Question 2: Technical Questions in the textbook.
Explain how the aggregate expenditure function shifts in response to changes in each of the following variables:
a. The real interest rate increases.
b. Consumer confidence decreases.
c. Higher taxes are imposed on business profits.
d. The economies of many countries in the rest of the world go into recessions
Question 3:
Given the following variables in the open economy aggregate expenditure model, autonomous consumption (C0) = 200, autonomous investment (I0) = 200, government spending (G0) = 100,export spending (X0) = 100, autonomous import spending (M0) = 100, taxes (TP) = 0, marginal propensity to consume (c1) = 0.8, marginal propensity to invest (i1) = 0.1, and marginal propensityto import (m1) = 0.15,
a. Calculate the equilibrium level of income for the open economy aggregate expenditure model.
b. If there is an increase in autonomous import expenditure from 100 to 200 resulting from anincrease in the currency exchange rate, calculate the new equilibrium level of income andthe value of the multiplier.
c. Compared with the original equilibrium in part a, if the government decides to impose taxes(TP) of 100, calculate the new equilibrium level of income.
Question 4:
