6) Suppose the economy is closed and is characterized by the following behavioral equations: C=C₁+C₁YD Y₁ = Y-T I=b₁ + b₂Y a. Government spending and taxes are constant. Solve for the equilibrium output. What is the value of the multiplier? How does the relationship between investment and output affect the value of the multiplier as compared to the case when investment was exogenous? For the multiplier to be positive what condition must (c₁ +b₁ ) satisfy? Explain your answers? b. Suppose that the parameter bo, sometimes called business confidence, increases. How will the equilibrium output be affected? Will investment change by more or less than the change in bo? Why? What will happen to national saving?

Solve for the new values of e, Y and NX. With the help of graphs, explain very carefully the mechanisms by which a new equilibrium is reached. 3)Suppose that with all exogenous variables at their original values, the autonomous part of money demand increases to 70.

13) All of the following are true statements about the multiplier except A) The multiplier makes the economy less sensitive to changes in autonomous expenditure. B) The formula for the multiplier overstates the real world multiplier when we take into account the impact of changes in GDP on imports, inflation and the interest rate. C) The multiplier is the ratio of the change in real GDP to the change in autonomous expenditure. D) The larger the MPC, the larger the multiplier. 14) John Maynard Keynes argued that if many households decide at the same time to increase saving and reduce spending, A) this may benefit the economy in the short run, but not in the long run. B) this will have a major negative impact on the economy in both the short run and in the long run. C) the economy will benefit in the short run and benefit by an even greater amount in the long run. D) this may benefit the economy in the long run, but could be counterproductive in the short run. 15) If an increase in…
Consider the problem of an individual that has Y dollars to spend on consuming over two periods. Let c, denote the amount of consumption that the individual would like to purchase in period 1 and c2 denote the amount of consumption that the individual would like to consume in period 2. The individual begins period 1 with Y dollars and can purchase c1 units of the consumption good at a price P and can save any unspent wealth. Use sı to denote the amount of savings the individual chooses to hold at the end of period 1. Any wealth that is saved earns interest at rate r so that the amount of wealth the individual has at his/her disposal to purchase consumption goods in period 2 is (1+r)s1. This principal and interest on savings is used to finance period 2 consumption. Again, for simplicity, we can assume that it costs P2 dollars to buy a unit of the consumption good in period 2. 2 The individual's total happiness is measured by the sum of period utility across time, u(cı) + u(c2). Let u(c)…

Suppose that investment demand increases by $100. Assume that households have a marginal propensity to consume of 80 percent. Compute the first three rounds of multiplier effects as follows: a) What are the first cycle changes in spending? Total cumulative change equals? b) What are the second cycle changes in spending? Total cumulative change equals? c) What are the third cycle changes in spending? Total cumulative change equals?

The autonomous consumption expenditures and autonomous investment expenditures in an economy are $600 and $350, respectively. It is also observed that individuals spend 70% of their additional income on consumption. Write down the consumption function for this economy using the information provided above.

The equilibrium income that would set the actual national income to the desired aggregate expenditure is $. (Round your response to the nearest dollar.)

What is Kelly's marginal propensity to consume out of her new wealth (AC/AW) in the following situations: [Hint: Let AC be the the change in consumption compared to what she would have done before the inheritance changed her wealth AW]. 19.

Assume that GBP|USD = 2.00 (rate chosen for math ease). After the passage of a significant tax increase in the United States, the United States stock market is expected to drop significantly over the next month while the British stock market is expected to show steady growth. As a result which of following is most likely in a graph of the currency market with GBP per USD (original equilibrium is USD|GPB = 0.50) on the vertical axis (quantity of USD on horizontal axis)? Drawing a diagram would be useful. A. The supply curve would shift left and the new price would be greater than 0.50. B. The supply curve would shift right and the new price would be greater than 0.50. C. The supply curve would shift left and the new price would be less than 0.50. D. The supply curve would shift right and the new price would be less than 0.50.
these bottom two are solved I am just struggling with how to graph the consumption function and the breakeven condition for this problem and to Point out the income and consumption values relevant for these problems: 3. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75, which means that households spend 75% of each additional dollar of income. The starvation-level consumption is 6, which means that households will consume at least 6 dollars, regardless of their income. Therefore, the amount that households will save can be found by subtracting their minimum consumption level from their gross income, multiplying the difference by the MPC, and subtracting the lump-sum tax: Savings = (1 - MPC) * (Gross Income - Starvation-level Consumption) - Lump-sum Tax Savings = (1 - 0.75) * (40 - 6) - 10 Savings = 0.25 * 34 - 10 Savings = 1.5 Therefore, households will save $1.5. 3. a) How should the lump-sum income tax change to allow households to save 3?
