Problem 1 Suppose the system of aggregate expenditures can be described by the following relationships and parameter values. C(Y – T) = 1200 + 0.8(Y – T) I(r) = 100 – 3r G = 200;T = 200; r = 5; Ex = Im = 0 1. In the consumption function, 1200 represents the portion of consumption that is not dependent on disposable income. Suppose something causes households to become concerned about their economic futures and this autonomous consumption falls to 1100. Find the new equilibrium level of Y (output/income).
Consider a closed economy with no government, where aggregate demand is determined by autonomous consumption, investment (which is independent of output), and the marginal propensity to consume. a) Given that autonomous consumption is 20, investment is also 20, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, write out an equation for aggregate demand (AD) in this economy. b) Given this aggregate demand equation, and the equilibrium equation Y = AD, use algebra to find the equilibrium level of Y. (2 marks) c) Draw a diagram with output (Y) on the x-axis and aggregate demand (AD) on the yaxis. Draw two lines on this diagram: (i) Y = AD, and (ii) the aggregate demand function from part (a). Label the intercept of the AD line, and the point where the two lines intersect, with numerical values. d) Suppose that the marginal propensity to consume falls from 0.6 to 0.5. What would the new equilibrium level of Y be? Illustrate your answer in the diagram you drew for part (c). e)…

Read Kiyotaki (1998). Consider the model in section 2 of the paper. Suppose there is no borrowing constraint (i.e., assume is arbitrarily large). Also assume that a = 1.2, B=0.9, y = 1.05, 8 = 0.1, and n = 4. (The notations of variables and parameters follow Kiyotaki (1998). Just in case, & denotes the lower case of Delta in the Greek alphabet.) Reference: Kiyotaki, N. (1998). "Credit and Business Cycles."

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. Assume the natural rate of output is Y̅ = 210, individuals do not hold currency (cr = 0), and the reserve requirement is 10% (rr = 0.1). If the Fed desires to return the economy to its natural level, what should they do with reserves (R) and the money supply (M)? What is the new equilibrium real interest rate?
Suppose we have the following information for the simple (fixed r, fixed P, fixed W) Keynesian model.
