Assignment:
1. Consider the economy of Hicksonnia.
(a) The consumption function is given by C=300+0.7YD
Where YD is a disposable income defined as
YD = Y - T
T = 0.2Y
Investment function is I = 200 - 1, 500i + 0.04Y
Government purchases is 200. For this economy, derive and graph IS curve.
(b). The money demand function in Hicksonia is
Md P = 0.5Y - 2, 000i
The money supply M is 550 and the price level P is 1. For this economy, derive and graph LM curve.
(c). Find the equilibrium interest rate i and the equilibrium level of income Y. Draw your results.
(d). Suppose that government spending is raised to 300. How much IS curve shift? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income? Draw your results.
(e). Suppose instead that money supply is increased to 600. How much LM curve shift? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income? Draw your results.
