Document Summary

Ae = c + g + i + g + x m. The sum of the planned amounts of consumption expenditure (c), investment (i), government expenditure (g), and exports (x) minus the planned amount of imports (m) Disposable income equals real gdp minus net taxes (y-t). So if we replace yd with (y-t) the consumption function becomes: Using that equation to replace t in the consumption function, the consumption function becomes: Use the consumption function and the import function to replace c and m in the ae equation. Ae = (a-bta + i + g + x) + [b(1-t) m]y. Ae = a bta + b(1-t)y + i + g + x my. Occurs when aggregate planned expenditure (ae) equals real gdp (y) To calculate: solve the equations for the ae curve and the 45 line for the two unknown quantities ae and y. Replace ae with y in the ae equation to obtain. 1 [b (1-t) m] x a.

Assume that the equations below describe the expenditures within a particular macroeconomy and that these equations conform to the assumptions we've made in the lecture regarding the fixed price level Aggregate Expenditure model. All values for expenditure and income are dollar amounts, but for simplicity, we've dropped the $ below.

C = 0.8(DI) + 1000	C = Consumption expenditure, DI = Disposable Income
I = 2000	I = Investment expenditure
G = 1000	G = government expenditure
X = 1600	X = spending on exports
M = 1800	M = spending on imports
DI = Y - T	Y = real GDP, T = tax revenues/>
T = 1000
Yp = 12000	Yp = Potential GDP

Given the equations above, we can describe the GDP, government budget, and net exports in this economy. Select three characteristics from the list below which accurately describe this economy. Note that there is no partial credit on this question. I.e., your answer will either be all correct, or all wrong.

	a.	inflationary gap
	b.	recessionary gap
	c.	no output gap
	d.	government budget surplus
	e.	government budget deficit
	f.	balanced government budget
	g.	trade deficit
	h.	trade surplus
	i.	net exports of zero
