The Paradox of Thrift: Consider the simple model of the good markets: Y = C +I+G C = Co + C1(Y – T) I = Io – hr G = G T T Saving in the simple model of the goods market is defined as S = Y C – G. (a) Using the goods market equilibrium and the definition of saving, find the pre- dicted change in aggregate savings if cOHISumers decided to save more (Co ). Explain why the effect of an aggregate increase in savings is called a paradox using your answer.

The following four equations relate to an economy. Use them to answer the questions that follow. Product Market: y= c(y-c) + i(r) + g Money Market: ṁ= i(r) + k(y) Production function: y= y(N; Ǩ) Labour Market: p,f(N)= Pe * g(N)= P(p) * g(N) Draw the classical model in the price income (P-Y) space graph and explain what happens when the nominal money supply rises. Assuming a complete and correct adjustment (Pe to P), derive the effect of fiscal policy increase in the government expenditure and explain the differences of the fiscal policy when p=0 and when P=1

However, the labor market is a derivative of the goods market in the Keynesian theory (“principle of effective demand”). Therefore, unemployment is explained by the lack of demand in the goods market. According to the Keynesian theory, what would happen to the unemployment rate if real wages fall? How should unemployment be reduced?
