Consider a model economy in which each young person receives 200 units of the consumption good. There are 50 young people born each period. The total stock of fiat money is constant and equal to $10,000. Suppose a person's preferences are such that they only want to consume when old and they dislike risk. We assume the probability that a person moves is 10 percent. The gross return on capital is 1.10. A bank accepts deposits from all young people. a. What is the state contingent rate of return oşered by banks on deposits? b. Write down the money market-clearing condition for this economy. c. Compute the equilibrium value of money for this economy. [Champ, Bruce/Freeman, Scott/Haslag, Joseph. Modeling Monetary Economies]

The Economist article, "Low interest rates leave savers with few good options", states that savers are likely to respond to low rates in one of the following three ways: Lincrease athletic activity, go back to school, or, spend more on entertainment O re-watch the movie Trading Places, invest in Treasury bills, or, move to Germany save more and spend less, set aside less money due to higher returns, or, decrease investments in risky assets save less and spend more, set aside more money to make up for low returns, or, increase investments in risky assets
Consider a closed economy for which GDP is equal to 22,000, taxes are equal to 7,000, consumption is equal to 13,000, and government expenditures are equal to 4000. What is private saving? Question 15 options: 3,000 0 2,000 1,000
Geometric gradient. C.1.) A graduating class of civil engineers decides they will present the engineering college with a gift of $100,000 at their twenty-fifth reunion. There are 50 in the class and they can invest at 8 percent. They plan to start out giving a small amount at the end of the first year and in- crease their gifts to the class fund by 10 percent each year. Find the amount each graduate would donate at the end of the first year in order to reach their class goal of $100,000 at the end of 25 years. (Ans. C= $10.03)
Consider an economy described as follows: Y = C + I + G. Y = 8,000. G = 2,500. T = 2,000. C = 1000 + 2/3(Y – T). I = 1,200 + 100r. In this economy, compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find the equilibrium interest rate. Now suppose that G is reduced by 500. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find the new equilibrium interest rate
Classify each of the following scenarios listed in the table below using the macroeconomic definitions of saving and investment. Shen purchases a new townhouse in Hartford. Poornima borrows money to build an addition to a lab owned by her engineering firm. Manuel purchases a certificate of deposit at his bank. Valerie purchases stock in Tesqar, a biotech firm.

Economists in Funlandia, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 10,000; C = 6,000; T = 1,500; G = 1,700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I =3,300 –100r where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate
Suppose the U.S. has an investment opportunity which costs $200 which will increase output from 100 to 110 per quarter. The investment would take effect after t = 0. What is the marginal product of capital (MPK)? What is the difference in the present value of future income in the U.S. of undertaking the investment if the real world interest rate is 8%? Should the U.S. borrow from abroad to fund the investment and why?
A consumer lives three periods, called the learning period, the working period, and the retirement period. Her income is 150 during the learning period, 1000 during the working period, and 400 during the retirement period. The consumer's initial assets are 100. The real interest rate is zero. The consumer desires perfectly smooth consumption over her lifetime. What are consumption and saving in each period, assuming no borrowing constraints (saving can be negative)? Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
The amount that personal households and nonprofit organizations have invested in time and savings deposits can be modeled by D(t) = 65.3(t-3.3)²+ 4585 where D(t) represents the amount in billions of dollars the households and nonprofit organizations have deposited in time and savings accounts t years since 2002. How much did personal households and nonprofit organizations have invested in 2013? Round your final answer to two decimal places.
Assume that consumption when young and consumption when old are both normal goods. The income effect of an increase in the interest rate will result in Group of answer choices an increase in saving when young. an increase in saving when old. a decrease in saving when young. a decrease in saving when old.
