In the IS-LM model, what is the effect of an increase in government purchases? Draw an IS-LM diagram to illustrate. In this question, it is not necessary to include the FE line. a) What is the effect on output and the real interest rate? b) What is the effect on investment spending? c) If the LM curve had been horizontal, explain how your answers to a and b would have been different.

Consider an economy where the various components of expenditure follow these equations: C = 10 + 0.8Ya I = 500 %3D G = 100 X = 300 M = 0.1Y T = 0.1Y A) Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP in this economy, highlighting what are the values of the Keynesian multiplier and the autonomous components of expenditure. Now assume that aggregate investment is also sensitive to movements of the interest rate: I = 500 – 2,000r %3D The money supply is equal to 1,000 and money demand satisfies the following equation: Ma = 2Y – 8,000r B) Solve for the equilibrium levels of output and the interest rate. Explain why the equilibrium level of output is lower than the one obtained in (a). C) Suppose that the government increases the tax rate to 0.15. Calculate the equilibrium effects of this policy and provide an explanation with the help of appropriate diagrams. D) Now assume that the price level can adjust.

Due to some negative news concerning the impact of global warming on the economy, consumers are becoming more pessimistic about the future to the point of reducing autonomous consumption by 50. What is the immediate impact on income before the economy adjusts to its new equilibrium? What are the economy’s equilibrium level of output Y and interest rate r following the fall in autonomous consumption? Compute the equilibrium level of consumption and investment spending. With the help of the IS/LM graph, carefully explain what happens to the economy following the fall in consumer confidence.
Assume you have the following model of the expenditure sector:AD = C + I + G + NX C = Co + cYD YD = Y - TA + TR TA = TAo TR = TRo I = Io G = Go NX = NXo a. If a change in income by ∆Y = - 800 leads to a change in savings by ∆S = - 160, what is the size of the expenditure multiplier? c. If a change in exports by NX = - 200 is accompanied by a change in consumption by ∆C = - 800, what is the size of the expenditure multiplier?

The propensity to consume tells us by how much consumption changes for a given change in disposable income. To analyze this fact, follow these steps: 5- Go to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) https://fred.stlouisfed.org/. download the series A067RX1A020NBEA and PCECCA since 1999. Make sure all series are in real terms and in comparable units. Compile a single spreadsheet with these series. 6- In the spreadsheet, first compute the annual growth rate of disposable income and consumption for all years in the sample. Then compute the average for the period 2000-2017 for both variables. Finally, construct a demeaned measure of the annual growth rate of disposable income and consumption for all years in the sample. That is, let C t denote consumption in year t. Then, the growth rate of consumption between year t and t−1 is [(C t /C t−1 )−1], denoted by gC t. Now, let gC denote the average annual growth rate in consumption since 2000 . This number will stay fixed and not changing…

Derive the saving function Calculate the equilibrium income level using the aggregate expenditure – aggregate supply approach Sketch the equilibrium income using the aggregate expenditure-aggregate supply approach without scale.
The figure below shows a simple macroeconomic consumption model. The letters N and D indicate curves, the letters T, A, L and Q denote (intersection) points. The "auxiliary triangles" marked in burgundy mean that if the value of the horizontal section shown in them is considered to be 1, the value of the vertical sections is s and r, respectively. It is known that L is 100 and ris 0.75. T 45° A 1 Give the equation of the savings function: S= (use a decimal point and 2 decimals if needed, and write capital letters as an unknown variable) How much is the value of A on the X axis?
. Consider an economy in which autonomous consumption, planned autonomous investment, autonomous government expenditure, autonomous taxes, and the marginal propensity to consume are given (there are no net exports). Autonomous consumer spending = $3,000 Ip = $5,000 G = $3,000 T = $4,000 MPC = .75 What is the level of actual investment [Actual investment includes both planned and unplanned inventory changes. Hint: Compare Y and C + I + G at the level of income in part (a)] if Y = $19,000? What is the level of unintended or unplanned inventory investment?
In a hypothetical economy, no investment projects are undertaken when the real interest rate is 12 percent or above, 40 projects worth $1 million each are undertaken when the real interest rate is 10 percent, and 40 more projects worth $1 million each are undertaken every time the real interest rate falls by 2 percent until it reaches a value of zero. a.
