Plain-text version

Consider the fixed-price model: C=C₀+c₁(Y-T) with 0<c₁<1; I=i₀+i₁r with i₁<0; Y=C+I+G; money demand M^d=m₀+m₁Y+m₂r with m₂<0<m₁; and M^d=M. In this economy, an increase in G (A) necessarily reduces I. (B) may increase I. (C) reduces I only if m₁ is large. (D) increases I only if m₁ is small.

Also written as: Consider the fixed-price model: C=C_0+c_1(Y-T) with 0<c_1<1; I=i_0+i_1r with i_1<0; Y=C+I+G; money demand M^d=m_0+m_1Y+m_2r with m_2<0<m_1; and M^d=M. In this economy, an increase in G
