VI. Here we consider the paradox of saving one last time in the context of the AS-AD model. Suppose the economy begins with output equal to its natural level. Then there is a decrease in consumer confidence, as households attempt to increase their saving, for a given level of disposable income. a. In AS-AD and IS-LM diagrams, show the effects of the decline in consumer confidence in the short run and the medium run. Explain why curves shift in your diagrams. b. What happens to output, the interest rate, and the price level in the short run? What happens to consumption, investment, and private saving in the short run? Is it possible that the decline in consumer confidence will actually lead to a fall in private saving in the short run? c. Repeat part (b) for the medium run. Is there any paradox of saving in the medium run?

The Life-Cycle/Permanent Income Model of Consumption makes a different prediction from the Keynesian Model, about how Consumption reacts to an increase in current income. Which of the following is the best description of the difference? O In the Keynesian Model, consumers will increasktheir spending by the mpc times the increase in income. In the Life-Cycle/Permanent Income Model, consumers will not increase their spending by much unless they believe that the increase in their income is permanent. O In the Life-Cycle/Permanent Income Model, consumers will increase their spending by the mpc times the increase in income. In the Keynesian Model, consumers will only increase their spending if they believe that the increase in their income is temporary. O In the Keynesian Model, consumers will increase their spending by the mpc times the increase in income. In the Life-Cycle/Permanent Income Model, consumers will only increase their spending if they believe that the increase in their income…
Assume in a simple economy that the level of saving is –500 whenaggregate output equals zero and that the marginal propensity tosave is 0.2. Derive the saving function and the consumption func-tion, and draw a graph showing these functions. At what level ofaggregate output does the consumption curve cross the 45° line?Explain your answer and show this on the graph.
Which of the following will NOT shift the ADT curve? O a. A rise in government spending O b. A rise in exports Ос. A rise in interest rates O d. A rise in consumer confidence
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?
Which of the following will NOT shift the ADTT curve? O a. A rise in consumer confidence O b. A rise in interest rates O c. A rise in government spending O d. A rise in exports
Ts assume that in the model of national economy household consumption is C = 300 + 0.9*DI, companies' gross vestment is Ig = 200, but government expenses are G = 250, while the sum of taxes collected by the government iS -150. Taking into account that disposable income DI =Y-T, calculate: a) Equilibrium level of income Y; b) Calculate the value of Marginal propensity to consume and value of Marginal propensity to save; c) Private consumption at macroeconomic equilibrium%3; d) Develop equation of saving and calculate amount of saving at the point of equilibrium level of income.
Consider a basic goods market model where the propensity to consume is 60% of disposable income. If the government wants to increase output Y by 10%, public spending should beScegli un'alternativa: I do not answer increased by 2,5% of Y increased by 4% of Y increased by 10% of Y increased by 40% of Y
Suppose Congress decides to reduce the budget deficit by cutting government spending. a. Use the Keynesian-cross model to illustrate graphically the impact of a reduction ingovernment purchases on the equilibrium level of income. Be sure to label: i) the axes;ii) the curves; iii) the initial equilibrium values; iv) the direction the curve shifts; andv) the terminal equilibrium values. b. Explain what happens to equilibrium income as a result of the cut in governmentspending.
b. From the Intertemporal Choice Model, many theories (non-Keynesian theories ofConsumption) came into being. Using graphical and mathematical expressions, compareand contrast the following theories on consumption behaviours:i. Franco Modigliani: Life-Cycle Hypothesisii. Milton Friedman: Permanent-Income Hypothesisiii. Robert Hall: Random Walk Hypothesis
In each of the following cases, determine whether the IScurve shifts to the right or left, does not shift, or is indeterminate in the direction of shift.a. The real interest rate rises.b. The marginal propensity to consume declines.c. Financial frictions increase.d. Autonomous consumption decreases.e. Both taxes and government spending decrease by thesame amount.f. The sensitivity of net exports to changes in the realinterest rate decreases.g. The government provides tax incentives for researchand development programs for firms
The neoclassical consumption model, a retirement perspective: Consider thespecial case solved in the text where ! = 1 and utility takes the log form.Suppose the real interest rate is 5 percent. Let’s give this consumer a fnancial profle that might look like that of a middle-aged college professor contem-plating retirement: initial assets are ftoday = $50,000, and the path for labor income is ytoday = $100,000 and yfuture = $10,000.(a) What is the individual’s human wealth? Total wealth?
Suppose the economy begins with output equal to its natural level. Then there is a decrease in consumer confidence, as households attempt to increase their saving, for a given level of disposable income. In AS-AD and IS-LM diagrams, show the effects of the decline in consumer confidence in the short run and the medium run. Explain why curves shift in your diagrams. Please please please put a picture of the diagrams! Thank you so much Please give me correct answer with full expalanation and carefullly draw otherwise i give multiple downvote.
