In the Neoclassical model of determination of income in the long run we assumed that aggregate consumption was an increasing function of disposable income, , and nothing else.
Suppose that instead we assume that consumption is an increasing function of disposable income, , and a decreasing function of the real interest rate, . Provide an economic rationale for making consumption a function of the real interest rate. How does this assumption change the national saving function relative to the benchmark model
Using the model developed in (1), use a diagram for the market for loanable funds to describe what happens to national saving, national investment, and the real interest rate when government expenditure increases. Make sure to also explain in your own words the economic intuition of your results.
Assume that the economy is at full-employment equilibrium at point A. Using the
following graph as a reference, calculate the impact of a sudden decline in consumer
confidence that reduces autonomous consumption by $200 billion at the price level Pf.
Assume MPC = 0.5.

- If a firm believes that their relative price has changed, then they will increase their output, since their product is more valuable (in relative price terms). Thus, the output of firms will be Y = Y +x (P - EP) where alpha is the relative increase in work driven by an increase in expected price level Thirty percent of firms can adjust their prices ex-post. If a=1, and the current price level is $200, then draw the SRAS curve around the potential output of $10,000. Then, determine the increase in price above expectation if 40% of firms are sticky-price firms, flexible price firms respond with a=0.02 and Y rises by $2400.arrow_forwardEconomics Suppose that the effects of COVID-19 on the economy can be thought of as a permanent negative productivity shock, i.e., a permanent decrease of the production owing to lower total factor productivity. What does the model predict will happen to the following variables: (1) real interest rate, (2) real output), (3) real consumption, (4) real investment, (5) labor input? For each variable explain why COVID-19 would have the predicted effect.arrow_forwardA number of macroeconomic variables decline during recessions. One of these variables is the GDP. What other variables, besides real GDP, tend to decline during recessions? Given the definition of real GDP and its components, explain the declines in these economic variables which are to be expected.

What factors explain the upward trend in spite of the cycles?arrow_forward
- Assume that people will spend $0.60 of every extra dollar they earn. Further assume that the real interest rate decreases, and this causes gross private investment to increase by $75 billion. Determine the change in aggregate demand.arrow_forwardImagine there is a consumption smoother (also known as a PIH consumer) who expects to live for another 40 years and to work for another 30 years. They just learned that they will receive a one-time bonus from their job $800. how much extra do they consume this year? what is their marginal propensity to consume?arrow_forward"The oil price run - up of 2007 - 08 was caused by strong demand confronting stagnating world production. Although the causes were different, the consequences for the economy appear to have been very similar to those observed in earlier episodes, with significant effects om overall consumption spending and purchases of domestic automobiles in particular. The experience of 2007 - 08 should thus be added to this list of recessions to which oil prices appear to have made a material contribution". Oil price shocks have an evident impact on the short run aggregate supply curve. With the help of a graph demonstrate how rising oil prices affect the SRAS and explain what other factors can cause this shift.arrow_forward
- If investment increases by 24 billion and the economy's MPC is 0 0.5, the aggregate demand curve will shift rightward by _____ billion dollars at each price level.arrow_forwardFor each of the following events, explain the shortrun and long-run effects on output and the price level, assuming policymakers take no action ( Remember SRAS can also shift!!) The stock market declines sharply, reducing consumers’ wealth. (7.5) A technological improvement raises productivity. (7.5)arrow_forwardThe negative relationship between the demand for investment goods and the real interest rate is determined by the fact that more investment reduces the future depreciation. more investment reduces the marginal product of future capital. more investment increases the total supply for current goods. more investment increases the total demand for current goods.
