Consider the following model of a particular economy:
C= 90 + 0.6YD; YD=Y-T
I=50
G=100
T=100
C is private consumption, Y income, T taxes, I business investment, G government spending
- Solve for equilibrium income in this economy
- Compute the value of the (Keynesian) demand multiplier
- In an attempt to stimulate economic activity to prevent a recession, the government decides to increase its spending by $50. What would be the new equilibrium output?
