Transcribed Image Text:5. Fiscal policy, the money market, and aggregate demand
Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. The followin
graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD)).
Suppose the government increases its purchases by $3.5 billion.
Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD₂) after the multiplier effect takes place.
Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD₂) is parallel to AD₁. You can see the slope of AD; by selecting it on the following graph.

Money Demand
Suppose that for each one-percentage-point increase in the interest rate, the level of investment spending declines by $1 billion. The change in the
interest rate (according to the change you made to the money market in the previous scenario) therefore causes the level of investment spending to
