Let the following represent the structure of a small open economy with a fixed exchange rate: C = 40 - 6*r + 0· 8(Y - T) T = 25 + 0· 2Y I_P = 60 - 4*r G = 50 NX = 110 - 0· 04*Y - 20*e (M/P)^D = 0· 2*Y - 5*r M^S/P = 60 e = 2 where C is consumption, Y is output, T is taxes, G is government expenditure, I_P is planned investment, r is rate of interest, NX is net exports, (M/P)^D is demand for real balances, M^S/P is real money supply. Initially, assume that the foreign and domestic interest rates are equal, or that r = r^f. The IS and LM equations in terms of the domestic interest rate r can be expressed as (A) IS: Y = 500 - 50*r and LM: Y = 300 + 50*r (B) IS: Y = 300 - 5*r and LM: Y = 500 + 5*r (C) IS: Y = 500 - 25*r and LM: Y = 300 + 25*r (D) IS: Y = 800 - 15*r and LM: Y = 1000 + 15*r
Also written as: Let the following represent the structure of a small open economy with a fixed exchange rate: C = 40 - 6*r + 0* 8(Y - T) T = 25 + 0* 2Y I_P = 60 - 4*r G = 50 NX = 110 - 0* 04*Y - 20*e (M/P)^D = 0* 2*Y - 5*r M^S/P = 60 e = 2 where C is consumption, Y is output, T is taxes, G is government expenditure, I_P is planned investment, r is rate of interest, NX is net exports, (M/P)^D is demand for real balances, M^S/P is real money supply.
