] In the loanable funds market model, assuming everything else is constant, which curve (supply of funds or demand for funds) is affected if there is an increase in national saving? How will equilibrium real interest rate and equilibrium quantity of loans change?
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?
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.
Suppose the government borrows $50 billion more next year than this year. a. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyze this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall? b. What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving? Compare the size of the changes to the $50 billion of extra government borrowing, C, see the attached picture.

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)?
