For the following
problems solve for the equilibrium levels of C, I, T, and X. Also find the budget surplus or deficit, as
well as other variables asked for.
Model 1 - Simple
Keynesian Equilibrium Problem
Let Y = C + I + G + X
C = 1000 + .6Y
I = 800
G = 1000
X = 0
Solve for:
a. the equilibrium level of Y
b. the Keynesian multiplier, k
c. the new equilibrium Y, if G is increased by
200
Model 2 - Keynesian Equilibrium Problem
Let Y = C + I + G + X
C = 1000 + .6(Y-T)
T = 900
I = 800
G = 1000
X = 0
Solve for:
a. the equilibrium level of Y
b. the Keynesian multiplier, k
c. the new equilibrium Y, if T is changed so as
to balance the budget
C = 1000 + .6(Y-T)
T = -500 + .2Y
I = 820
G = 1000
X = 0
Solve for:
a. the
equilibrium level of Y
b. the Keynesian
multiplier, k
c. The recessionary or
inflationary gap if potential GDP is 6200
Let
Y = C + I + G + X
C
= 1000 + .6(Y-T) (where T are taxes)
I
= 800
G
= 1000
X
= 1100 - .18Y (we import 18 percent of marginal income)
T
= -500 + .2Y (Income tax, 20 percent
marginal tax rate)
Solve
for:
a.
the equilibrium level of Y
b.
the Keynesian multiplier, k
c.
the new equilibrium Y, if G is reduced by 70
