- Problem Set 4: Saving and Investment Economists in Fantasialand, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 9000; C = 6000; T = 1500; G = 1700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3300 - 100r, where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage (i.e. r = 1 means interest rate is one percent).
