Answer to Problem 3NP

The equation for IS curve will be Y=1500-1666.67r .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

    ConsumptionC=388+0.4(Y-T)-600r
    InvestmentI=352-400r
    Government purchasesG=280
    TaxesT=300
    Full employment output Y¯ =1400
    Money supplyM=12,600
    Real money demandL=1,750+0.75Y-8,750(r+πe)
    Expected inflationπe=0.02

The IS curve equation in the following manner:

  Y=Cd+Id+G

Substitute values from above,

  C=388+0.4(Y-T)-600rI=352-400rG=280T=300

Then,

  Y=388+0.4(Y-300)-600r+352-400r+280Y=388+0.4Y-120-600r+352-400r+280Y-0.4Y=388-120+352-1000r+2800.6Y=900-1000r

Or, Y=1500-1666.67r

Equivalently, r=0.9-0.0006Y

Answer to Problem 3NP

The equation for LM curve will be Y=300-11,666.67r .

Explanation of Solution

  MP=L126007=1750+0.75Y-8750(r+0.02)1800=1750+0.75Y-8750r-175225=0.75Y-8750r0.75Y=225+8750r

Or, Y=300+11666.67r

Equivalently, r=-0.0257143+0.0000857143Y

Or, r= -9350+335000Y

Answer to Problem 3NP

The new output level is 1,350 , real interest rate is 9% , consumption is 754 and investment is 316 .

Explanation of Solution

The equilibrium of short run is achieved at a point where the curves IS and LM intersect each other.

Now, we shall equate both the equations,

  Y=1500-1666.67rY=300+11666.67r

On solving these two equations, we get,

  r=0.09 and placing value of r in equation I=352-400r

We get,

  I=316

Then, we get

  Y=1350C=754

d.

To describe: The new output levels, real interest rate, consumption, investment and price level for long run.

Answer to Problem 3NP

The new output level is 1400 , real interest rate is 6% , consumption is 792 and investment is 328 and price level for long run is 6 .

Explanation of Solution

The real interest rate can be calculated as follows:

  Y=1500-1666.67r1400=1500-1666.67r

We get,

  r=0.06

As the price is variable in the long run, the new LM curve can be derived as follows:

  MP=L12600P=1750+0.75Y-8750(r+πc)12600P=1750+0.75Y-8750(r+0.02)12600P=1750+0.75Y-8750r-1750.75Y=12600P-1575+8750r

The results will be as follows:

Substitute value of r=0.06 , in equation I=352-400r

We get,

  I=328

Substitute, given values: Y¯=1400 and T=300 in equation 388+0.4(Y-T)-600r

We get, C=792 and then P=6

e.

Answer to Problem 3NP

The velocity value in the equilibrium of long run is 0.66 .

Explanation of Solution

According to the quantity theory of money;

  M×V=P×Q

Now, substitute the value of M=12,600 and P=6 in the above equation.

We get,

  12,600×V=6×1,400V=0.66

f.

To determine

To describe:

If G=350 and investment (I)=320 , price level (P) = 6 and inflation rate (π)=0.02 , the level of taxes (T) and money supply (M), to achieve this long run equilibrium.

f.

Answer to Problem 3NP

The level of taxes (T) is 425 and money supply (M) is 11,550 , will achieve this long run equilibrium

Explanation of Solution

When I = 320 , the real interest rate, r will be:

  320=352400r400r=32r=0.08

With the proposed conditions, the long run IS curve equation will turn out as follows:

  Y=Cd+Id+G1400=388+0.4(1400-T)-600r+320+3501400=388+560-.04T-600X0.08+320+3500.4T=388+560-48+320+350-14000.4T=170T=425

Now,

  0.75Y=M6-1575+8750(0.08)

Substitute Y=1400 we get,

  1925=M6M=11,550

Richard has just opened a new restaurant. Not being good at deserts, he has contracted with Carla to provide pies. Carla’s costs are $10 per pie, and she sells the pies to Richard for $25 each. Richard resells them for $50, and he incurs no costs other than the $25 he pays Carla. Assume Carla’s costs go up to $30 per pie. If courts always award expectation damages, which of the following statements is most likely to be true?
Difference-in-Difference In the beginning of 2001, North Dakota legalized fireworks. Suppose you are interested in studying the effect of the legalizing of fireworks on the number of house fires in North Dakota. Unlike North Dakota, South Dakota did not legalize fireworks and continued to ban them. You decide to use a Difference-in-difference (DID) Model. The numbers of house fires in each state at the end of 2000 and 2001 are as follows: Number of house fires in Number of house fires in Year North Dakota 2000 2001 35 50 South Dakota 54 64 a. What is the change in the outcome for the treatment group between 2000 and 2001? Show your working for full credit. (10 points) b. Can we interpret the change in the outcome for the treatment group between 2000 and 2001 as the causal effect of legalizing fireworks on number of house fires? Explain your answer. (10 points)
C. Regression Discontinuity Birth weight is used as a common sign for a newborn's health. In the United States, if a baby has a birthweight below 1500 grams, the newborn is classified as having “very low birth weight". Suppose you want to study the effect of having very low birth weight on the number of hospital visits made before the baby's first birthday. You decide to use Regression Discontinuity to answer this question. The graph below shows the RD model: Number of hospital visits made before baby's first birthday 5 1400 1450 1500 1550 1600 Birthweight (in grams) a. What is the running variable? (5 points) b. What is the cutoff? (5 points) T What is the discontinuity in the graph and how do you interpret it? (10 points)
