4. What do the IS and LM curves add to our understanding of the
macro economy? How/why is this important to policy formulation.
What concerns would there be in formulating policy?
1) Analyze and explain the IS* and LM * curves in the small open
economy under the fixed and flexible ( floating ) exchange -rate
system. Explain in detail the assumptions of the Mundell-Fleming
Model, its limitations, and explain what occurs to the models
variables as the economy moves from the short term ( when price is
fixed) to the long term ( when price is flexible). Include diagrams
of the appropriate economic models in your answer.
What are diminishing returns to labour, and what consequences do
they have for our understanding of how societies can achieve
sustained economic growth over time?
1. This question is based on our lectures on the IS-LM
framework. Consider the economy given by the following equations: C
= 0:8(1 t)Y t = 0:25 I = 900 50r G = 800 L(r; Y ) = 0:25Y 62:5r M P
= 500 (a) What is general deÖnition of the IS curve? Derive the IS
curve from the above equations.
(b) What is general deÖnition of the LM curve? Derive the LM
curve from the above equations.
(c) Describe...
I do not believe it is in our best interest of our economy for
Congress and the President to run a balanced budget each year. This
is a tough one because it could be good and bad at the same time to
have a balanced budget each year. For example, having a balanced
budget is good for the economy in general but what if a pandemic
such as COVID-19 occurs and we are left with not enough money or
services...
