Question: 1 . ( 2 0 pts ) . = 3 mpc = 0 . 7 5 = 5 c = 0 . 4 = 2

1.(20 pts).
=3 mpc =0.75
=5 c =0.4
=2 d =0.4
=2 x =0.2
=1.5=0
(a) Using the data in the table above, write down the equation for the IS curve.
2
(b) Assuming that, as a result of depreciation of the U.S. dollar, autonomous net exports go
up by 1.5, i.e.,1=3, write down the equation for the new, IS 1, curve.
(c) Plot the IS and IS1 on the same graph. Explain which way the IS curve shifted as a result
of this increase in the autonomous net exports.
2.(20 pts). Consider the information in the table below:
=3 mpc =0.8
=4 c =0.5
=2 d =0.4
=2 x =0.1
=1=1
(a) Given the information in the table above, write down the equation for the IS curve. Assuming
that the MP curve is =4+2, write down the equation for the AD curve.
3
(b) Assuming that because of better bank oversight and more transparency, financial frictions
go down, so that 1=0, write down the equation for the new, IS1, curve. If the MP curve is
the same as in part (a), write down the equation for the AD 1.
4
(c) Plot the AD and AD1 on the same graph. Explain which way the AD curve shifted and why as
a result of this decrease in financial frictions.
3.(10 pts). Suppose real output, Y, is 10,000, and the demand for real money balances is =
-25i.
(a) Find the equilibrium interest rate, i, if the money supply ,
=2,250.
5
(b) Find the new equilibrium interest rate, i1, if the money supply decreases to 2,200, i.e.,
,1
=2,200?(Assume that output, Y, stays the same at 10,000).
(c) Plot the money demand, , the old money supply,
, and the new money supply,
,1
, on the same graph. What happened to interest rate when the Fed decreased the
supply of money?
