Answer to Problem 6NP

The full employment value of real interest rate is 10% , consumption is 700 , investment is 150 and the price level is 15 .

Explanation of Solution

Given data,

    Desired ConsumptionC=325+0.5(Y-T)-500r
    Desired InvestmentI=200-500r
    Government purchasesG=150
    TaxesT=150
    Full employment outputY¯ =1000
    Money supplyM=6,000
    Real money demandL=0.5Y-1000r

Whereas, the formula used is as under:

Y=Cd+Id+G

Substitute the values from above to the equation, we get:

1000=325+0.5(1000-150)-500r+200-500r+1501000=325+425-1000r+3501000=1100-1000r1000r=100r=0.10

And,

Formula used to calculate price level is as under:

MP=L

Substitute M=6000 and L=0.5Y-1000r , we get:

6000P=0.5Y-1000r6000P=0.5X1000-1000X0.106000P=500-1006000P=400P=6000400P=15

Calculation of desired consumption is as under:

Cd=325+0.5(Y-T)-500r

Substitute, the value of Y=1000, T=150 and r= 0.10, in the above equation:

=325+0.5(1000-150)-500X0.10=325+425-50=700

And,

Id=200-500r=200-500X0.10=200-50=150

Answer to Problem 6NP

The values of the αIS is 0.6,βIS is 0.0005, αLM is zero, βLM is 0.0005 and lr is 1000. for the proposed economy

Explanation of Solution

Given data,

co=325io=200G =150cY=0.5to=150cr=500ir=500

Using these equations,

αIS=co+io+G-cYtocr+irβIS=[1-(1-t)cY]cr+irαLM=l0lr-peβLM=lYly

αIS=co+io+G-cYtocr+irαIS=325+200+150-(0.5×150)500+500αIS=0.6

And,

βIS=[1-(1-t)cY]cr+irβIS=[1-(1-0)0.5]500+500βIS=0.51000βIS=0.0005

Then,

αLM=l0lr-peαLM=01000-0αLM=0

And,

βLM=lYlrβLM=0.51000βLM=0.0005

Answer to Problem 6NP

The value under short run equilibrium for output is 1,000 and real interest rate is 10% .

Explanation of Solution

Given data,

    Desired ConsumptionC=325+0.5(Y-T)-500r
    Desired InvestmentI=200-500r
    Government purchasesG=150
    TaxesT=150
    Full employment outputY¯ =1000
    Money supplyM=6,000
    Real money demandL=0.5Y-1000r

Whereas, the formula used is as under:

Y=Cd+Id+G

Substitute the values from above to the equation, we get:

1000=325+0.5(1000-150)-500r+200-500r+1501000=325+425-1000r+3501000=1100-1000r1000r=100r=0.10

And,

Formula used to calculate price level is as under:

MP=L

Substitute M=6000 and L=0.5Y-1000r , we get:

6000P=0.5Y-1000r6000P=0.5X1000-1000X0.106000P=500-1006000P=400P=6000400P=15

Answer to Problem 6NP

The short-run equilibrium level of output is 1,100 and αIS=0.7 .

Explanation of Solution

Given data,

co=325io=200G = 250cY=0.5to=150cr=500ir=500βLM=0.0005βIS=0.0005P = 15M = 6000

The formula used here is,

αIS=co+io+G-cYtocr+irαIS=325+200+250-(0.5×150)500+500αIS=0.7

Therefore,

MP=600015=400

And,

To calculate equilibrium output the following formula is used:

Y=[αISLM+(1/lr)(M/P)]/[βISLM]

Substitute the values from above:

Y=[0.7-0+(400/1000)]/(0.0005+0.0005)Y=1.1/0.001Y=1100

Answer to Problem 6NP

The government purchases multiplier is 1 .

Explanation of Solution

Formula for purchases multiplier:

dYdG=1/[(cr+ir)(βISLM)]

Given information as calculated above,

cr=500ir=500βLM=0.0005βIS=0.0005

Substitute the above information in the equation:

dYdG=1/[(cr+ir)(βISLM)]=1/[(500+500)(0.0005+0.0005)]=1

1. Suppose that the two nations face the following benefits of pollution, B, and costs of abatement, C: BN = 10, Bs = 7; CN = 5, Cs = 4. Further assume that if the nation chooses to abate pollution, it still receives the benefits of pollution but now must pay the cost of abatement as well. a. Identify the payoffs that accrue to each nation under the four different possible outcomes of the game and present these payoffs in the normal form of the game. b. Recall that the term dominant strategy defines the condition that a player in a game would prefer to play that strategy (in this case either pollute or abate) regardless of the strategy chosen by the other player in the game. Does either nation have a dominant strategy in this game? If so, what is it? c. Identify the Nash equilibria, or non-cooperative equilibria, of this game.
agrody calming Inted 001 and me 2. A homeowner is concerned about the various air pollutants (e.g., benzene and methane) released in her house when she cooks with natural gas. She is considering replacing her gas oven and stove with an electric stove comprising an induction cooktop and convection oven. The new appliance costs $900 to purchase and install. Capping the old gas line costs an additional $150 (a one-time fee). The old line must be inspected for leaks each year after capping, at a cost of $35 for each inspection. a. If the homeowner plans to remain in the house for four more years and the discount rate is 4%, what is the minimum present value of the benefits that the homeowner would need to experience for this purchase to be justified based on its private net sub present value? b. While trying to understand how she might express the value of reduced exposure to indoor air pollutants in dollar terms, the homeowner consulted the EPA website and found estimates provided by…
