Exercise 4. Imports and the multiplier. The consumption multiplier tries to capture the idea that individuals increase their consumption expenditures when their income increases, even when it is only a short-term increase and their life time income didn't change. However, individuals not only consume domestic products but also, they import part of their consumption. Therefore, if domestic consumption reacts to changes in current income, then it is natural to think that consumption of foreign goods should increase as well. For example, when the economy is booming, imports usually rise. To incorporate this channel into the model, suppose the import equation is given by Mt =āmīt + xm Ỹt Ỹt are described by equations in the previous exercise It = āƒŸt — b(R₁ − ñ) Yt, Ct =ācīt + x Ỹt Ỹt. The other categories of expenditures follow the same rules as in class. a) Derive the IS curve for this new specification. b) What is the economic explanation for why the parameter xm shows up in the…

based on macroeconomic theory, one of the following four answers is a correct description of the concept, “expenditure multiplier”. Which one? A/ It is the idea that decreasing national income affects the equilibrium level of GDP by the same amount of that decrease in income. B/ It is the concept that increasing national income affects the equilibrium level of GDP on par with the amount of increased income. C/ The expenditure multiplier is the idea that a given change in spending leads to an equal change in the equilibrium level of GDP. D/ It is the concept that an increase in spending causes a more than proportionate change in GDP.
