One other factor that affects the Consumption and saving behavior is household Wealth (accumulated savings and inheritance), but our simple Keynesian model doesn’t incorporate this effect. Consider the following model of a very simple closed economy: 1- C= 10 +0.75 Y + 0.6 W 2- I= 200 3- W= 1000 4- Y=C+I 5- S=Y-C,6- AE = Y %3D If you assume that wealth (W) and Investment (I) remain constant (we are ignoring the fact that saving adds to the stock of wealth) then answer the following questions a- What are the equilibrium levels of GDP (Y), consumption (C) and Saving (S)?

Consider a macroeconomic model for an open economy with the government. Consumption is given by C = 250 + bYd, where b = 0.8, Yd = (1-t)Y, and t = 0.1. Investment is given by I = 1,200 – 2,000R, and net export is given by X = 525 – 0.1Y – 500R. Assume that G = 1,200. Money demand is given by (Md/P) = 0.1283Y – 1,000R. Assume that P = 1, and the fixed money supply is given by (Ms/P) = 900. Drive the expression for the IS curve from the model. Drive the expression for the LM curve from the model. Drive the IS-LM equilibrium from the model.
When income is zero within the Keynesian cross model planned expenditure will be greater than zero and the intercept of the consumption function will hence not be zero either. The reason for this feature of the model is that either: The Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) is greater than 0.5 The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is greater than 0.5 Autonomous consumer expenditure depends only on the level of national income Autonomous consumer expenditure does not depend on the level of national incomeOnly one answer can be correct. Please pick one and explain your reasoning.
Currently, the market price for a gallon of ice cream is $5. Now, suppose the federal government requires buyers of ice cream to pay a $2 tax on eachgallon of ice cream sold.
Given the following information on spending in a simple Keynesian model what is the level of autonomous spending? CA = 800 GA = 600 IA = 400 MPC =2/3 XA =500 MA =300

Consider the following short-run, closed economy model of the economy. Goods Market C = 50 + 0.5(Y – T) I = 150 – 10r ; NX = -200 G = 150 ; T = 100 Money Market M = 20,000 P = 100 L(Y, r) = Y – 50r 1. Find the equilibrium values of r and y. *** This has been answered*** Goods Market = 600 - 20r Money Market = 200 + 50r equilibrium value of r = 5.71; Y = 485.8 2. At the equilibrium in part 1, what is the value of national savings (S = Y – C – G)? Investment? Show the results using a graph for the market of loanable funds. Is that market in equilibrium? Explain.
Assume the following information for an economy: Natural level of output = $190b Autonomous consumption = 50 Total investment = 16 Government expenditure = 19 Autonomous taxation = 20 Marginal propensity to consume = 0.6 Based on this information answer the following questions: b) Calculate the output ratio for the economy.

Given a closed economy where there is no public sector. Production in the economy can be described with the following production function: Y = F (K, AL) = Kα(AL)1−α where Y is the productive capacity of the economy, K is the capital stock, L is the labor force, and A is knowledge. Think of AL as a single factor of production where knowledge and the amount of labor are multiplied together. Let's call the multiplier (ie AL) the efficiency of labor. Given that A = 1.5 and saving is a fixed rate of the production, or s = 33%. The capital stock shrinks by 3% per year, while the population grows is nobody Finally, α = 0.4. Answer the following questions based on the above criteria. (a) Show mathematically that the marginal productivity of labor and capital is positive but diminishing. Explain in words and with a picture what the term positive but diminishing marginal productivity means. (b) Show mathematically that saving and investment are equivalent in a closed economy (c) Show…
For the next four questions, assume the economy can be described by the following set of equations: C/Ỹ = 0.4 + 0.8Y (Please note the variable with the coefficient 0.8 is Y tilde. The variable by which C is divided is Y bar, potential output. It is difficult to read the notation.) I/Y = 0.3 – 2(R - F) G/Y = 0.3 C+I+G Y Also assume that F 0.02 and Y 10 %3D This is a complete IS model with a multiplier. You will be given the value of R set by monetary policy in each question. For all questions, enter the answer rounded to 1 decimal place.
