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 In the macro-model described in Question No. 26 above, an autonomous rise in the inducement to invest (β) 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 In the macro-model described in Question No. 26 above, an autonomous rise in the inducement to invest (beta) will lead to
