DSE 2008 Question 50: IS-LM model

Setup, from Q47 of the paper:

Consider a closed economy with P‾\overline{P}P fixed: Y=C+I+GY=C+I+GY=C+I+G, C=c(Y−T)C=c(Y-T)C=c(Y−T) with 0<c<10<c<10<c<1, I=I‾−drI=\overline{I}-drI=I−dr (d>0d>0d>0), T=τYT=\tau YT=τY (0<τ<10<\tau<10<τ<1), G=G‾G=\overline{G}G=G, money market M‾/P‾=L=aY−bi\overline{M}/\overline{P}=L=aY-biM/P=L=aY−bi (a,b>0a,b>0a,b>0), and i=r+πei=r+\pi^{e}i=r+πe. In ceteris paribus, a unit increase in government expenditure has the following impact on equilibrium income:

(Same model.) Suppose we now allow the general price level to be flexible. Given the above characteristics, the aggregate demand curve (output demanded as a function of the general price level) is

Setup, from Q47 of the paper: Consider a closed economy with P̅ fixed: Y=C+I+G, C=c(Y-T) with 0<c<1, I=I̅-dr (d>0), T=τ Y (0<τ<1), G=G̅, money market M̅/P̅=L=aY-bi (a,b>0), and i=r+π^e. In ceteris paribus, a unit increase in government expenditure has the following impact on equilibrium income: (Same model.) Suppose we now allow the general price level to be flexible. Given the above characteristics, the aggregate demand curve (output demanded as a function of the general price level) is (A) upward sloping (B) downward sloping (C) vertical (D) horizontal

Also written as: Setup, from Q47 of the paper: Consider a closed economy with P_bar fixed: Y=C+I+G, C=c(Y-T) with 0<c<1, I=I_bar-dr (d>0), T=tau Y (0<tau<1), G=G_bar, money market M_bar/P_bar=L=aY-bi (a,b>0), and i=r+pi^e. In ceteris paribus, a unit increase in government expenditure has the following impact on equilibrium income: (Same model.) Suppose we now allow the general price level to be flexible. Given the above characteristics, the aggregate demand curve (output demanded as a function of the general price level) is
