Consider a small macroeconomy located near the South Pacific Ocean where the current interest rate is 15 percent and the potential level of real GDP equal to $2.7 billion. Consumers spending behavior is described by the equation: C = 175 + 0.8DI, while firm's investment spending behavior is described by the equation: I = 60 +0.25Y-750r. Trade is allowed and currently, total exports is fixed at $150 million while total imports is described by the equation: IM = 320 +0.1Y. The government's spending is fixed at $840 million and net taxes is described by the equation: T=50+ 0.25Y. (Question 4 of 6) Consider that actual rate of unemployment is 5 percent and the current government implements a monetary policy to stabilize the current economic environment. Given the government's policy, what will be the new equilibrium level of GDP (in millions of dollars)? (report your answer at 2 decimal places)

Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y=√K and annual investment is given by the function I=γ×YI where γ=0.280, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 4.67%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking.
Consider an open economy with a current population of 0.55 million people, and where the potential GDP is $ 3.24 billion. Consumer expenditure is represented by the following equation: C = 60+ 0.75DI. Exports are constant at $500 million, and investors want to spend $ 400 million at every level of income. The government purchases are $300 million, imports are constant at $ 450 million, and taxes are $200 million. - What is the current equilibrium level of real GDP? (report your answer at 2 decimal places and in millions of dollars)
Consider two economies, A and B. Economy A has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Economy B has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.7, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Suppose there is an increase in autonomous investment of $5 billion in each of these economies. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O A. The AD curve shifts farther to the right in Economy A than Economy B. O B. The AD curve shifts to the left the same amount in both economies. O C. The simple multiplier is larger in Economy A. O D. The AD curve shifts to the right the same amount in both economies. O E. The AD curve shifts farther to the left in Economy B than Economy A.

Assume a two-period small open economy model, where the national product is 50 in the current period, and 88 in the future period. The world real interest rate is 10% per period. The representative consumer has the following utility function: U(c,G,c’,G’) = ln(c+G) + ln(c’+G’). a) What are the optimal consumption plus government spending in the current and in the future period? What is the current account surplus? Show this in a diagram. b) Now, suppose that governments in the rest of the world impose a tax on lending to foreigners of 5%. Determine how this affects consumption plus government spending in the present and the future, and the current account surplus. Explain your results. c) Suppose that governments in the rest of the world still impose a tax on lending to foreigners of 5%. However, the national country found a huge reserve of oil and the current period income increased to 100. The Determine how this affects consumption plus government spending in the present and the…

Holy cow! The giant manufactory company Whamazon is considering your city to locate its new factory. You are the mayor of the city. Suppose that you estimate the MPC of your city to be 0.67. Suppose further that Whamazon estimates the immediate new Investment impact upon your city will be $350 million. Whamazon is asking for a tax subsidy of $1,000 million ($1 Billion) to locate there. Should you take the offer? Why or why not? Absolutely not. $1 Billion! Your city would end up in the hole the entire $1,000 million. No, your city would end up in the behind $650 million (the $1,000 subsidy minus the $350 new investment). Yes, your city comes out ahead $650 million ($1,000 subsidy cost $350 investment) - Yes, your city comes out ahead $1,350 ahead ($1,000 subsidy + $350 investment) Yes, your city comes out ahead $60 million ($1,060 new economic development - $1,000 cost of the subsidy).
Suppose that we are in an economy with international trade, the government, domestic consumption, and investment. The government retains a tax rate of 10%. - Suppose that we observe this economy at two levels of national income (Y) ceteris paribus: (i) Y = 1,000 and (ii) Y = 1,800. The amounts for each of these desired expenditure categories at each of these levels of Y are given by: At Y = 1,000: + Consumption = 1,000 - Government Spending = 550 %3D Investment = 150 %3D Imports = 100 t Exports = 150 At Y = 1,800: 4 Consumption = 1,560 - Government Spending = 550 Investment = 270 e %3D Imports = 180 Exports = 150 Based upon this data, answer the following questions. We will keep referring to four categories - these are Consumption (C), Investment (1), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (NX). « | 1.

Consider the intertemporal budget constraint in the context of the two-period life-cycle model. When there is no tax on interest income, the slope of the intertemporal budget constraint is -1.2. When there is a percentage tax interest income, the slope of the intertemporal budget constraint becomes -1.15. What is the percentage tax rate on interest income
