Consider a closed economy. The introduction of new technology and an increase in the precautionary saving motives in the private sector will decrease real interest rates and the equilibrium quantity of saving supplied and demanded in this economy.Answer true, false, or uncertain. Please briefly explain your answer.
Suppose government provides tax rebate to small business on their business-related expenditure. Assuming no change in government budgetary position, this policy is likely to have a positive effect on household (or private) saving in the economy (Hint: think about the effect of this policy in Loanable Funds Market) Is this statement true, false or uncertain? Please provide your explaination.
The graph illustrates the demand for loanable funds and the private supply of loanable funds when the government budget is balanced. In the graph, draw the supply of loanable funds curve if the government budget surplus is $0.2 trillion. Label the curve. Draw a point to show the new equilibrium real interest rate and quantity of loanable funds. >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question.
Given the expected relationship between the real interest rate and investment, how would you explain a scenario where investment continued to fall despite low or even negative real interest rates?
Identify how planned investment will change in each scenario. In an effort to reduce constant budget deficits, Congress announces plans to increase the corporate income tax rate. Due to the Congress, planned investment will increase, decrease, or stay the same? A major recession has reduced consumption spending, which has hurt profit levels for Aston-Benz, a high-end car manufacturer. Due to the recession, planned investment will increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Question 7 The country of Kingsland is considering the introduction of a compulsory retirement saving scheme. Under this scheme all workers are required to save ten per cent of their annual wages and salaries until they retire. Use the supply and demand model (and a diagram) for saving and investment to explain the likely effects of this scheme on national saving, investment and the real interest rate in New Holland. Explain the effects on employment of the saving scheme. (You can assume that New Holland is a closed economy).
Consider a closed economy. Let Y denote GDP, C denotes Consumption, I denotes Investment, r is the real rate of interest in percent, T denotes Taxes, and G stands for Government Spending. Suppose that these take the following form: Y = 8,000.C = 600 + 0.8(Y – T) I = 2,000 – 100rT = 500G = 500. a. What is the marginal propensity to consume in this economy? b. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? c. What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving? d. If government spending rises to 1,000, what are the new equilibrium values of C, I, and r? e. What are the new equilibrium values of private saving, public saving, and national saving?
Amid the global pandemic, economic activity in many countries in the world has decreased substantially causing a significant reduction in tax revenues. Mexico projects a budget deficit of $20 billion dollars next year. The government of Mexico borrows $20 billion more next year than this year from the market for loanable funds. Answer both parts below assuming that Mexico is a closed economy. a) Use a diagram for the market for loanable funds to analyze this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall? What happens to investment and national saving? Note: make sure you label your diagram properly. b) Suppose households believe that greater government borrowing today implies higher taxes to pay off the government debt in the future. What does this belief do to private saving and the supply of loanable funds today? Does this change the results you discussed in part (a)?
Compare the ultimate effects of an increase in interest rates in an economy with a low marginal propensity to consume with those in an economy that has a larger marginal propensity to consume? Explain
• Draw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market. Label the equilibrium interest rate r1 and the quantity of loanable funds Qlf1.

Which curve will be affected by the increased government borrowing and which direction will the curve shift? Show the effect on your graph above and label the new equilibrium quantity Qlf2 and the new equilibrium interest rate r2.
