Question:
Consider the following Keynesian economy:
Desired consumption cd = 200 + 0.6(Y - T) - 200r.
Desired investment Id = 300 - 300r.
Taxes T = 20 + 0.2Y.
Government purchases G = 152.
Net exports NX = 150 - 0.08Y - 500r.
Money demand L = 0.5Y - 200r.
Money supply M = 924.
Fullemployment
output Y = 1000.
a. What are the general equilibrium (that is, long-run)
values of output, the real interest rate, consumption,
investment, net exports, and the price level?
b. Starting from full employment, government
purchases are increased by 62, to 214. What are
the effects of this change on output, the real
interest rate, consumption, investment, net exports,
and the price level in the short run? In the
long run?
c. With government purchases at their initial value of
152, net exports increase by 62 at any income and
real interest rate so that NX = 212 - 0.08Y - 500r.
What are the effects of this change on output, the
real interest rate, consumption, investment, net
exports, and the price level in the short run? In
the long run? Compare your answer to that for
Part (b).
