QUESTION ONE (30 Marks)
Consider a closed economy that is characterized by the following equations:
Y = C + I + G
C = 900 + 0.5(Y − T)
I = 750 − 30r
T = 800
G = 1200
Md = Ms
Ms = 1500
Mt = 0.7Y
Msp = −80r
Where Y is the GDP, C is private consumption expenditure, I is the Investment expenditure, G
is government expenditure, T is tax revenues, Ms
is money supply, Mt
is transaction demand
for money, Msp is the speculative demand for money and r is the interest rate (in % points).
a) Derive (Md⁄P) the demand for real money balances equation (where P is the aggregate price level
