What is the equilibrium level of income

Reference no: EM131892966

Assignment: Intermediate macroeconomics

1. Suppose the economy is described by the following equations:

Y = C + I + G
C = 100 + .75(Y-T)
T = 100
G = 150
I = 125

a. What is the equilibrium level of income?

b. At the equilibrium level of income, is Government running a surplus or deficit?

c. Assume the full-employment level income is $1500. (i) How would you characterize this economy i.e. below or above full-employment? Suppose you are asked to recommend policies to improve the state of economy. (ii) What is the appropriate change in G? (iii) What will happen to government budget position is such a policy is enacted.

d. Instead of a change in government expenditure, a change in taxes could be advocated. (i)What is the appreciate change in taxes, and what will happen to government budget

Assignment 2

Use the following model

Y = C + I + G
C = Co + b(Y-T)
I =Io + Iy - IrR
G =Go
T =To
Md = Lo - LrR + LyY
Ms = Mo

Where C0 = Autonomous consumption
b= MPC,
Iy= income sensitivity of investment (Income elasticity of investment)
Ir= interest elasticity of investmen
Lr= interest elasticity of money demand
Ly= income elasticity of money demad
I= investment, G= Government spending, T = Taxes
R= interest rate
Y= GDP
1. Derive IS equation for model
2. Find the slope of the IS curve
3. Find the intercept of the IS curve
4. Derive LM equation for this model
5. Find the slope of the LM curve
6. Find the intercept of the LM curve

If
Co =200
b =0.5
Io =150
Iy =0.25
Ir = 1,000
Go =100
To =100
Lo =200
Mo =340
Ly =0.2
Lr =1,000

1. Find IS curve equation
2. Find LM curve equation
3. Find equilibrium Y and R.
