Question

An economy is described as follows:

 

C = 400 + 0.6(YT)
I p = 200
G = 200
NX = 60
T = 100
Y* = 2,100


a. For the economy described above, find autonomous expenditure, the multiplier, short-run equilibrium output, and the output gap.

Instructions:  Enter your responses as absolute values.

Autonomous expenditure:   800 correct.

Multiplier:   2.5  correct.

Short-run equilibrium output:   2000 correct.

There is a recessionary output gap in the amount of 100 correct..

 SOLVE PART (b)
b.  Illustrate this economy’s short-run equilibrium on a Keynesian cross diagram.

Instructions: On the graph below, use the line tool 'PAE' to draw the aggregate expenditure line using the points at Y = 1,500 and Y = 2,500 only. Then use the point tool 'Short-term eq.' to identify the equilibrium level of income and expenditure.
