The current market rate of interest is 10 percent. At that rate of interest, businesses borrow $300 billion per year for investment and consumers borrow $50 billion per year to finance purchases. The government is currently borrowing $150 billion per year to cover its budget deficit. a. Derive the market demand for loanable funds, and show how investors and consumerswill be affected if the budget deficit increases to $250 billion per year. Draw a graphto show your conclusion. b. Assuming taxpayers do not anticipate an increase in the future market rate of interestdue to the increase in budget deficit, show the impact of the increase in the budget deficit on the market for loanable funds. c. How would your conclusion differ if taxpayers fully anticipate future tax increases to offset the increase in the budget deficit? d. Do you think the Ricardian Equivalence is realistic?

Effects of a government budget deficit Consider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget. Real Interest Rate National Saving Domestic Investment Net Capital Outflow (Percent) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 7 40 30 -20 6 35 35 -15 5 30 40 -10 4 25 45 -5 3 20 50 0 2 15 55 5 Given the information in the preceding table, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market. Because of the relationship between net capital outflow and net…
