Consider the following: C= 116 + 0.8 (Y - T) - 1000r
I= 140 - 2000r G= 165 T= 30 + 0.25Y
EX= 100; IM= 110 + 0.2Y
L= 5Y - 100000r M= 60000 P= 100 rrr= 0.2
IS: Y = 1/0.6 (387 - 3000r) Y = 645 - 5000r
LM: Y = 1/5 (600 + 100000r) Y = 120 + 20000r
a) If G increases by 30, is it an expansionary, or a contractionary (pick one) fiscal policy? By how much does the IS and LM curves shift and by how much does Y change?
How much is the crowding out effect? Is the budget balanced? If Fed monetizes the additional budget deficit to eliminate crowding out, do they need to buy bonds, or sell bonds?
b) If the Fed purchases securities worth of 2500; is it an expansionary, or a contractionary (pick one) monetary policy? If there is no leakage of excess reserves, then by how much does it change the money supply? By how much do the IS and LM curves shift and by how much does Y change?
