Suppose, the government of Australia incurs a budget deficit of $50 billion due to increased government spending in 2020 as result of Covid 19. Because of this, the government borrowing in 2021 increases by the same amount.

  1. Show this development using a graph representing the market for loanable funds for Australia[1]. Explain in writing the effect of this on interest rates. .

Graph

Effect on interest rate (1 mark)

  1. Compare the size of equilibrium changes in 1) investment, 2) public saving, 3) private saving and 4) national saving (public saving + private saving) with $50 billion increase in borrowing.
    Compare the changes (increase/decrease) in these variables indicating same, less or more than the $50 billion.

  1. Will the equilibrium quantity of national savings change by more or less than the initial change in public saving? Explain your answer (in 50 words or less)

[1] Make sure to label the variables represented on the X-axis and Y-axis of the graph clearly. Also mark the curves in the graphs clearly indicating what they represent (i.e. demand or supply of loanable funds)

Effects of a government budget deficit
3. Effects of a government budget deficitConsider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget.Screen Shot 2020-10-09 at 3.24.05 PM.pngGiven the information in the preceding table, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use...
