How can we keep I(Investment) independent of C and G if the increase in MD, caused by an increase in C and G, raises the interest rate?
We can use simultaneous monetary and fiscal expansion. While a fiscal expansion in the form of increase government spending increases G, reduced income taxes increase C. This increases the real GDP but it also raises the rate of interest sales public savings are reduced.
Higher rate of interest has discouraging impact on investment. A monetary expansion can result in declining the rate of interest so that eventually there is no change in the rate of interest in hence, investment remains unchanged and independent of consumption and government spending.

Suppose that i. C=60+.8Yd ii. I=150-10r iii. G=250 iv. T=200 v. Ms=100 vi. Md=40+.1Y-10r b. Write the equations for the IS and LM schedules c. Find the equilibrium values for income (Y0) and the interest rate r0 d. Suppose we change the model in the problem such that investment is assumed to be completely interest inelastic; investment does not depend on the rate of interest and we have I=150 i. Write the new equations for the IS and LM schedules....

A bank panic happens when a. banks fear that loans will be too risky and sharply cut back lending b. many depositors lose confidence and fear that loan defaults will endanger their deposits c. banks fear...
We have discussed stagflation in this course. Explain how stagflation can be caused in an economy. Include an explanation of the shift in the AD-AS diagram that could cause stagflation, and possible reasons for such a shift. Please do not draw graphs - a written explanation is all that is required. (b) Recall our class discussion on the money market, money demand and money supply. Suppose you are studying the money market in an open economy. You now see that...
Intermediate Macroeconomics Given: C= 100+0.9(Y-T) I= 300-200r G= 200 T=200 Ms= 100 Md= 40+0.1Y=10r (The original one has Y=771.428 and r=1.71428) Suppose taxes decreased by 20% and the money supply decreased by 20%. What is the effect on equilibrium income and interest rate. Explain by drawing graph and compare with the original graph.
