JNU SIS 2021 Question 26: IS-LM model

Assume that C=c0+c1(Y−T)C = c_0 + c_1(Y - T)C=c0​+c1​(Y−T), where CCC is the Keynesian consumption function, c0c_0c0​ is autonomous consumption, c1c_1c1​ is the marginal propensity to consume (c1<1c_1 < 1c1​<1), YYY is GDP and TTT is taxes. Suppose that taxes increase and money supply increases in such a way that output is held constant in equilibrium. Ceteris paribus, these specific policy changes will generate:

Plain-text version

Assume that C = c₀ + c₁(Y - T), where C is the Keynesian consumption function, c₀ is autonomous consumption, c₁ is the marginal propensity to consume (c₁ < 1), Y is GDP and T is taxes. Suppose that taxes increase and money supply increases in such a way that output is held constant in equilibrium. Ceteris paribus, these specific policy changes will generate: (A) an increase in investment and a decrease in private consumption. (B) an increase in investment and a decrease in government spending. (C) an increase in investment and an increase in private saving. (D) a decrease in investment and a decrease in public saving.

Also written as: Assume that C = c_0 + c_1(Y - T), where C is the Keynesian consumption function, c_0 is autonomous consumption, c_1 is the marginal propensity to consume (c_1 < 1), Y is GDP and T is taxes. Suppose that taxes increase and money supply increases in such a way that output is held constant in equilibrium. Ceteris paribus, these specific policy changes will generate:
