Question
I have to analyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomic
effects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth. Specifically, I have to suppose that households (consumers) lose confidence and start saving more for any level of disposable income.
Can you plase answer the following question (using graphs where possible):
In terms of total savings and, therefore, of potential long-term growth, is a flat LM curve or a positive sloping LM curve better?

The GDP of Qatar in the same year is 1,121 billion Qatari Riyal. Qatar's desired consumption and desired investment during the year can be summarized by the following equations: cd = 1,000 – 5,000r, || /d = 800 – 3000r, %3D cd is the desired consumption in billions of Qatari Riyal, 7º if the desired investment in billions of Qatari Riyal, and r is the real interest rate in decimal form. where What is the equilibrium real interest rate, r*, in %?

- NEW QUESTION Consider the investment function of the IS model. Suppose that in the long-run 20% of GDP is spent on investment. Moreover, a one percentage-point increase of the real interest rate reduces the share of investment in GDP by one percentage point. Suppose that at some time t the real interest rate is equal to -1% while the rate of return of physical capital (think of it as the marginal product of capital) is 3%. What is the share of investment in GDP at time t?arrow_forwardAnalyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomic effects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth.
