A simplified economy is specified as follows:

A. Goods market, all values C, I, G and NX values are in billions of C$:

Consumption Expenditure: C = 150 + 0.8(Y-T)Investment Expenditure: I = 1,300 - 420iGovernment Expenditure: G = 340Lump-sum Constant Taxes: T = 340Exports: 90Imports: 10


B. Money market, all Md values are in billions of C$:

Interest Rate: i = 0.09 or 9%Money Demand: Md = 780 - 1,900i


Note: Please keep your answers accurate to two decimal places.

a) Given the above information, solve for the following: the equilibrium Y, the money supply M, the consumption expenditure C, and the investment expenditure I.

Y = 0M = 0C = 0I = 0


Now suppose there is an impending federal election, and the government promises to use fiscal policies to stimulate the economy.

b) Find the value of the goods market multiplier.

Goods market multiplier = 0


c) Let G rise to 420. Solve for the new equilibrium Y and C.

Y = 0C = 0


d) Demonstrate how the increase in G affects the economy through the multiplier. Use three rounds of effects to demonstrate the multiplier effects. Let the first round be related to health care spending, the second round related to clothing, and the third round related to food.

Round 1 -> As the government wants to spend $1 (or $1 billion)

on health care, it demands the production of health care equipment

such as hospitals, medicine, equipment, etc. to be built and sold to

the government. So as ΔG = 1, the production ΔY =

0

. This Y is the

income to the nurses, doctors, construction workers, etc.

Round 2 -> As the nurses receive their new income of Y =

0

, theyspend

0

% of this $

0

on clothing ->

0

cents worth of clothing wouldbe produced, or ΔY =

0

-> this

0

cents would be the income of the

workers involved in making the clothing.

Round 3 -> As the clothing workers receive their new income of

Y =

0

, they spend

0

% of this

0

cents on food -> (

0

)(

0

) =

0

or

0

cents worth of food would be produced, or ΔY =

0

-> this would

be the new income to the food workers.


e) Now consider monetary policies only. Suppose the BOC wants to drop the i to 0.04 or 4%, with G still at $340. Solve for the new I and the ΔI compared to when i = 0.09. Given the multiplier, how much would you expect Y to rise by?

I = 0Change in I = 0Change in Y = 0


f) Given the changes in (e), find the equilibrium Y, the money supply M, the consumption expenditure C, and the investment expenditure I.

Y = 0M = 0C = 0I = 0


g) Complete the following statement to demonstrate how the drop in i affects the money supply, then I, then Y, then C.

As i decreases -> ΔM (Select One) -> ΔI (Select One) -> ΔY (Select One) -> ΔC (Select One)

(1) If the Congress and the President want to keep real GDP at its potential level in 2017, should they use an expansionary policy or contractionary policy? In your answer, be sure to explain whether Congress and the President should increase or decrease government purchases and taxes.

(2) If the Congress and the President are successful in keeping real GDP at its potential level in 2017, state whether each of the following will be higher, lower, or the same as it would have been if they had taken no action. (Note: you are comparing the variables at the new equilibrium point with the ones at the old equilibrium point in which the policy hasn’t been implemented.)

Home’s demand curve for wheat is D= 80 – 2P and its supply curve is S= 2P - 20. Foreign’s demand curve for wheat is D*= 80– 4P* and its supply curve is S*= 6P*- 30. You should very carefully draw each demand and supply curve, since your answers below must be reasonably close to correct. A small featureless graph will not be sufficient.

Now suppose Home imposes a quota of 20 on wheat imports. Quota rights are given to the Foreign government to give to its firms.

(c) What is the resulting equilibrium price of wheat in each country?

(d) Carefully graph the changes in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue in each country due to the quota.

(e) What tariff leads to the same outcome as (d)?

(f) Carefully graph the changes in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue in each country due to the tariff in (e)?

(g) How can the Home government change the way quota rights are assigned so that the outcome in (e) is the same as (f)?

In August of 2015, the Chinese central bank decided to reduce that nation's required reserve-deposit ratio from 18.5 percent to 18 percent. Assuming no change in the amount of cash held by the Chinese public, that commercial banks lend all their excess reserves, and that bank reserves was a constant 4,329 billion yuan both before and after the change.

a. The value of Chinese banks deposits was billion yuan before this change in the reserve-deposit ratio and billion yuan after the change.

b. Therefore the total change in deposits as a consequence of the change in the reserve-deposit ratio was billion yuan.

c.

An economy is described by the following equations:

C = 2,600 + 0.8 (YT) – 10,000r
IP = 2,000 – 10,000r
G = 1,800
NX = 0
T = 3,000

Suppose that land is specific to corn, capital is specific to automobiles, labor is mobile between sectors, and payments are as follows:
Automobiles: Sales revenue = 200; payments to labor = 100; payments to capital = 100
Corn: Sales revenue = 100; payments to labor = 40; payments to land = 60
Holding the price of automobiles constant, suppose the increase in the price of corn is 20% and the increase in the wage is 10%.
What is the impact of this on the income of land and the income of capital? What has happened to the real income of land? What has happened to the real income of capital? What has happened to the real income of labor?

Suppose there are two countries A and B, and they produce good X and Y. Assume perfect competitive market and labor is the only factor of production. Answer following questions based on David Ricardo's comparative advantage model.

In country A, 2 laborers are required to produce one unit of good X and three laborers are required to produce one unit of good Y. In country B, five laborers are required to produce one unit of good X and six laborers are required to produce one unit of good Y. Both countries have 150 laborers respectively.

(2) what is the relative price range in free international trade which is beneficial to both countries in (Px/Py) and (Py/Px)?

(3) Show the wages in each country both in terms of both good X and good Y.

(4) Suppose free international trade equilibrium relative price is set at (Py/Px)=4/3. Draw export supply curve and import demand curve for both countries in good X and in good Y. You may assume equilibrium quantity of your choice.
