JNU SIS 2018 Question 26: AD-AS model

Consider a short-run complete macro model as specified by the following equations :

I. Y=Y(N,K‾)Y = Y(N, \overline{K})Y=Y(N,K), where YYY is aggregate output, NNN labour and K‾\overline{K}K capital

II. P ∂Y∂N=w(N)P\,\dfrac{\partial Y}{\partial N} = w(N)P∂N∂Y​=w(N) for N<NfN < N_fN<Nf​, where RHS is Keynesian labour supply function and NfN_fNf​ is the full-employment level of labour

III. S(Y,r,α)=I(Y,r,β)S(Y, r, \alpha) = I(Y, r, \beta)S(Y,r,α)=I(Y,r,β) where rrr is interest rate, α\alphaα and β\betaβ are shift parameters reflecting autonomous propensity to save and autonomous inducement to invest and SSS and III are the savings and investment functions, respectively

IV. M‾s=Mdt(PY)+Mds(r)\overline{M}^s = M^{dt}(PY) + M^{ds}(r)Ms=Mdt(PY)+Mds(r), where M‾s\overline{M}^sMs is constant money supply, MdtM^{dt}Mdt is transactions demand for money function and MdsM^{ds}Mds is speculative demand for money function

An autonomous rise in the propensity to save (α\alphaα) will lead to

Plain-text version

Consider a short-run complete macro model as specified by the following equations: I. Y = Y(N, K̅), where Y is aggregate output, N labour and K̅ capital II. P (∂ Y)/(∂ N) = w(N) for N < N_f, where RHS is Keynesian labour supply function and N_f is the full-employment level of labour III. S(Y, r, α) = I(Y, r, β) where r is interest rate, α and β are shift parameters reflecting autonomous propensity to save and autonomous inducement to invest and S and I are the savings and investment functions, respectively IV. M̅^s = M^(dt)(PY) + M^(ds)(r), where M̅^s is constant money supply, M^(dt) is transactions demand for money function and M^(ds) is speculative demand for money function An autonomous rise in the propensity to save (α) will lead to (A) a fall in Y, a fall in P, a fall in N, a fall in r (B) a rise in Y, a fall in P, a rise in N, a fall in r (C) a fall in Y, a rise in P, a fall in N, a rise in r (D) a rise in Y, a rise in P, a rise in N, a rise in r

Also written as: Consider a short-run complete macro model as specified by the following equations: I. Y = Y(N, K_bar), where Y is aggregate output, N labour and K_bar capital II. P (d Y)/(d N) = w(N) for N < N_f, where RHS is Keynesian labour supply function and N_f is the full-employment level of labour III. S(Y, r, alpha) = I(Y, r, beta) where r is interest rate, alpha and beta are shift parameters reflecting autonomous propensity to save and autonomous inducement to invest and S and I are the savings and investment functions, respectively IV. M_bar^s = M^(dt)(PY) + M^(ds)(r), where M_bar^s is constant money supply, M^(dt) is transactions demand for money function and M^(ds) is speculative demand for money function An autonomous rise in the propensity to save (alpha) will lead to
