In class we assumed that money demand depends upon income, Md = L(Y, i). However, if people hold money as a medium of exchange it may be that money demand really should depend upon consumption, Md = L(C, i). In other words, if people consume more, they will also want to hold more money. Suppose that consumption, as usual, depends upon disposable income, C = C(Y- T). Money demand will then also, indirectly, depend upon disposable income, Md = L[Cy - 7), i]. True or False: In this case, a tax cut will always increase in the short run

This question has two parts and concerns the permanent income hypothesis. Which statement best defines the permanent income hypothesis? Consumer spending depends on the level of disposable income that people expect to have over the course of their lifetime. When in a recession, although current consumer spending can be observed, future consumer spending cannot be predicted due to an unknown number of people leaving their temporary recession jobs for higher‑paying, permanent jobs that better fit their skills. Consumer spending depends on both the income and wealth of people in the economy. Consumer spending is proportional to the ratio of people in stable full‑time employment (that is, with "permanent" income) and people in unstable part‑time employment (that is, with "temporary" income). According to the permanent income hypothesis, which situations would result in an immediate increase in consumer spending, which would result in an immediate decrease in consumer spending,…
All of the following are reasons that spending on durable goods is volatile except durable goods are long-lived. good substitutes exist for durable goods. high prices make durable goods risky purchases. the purchase of durable goods is not affected by interest rates.
Explain whether each of the following statements is true or false : A). An increase in the ratio of cash holdings to deposits raises the money multiplier. B). If real interest rates become negative, the neoclassical model of investment predicts there is now no limit to how much capital rms want to purchase.
Suppose the incoming Biden administration permanently increases taxes and government purchases by equal amounts. 1)What will be the impact (if any) on output in the short run? 2)What will be the impact on the economy’s normal real interest rate (r*) and normal investment (I*, which is the same as normal saving, S*)?
Which of the following statements is correct? Expansionary gap remedy is a lower interest rate Overvalued currency remedy is a lower interest rate O Overvalued currency remedy isa higher interest rate O Undervalued currency remedy is a higher interest rate
ANSWER BOTH C & D
thanks in advance. YD = Y+TR-TA.
Which answer do you guys think is the correct one?
An economy has a constant population. Everyone’s demand for chequing deposits is5,000 goods in total in every period. The economy has a total endowment of 10,000goods per period. There is a total stock of unintermediated capital of 1,000 goods in each period. Bank deposits are the only form of money in the economy. Deposits of banks are subject to a 20 percent reserve requirement. The net real rate of return on capital is 10 percent per period. After meeting the reserve requirement, banks invest the remainder of all deposits into capital. Individuals do not hold capital. The fiat money stock is$2,000 per period. Capital takes two periods to generate final returns What is this economy’s real GDP? (A)16,050. (B)14,840. (C)11,560. (D)10,000 Can you show your work
Consider the following functions for consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Compute private, public, and national savings for this economy, and find the equilibrium real interest rate (r). Assume that G declines by 500 units. How will it change your answers in part (a)? What happens to the national savings, given everything else, if the public decides to consume less out of their disposable income (assume that the propensity of consume falls by 10 percent)? Given your answer in part (c), what happens to investment and real interest rate? Answer all four.
Home maximizes its lifetime discounted utility subject to the budget constraint it faces, i.e., max U = In C₁ + 0.7 In C₂ such that C₁ + B₂ = 700 C₂ = 700 + (1+r) B₂. Suppose that the autarky (without trade) interest rate r = 0.04 and the world interest rate, or the world equilibrium interest rate r = 0.03. In autarky, consumption in period 1 equals (1) and consumption in period 2 equals (2) With trade, consumption in period 1 equals (3) while consumption in period 2 equals (4) Since the autarky interest rate is (5) than the world interest rate, the relative price of period 1 consumption in autarky will be (6) than its price with trade. In line with the Principle of Comparative Advantage, the domestic economy in period 1 and (8) in period 2. The first-period current account balance is (9) will (7) while the second-period current account balance is (10) Now suppose that both period 1 and 2 incomes decrease by 100. Period 1 consumption will now equal (11) while period 2 consumption will…
