Consider an economy called Xanadu for which desired aggregate consumption depends on income, Y , and the real interest rate, r', according to Cª = 100 + 0.7Y – 200r. Xanadu's GDP is Y = 1000and government spending on goods and services is G = 180. xanadu's desired future capital stock is given by %3D K* = 140 – 100uc %3D where UC denotes the user-cost of capital. The price of capital is PK = 2, the physical depreciation rate isd = 0. land the existing capital stock is Ko = 50. evolves according to apital stock between any period t and the following period t+1 K+1 = I, + (1 – d)K, wherel is the level of investment. Assume throughout that net factor payments from abroad (NFP) is equal to zero.
