Consider first the goods market model with constant investment that we saw in Chapter 3. Consumption is given by C = c0 + c1(Y - T) and I, G, and T are given.
a. Solve for equilibrium output. What is the value of the multiplier for a change in autoomous spending?
b.Now let investment depend on both sales and the interest rate: I = b0 + b1Y - b2i
Solve for equilibrium output using the methods learned in Chapter 3. At a given interest rate, why is the effect of a change in autonomous spending bigger than what it was in part a? In other words, why the multiplier is now bigger?
a. Is the equilibrium level of income higher or lower than it was in problem 1(a)? Calculate
