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.
Suppose that private savings and investment functions are given by: S = −c0 + (1 − c1)(Y − T) I = b0 + b1Y with G = T = 0. Assume 0 < b1 < 1−c1 < 1 (i.e. that slope of the savings curve is steeper than that of the investment curve). (a) Model Basics: Draw a graph of the investment=savings model with S,I on the vertical axis, and Y on the horizontal axis. Clearly label the 1) specific values of each intercept, 2) specific values of the slopes of each curve. (b) Suppose consumers choose to save more by reducing consumption at any given level of income, so that c0 declines. Show this on the graph. What are the effects of this change on 1) output, 2) the level of private savings, 3) the level of investment. (c) Briefly describe the economic intuition behind your results. Why is this called the paradox of thrift? (1-2 sentences is fine). (d) Deriving the Model: Show that the equilibrium condition Y = C + I + G implies I = S + T − G
