7. Marginal propensity to import and net exports The following graph shows net exports for a hypothetical country. U 50 50 40 20 20 NET EXPORTS (Billions of dollars) 10 10 -10 20 -20 300 400 ⑦? 500 600 700 REAL GDP (Billions of dollars) 0 100 200 13 and According to the graph, when the country is producing a real GDP of $400 billion, exports are function is equal to the than imports. The slope of the net exports and thus tells you that for every $1 increase in real GDP, do not change (because they are assumed to be autonomous with respect to real GDP). by

4. The foreign sector is added to the Keynesian national income model and there is a positive marginal propensity to import. X is the export and Z (in capital letter) is the import and C (in capital letter) is the consumption. Y = C+1+G+ (X – Z) C = c+ bY Z = z + mY Find: (i) The equilibrium level of income, consumption and import (ii) Specify the ranges of b and m and give the economics interpretations (iii) Identify the endogenous and exogenous variables from the model
2. Consider an economy where aggregate demand AD consists of aggregate con- 1000 and government = sumption C 10+ 0.8Y, aggregate investment I spending G = 800. (a) = (c) (d) What is aggregate demand if aggregate income/output is 10,000? Why is the economy not in equilibrium in that state? Calculate the goods market equilibrium for this economy. (b) Assume that the government increases spending by 20%. Calculate the new goods market equilibrium. What is the multiplier for the change in government spending? Assume now that the country starts trading globally and has Exports and Imports. Assume that imports are given by Im = n Y, with n being the marginal propensity to import. (e) Explain why - with exports and imports - a increase in government spending (e.g., 20%) results in a smaller change in aggregate demand/income in equilibrium than without exports and imports. (You do not have to calculate the new equilibrium.)

1. Let us say the estimated equation for the economy's aggregate demand is Y=400 – 15P+ 8G And the estimated equation for the economy's aggregate supply is Y=5+11P-10W where Y is the country's real GDP, P is the price level (GDP deflator), G is government purchases of goods and services, and W is the index of wages. a. If G= 160 and W= 100, find the equilibrium real GDP and the price level in the economy. b. What is the simple multiplier in this economy? Give the number and explain how you figured it out. c. What is the inflation rate due to the government increasing its purchases from G=160 to G= 180 (expansionary fiscal policy), in %? d. What is the value of the multiplier when the price level varies? 2. Imagine an economy in which the slope of the AD curve is equal to the (negative of) slope of the AS curve.
