5. Fiscal policy, the money market, and aggregate demand Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The following graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD] ). Suppose the government increases its purchases by $3.75 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2 ) is parallel to AD1 . You can see the slope of AD, by selecting it on the following graph. 116 A 114 AD 2 112 AD PRICE LEVEL 110 AD 3 108 106 104104 - 102 100 100 105 110 115 120 125 130 135 140 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) The following graph shows the money market in equilibrium at an interest rate of 7.5% and a quantity of money equal to $60 billion. Show the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph. 15.0 Money Supply O 12.5 Money Demand O 10.0 ST RATE Money Supply 7.55.0 Mone Demand 2.5 0 20 4o 60 so 100 120 MONEY (Billions of dollars) Suppose that for each one-percentage-point increase in the interest rate, the level of investment spending declines by $0.5 billion. The change in the interest rate (according to the change you made to the money market in the previous scenario) therefore causes the level of investment spending to be v. After the multiplier effect is accounted for, the change in investment spending will cause the quantity of output demanded to V by v at each price level. The impact of an increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending is known as the v effect. Use the purple line (diamond symbol) on the graph at the beginning of this problem to show the aggregate demand curve (AD3) after accounting for the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending. Hint: Be sure your nal aggregate demand curve (AD3) is parallel to AD1 and AD2. You can see the slopes ofAD1 and AD; by selecting them on the graph
