4. (Appendix 9.B) In some macroeconomic models, desired investment depends on both the current level of output and the real interest rate. One possible rea son that desired investment may depend on output is that, when current production and sales are high, firms may expect continued strong demand for their products in the future, which leads them to want to expand capacity.

Algebraically, we can allow for a link between desired investment and current output by replacing Eq. (9.B.10) with d

= − +

I i i r i Y, 0 r Y where iY is a positive number. Use this alternative equation for desired investment to derive the alge braic expressions for the general equilibrium values of employment, the real wage, output, the real inter est rate, and the price level.
