A Keynesian economy is described by the following equations. Consumption Cd = 250 + 0.5(Y - T) - 250r Investment Id = 250 - 250r Government purchases G = 300 Government taxes T = 300 Real money demand L = 0.5Y - 500r + πe Money supply M = 3000 Full-employment output Y = 1250 Expected inflation πe = 0 (HINT a: The expected rate of inflation is assumed to equal zero so that money demand depends directly on the real interest rate, which equals the nominal interest rate. Domestic Savings, Sd =Y - C - G. In equilibrium set domestic savings equal to domestic investment, so Sd = Id) Calculate the values of the real interest rate (r), consumption (Cd), and investment (Id) for the economy in general equilibrium.

Provide a Keynesian analysis on the linkage between inflation and employment.Discuss the tools which Keynes argued for as being effective for the governmentto alter aggregate demand
Explain how demand-pull inflation is caused when the economy is at, or near, full employment in the form of a Keynesian diagram (with explanations).
A Keynesian economy is described by the following equations. Desired consumption equation: Cd = 300 + 0.4(Y – T) – 300r Desired investment equation: I d = 300 – 300r Government purchases G = 317 Taxes T = 305 Money demand equation L = 0.4Y – 600(r + πe ) The nominal money supply M = 4428 The expected rate of inflation, πe = 0.03 Full-employment values of output Y = 1305 2 (a) Calculate the values of the real interest rate, the price level, consumption, and investment for the economy in general equilibrium. (b) Now suppose government purchases increase to 347 with no change in taxes. What will be the real interest rate, the price level, output, consumption, and investment in the short run? What will be the real interest rate, the price level, output, consumption, and investment in the long run?
