Does interest (nominal or real) impact the consumption function in any way? According to literature consumption in the IS-LM model is affected by changes in output Y and taxes T. But in this question as there is an i for the interest included in the equation does that mean (as I am given a nominal interest rate), use it in my calculations? Or is it just written there to test my knowledge?

This problem asks you to analyze the IS-LM model algebraically. Suppose consumption is a linear function of disposable income: C(YT) = a + b(YT) where a > 0 and 0 0 and d > 0. (a) Solve for Y as a function of r, the exogenous variables G and T, and the model's parameters a, b, c, and d. (b) How does the slope of the IS curve depend on the parameter d, the interest rate sensitivity of investment? Refer to your answer to part (a), and explain the intu- ition. (c) Which will cause a bigger horizontal shift in the IS curve, a $100 tax cut or a $100 increase in government spending? Refer to your answer to part (a), and explain the intuition.

Assume that the long-run level of output is Y=1000Y=1000, which the economy is also at initially in the short-run. Suppose that the consumption and investment functions are, respectivley, C=100+0.8(Y−T¯),I=100−2000r,C=100+0.8(Y−T¯),I=100−2000r, that is, MPC is 0.8. Furthermore, the LM (money market equilibrium) curve is M¯P=Y200i.M¯P=Y200i. The government is currently implementing a policy G¯=80,T¯=50G¯=80,T¯=50, and the central bank (CB) is supplying M¯=1000M¯=1000. Expected inflation is πe=0πe=0. Derive the IS curve. It should be written in the form Y=A−BiY=A−Bi, that is, you only need to solve for the values of A=A=Answer and B=B=Answer.

IS-LM model is defined via seven equations given below: C =15+0.8(Y -T) T = -25+ 0.25Y I = 65 – R G=94 X = 50– 10-0.1Y L = 5Y – 50R M =1500 C: Consumption, Y: Income, T: Tax, I: Investment, R: Interest Rate, G: Government Expenditure, X: Net Exports, L: Money Demand and M: Money Supply. Solve this system for Y and R in the matrix format by reducing it to IS and LM equations. Calculate government and trade deficits. Note that IS-LM structure is based on Y and R.

How will planned investment spending change as the following events occur? a) The interest rate falls as a result of Federal Reserve policy. b) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decrees that corporation must upgrade or replace their machinery in order to reduce their emissions of sulfur dioxide. c) Baby boomers begin to retire in large number and reduce their savings, resulting in higher interest rates.

Consider the Keynesian consumption function Yt =B₁ + B₂x2+ + Et ( where y, is per capita consumption, and x2+ is per capita income. The coefficient ₂ is interpreted causally as the marginal propensity to consume, and we expect 0 < ₂ < 1. At the same time, X2t = Yt + Z2t where Z2, denotes per capita investment. Assume for now that investment is exogenous and Cov(Et, 22t) = E[EtZ2+] = 0 Darixe, the: show steps reduced form X2t Yt = = B₁ 1- B₂ B₁ 1-₂ + + 1 1-₂ B₂ 1-₂ -Z2t + -Z2t + ( 1 1- B₂ 1 1-₂ -Et -Et
