Using the assumption of the labour market in unit 9, if employment equals 20 000 people and output is 35 000, we can conclude that

A. there is no cyclical unemployment.

B. there is no frictional unemployment.

C. the economy has not reached equilibrium.

D. there is no structural unemployment. 


3. Explain in words how and why the income and interest sensitivities of the demand for real
balances affect the slope of the LM curve.
2. a. Explain in words how and why the multiplier aG and the interest sensitivity of aggregate
demand affect the slope of the IS curve.
b. Explain why the slope of the IS curve is a factor in determining the working of monetary
policy.
Continue with the same equations.
a. What is the value of aG which corresponds to the simple multiplier (with taxes) of
Chapter 10 ?
b. By how much does an increase in government spending of D −−G increase the level of
income in this model, which includes the money market?
c. By how much does a change in government spending of D −−G affect the equilibrium
interest rate?
d. Explain the difference between your answers to parts a and b .
The following equations describe an economy. (Think of C , I , G , etc., as being measured in
billions and i as a percentage; a 5 percent interest rate implies i = 5.)
C 5 0.8(1 2 t ) Y (P1)
t 5 0.25 (P2)
I 5 900 2 50 i (P3)
−−G 5 800 (P4)
L 5 0.25 Y 2 62.5 i (P5)
−−My−
P 5 500 (P6)
a. What is the equation that describes the IS curve?
b. What is the general definition of the IS curve?
c. What is the equation that describes the LM curve?
d. What is the general definition of the LM curve?
e. What are the equilibrium levels of income and the interest rate?
Show from national income accounting that
a. An increase in taxes (while transfers remain constant) must imply a change in net
exports, government purchases, or the saving-investment balance.
b. An increase in disposable personal income must imply an increase in consumption or an
increase in saving.
c. An increase in both consumption and saving must imply an increase in disposable
income.
[ For both parts b and c assume there are no interest payments by households or transfer pay￾ments to foreigners.]
Suppose the economy is operating at equilibrium, with Y0 5 1,000. If the government undertakes a fiscal change whereby the tax rate, t , increases by .05 and government spending increases by 50, will the budget surplus go up or down? Why?
