new equilibrium? What are the economy’s equilibrium level of output Y and interest rate r following the fall in autonomous consumption? Compute the equilibrium level of consumption and investment spending. With the help of the IS/LM graph, carefully explain what happens to the economy following the fall in consumer confidence.
Question 3. Using the Keynesian-cross analysis, assume that the consumption function is given by C = 200 + 0.7 (Y – T). If the planned investment is 50 and T is 100, then what is the level of G needed to make equilibrium Y equal 1,000?
