An economy has the following consumption function: C = 200 + 0.8DI The government budget is balanced, with government purchases and taxes both fixed at $1,000. Net exports are $100. Investment is $600. 1) Find equilibrium GDP. (1 point) Calculation Procedure: 2) What is the multiplier for this economy? (1 point) Calculation Procedure: 3) If G rises by $100, what happens to Y? What happens to Y if both G and T rise by $100 at the same time? (1 point) Calculation Procedure:

Text: Question 13 (20 points) Consider the following closed economy: Consumption: C = 325 + 0.5(Y - T) - 500r Investment: I = 200 - 500r Real money demand: L(i, Y) = 0.5Y - 1000i Expected inflation: πe = 0 Money supply: MS = 6000 Full-employment level of output = 1000 Note: In this economy, consumption is not only dependent on disposable income (as we normally assumed) but also on the real interest rate. Interest rates, i and r, are expressed in decimal points, i.e., if r = 0.5, then r = 50%. a) Derive the IS and LM equations as functions of exogenous variables. (4 points) b) The government runs a balanced budget; government purchases (G) and taxes (T) are both equal to 150. Calculate the full-employment values of the real interest rate, price level, consumption, and investment. (6 points) c) Now suppose that government purchases increase to 250 and there is no change in taxes. Assuming that the economy was initially at full employment, what are the new values of output, the real interest rate, price level, consumption, and investment in the short run? In the long run?
