A)
contractionary; increase
B)
contractionary; decrease

(a) Using a basic Keynesian income determination model, describe the effects of the
following changes, assuming that money demand is infinitely elastic:
(i) an increase in government expenditure
(ii) an increase in the marginal propensity to save
(iii) a decrease in export demand
(iv) an increase in the marginal propensity to import
(v) a cut in the official rate of interest by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank
of England
Illustrate your answers with diagrams.
Using the monetarist/new classical model and the Keynesian model, discuss the view that increases in aggregate demand will inevitably be inflationary.

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.arrow_forwardWhy do Keynesian economists believe increasing the money supply is a good idea?
