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." The Japanese Economic Review, volume 49, issue 1, (You can obtain a free electronic copy of this article through the university library's website. If you do not know how, please ask the librarians.) Answer the following questions. pages 18-35.
the equilibrium real interest rate in some country is quite low. What could be three possible explanations for this situation?
Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G Y = 6100 G = 1100 T = 1100 C = 1000 + .75(Y - T) I = 1100 - 60r in this economy compute private savings, public savings and national savings Find the equilibrium interest rate Now suppose that G rises to 1200. Compute private savings, public savings and national savings. Find the new equilibrium interest rate.
Let's say that due to political turmoil in the US and abroad, people all over the world start to lose confidence in American securities. Both Americans and foreigners prefer to do their financial investment elsewhere. As a result, we'd expect the supply of loanable funds to shift to the right and the real interest rate to fall the supply of loanable funds to shift to the left and the real interest rate to rise the supply of bonds to shift to the right and the real interest rate to fall the supply of bonds to shift to the left and the real interest rate to rise
Which of the following are part of Keynes' critique of the loanable funds model? Choose all that apply. Saving is a passive residual of income, not a function of interest rates Savings drives investment, not the other way around Investment is a function of income, not of interest rates Investment decision are made facing a fundamental uncertainty about the future Saving does not equal investment at the macroeconomic equilibrium Investment is determined by expectations of the future and expected profitability, not the pool of savings available to be lent or interest rates
Which of the following would result in an increase in the equilibrium real interest rate and a decrease in the quantity of loanable funds in the loanable funds framework? Group of answer choices The tax code is reformed to encourage greater investment. The tax code is reformed to encourage greater saving. The government starts running a budget deficit. The tax code is changed in a way that discourages investment.
Suppose the incoming Biden administration permanently increases taxes and government purchases by equal amounts. 1)What will be the impact (if any) on output in the short run? 2)What will be the impact on the economy’s normal real interest rate (r*) and normal investment (I*, which is the same as normal saving, S*)?
Consider the following functions for consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Compute private, public, and national savings for this economy, and find the equilibrium real interest rate (r). Assume that G declines by 500 units. How will it change your answers in part (a)? What happens to the national savings, given everything else, if the public decides to consume less out of their disposable income (assume that the propensity of consume falls by 10 percent)? Given your answer in part (c), what happens to investment and real interest rate? Answer all four.
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?
