HINTS: Recall the Fisher relationship where (1+i) = (1+r)(1+pe), where i is the nominal interest rate, r is the required real rate of return before taxes, and pe is the expected rate of inflation.) DLF = I + G - T + NX; I = real investment; NX = net exports G - T = the government deficit (excess of government spending over tax revenues). SLF = S + ΔMs - H; S = private savings; H = desired hoarding ΔMs = change in the money supply (a Federal Reserve action)
