Consider an economy described by the following
equations:
Y=C+I+G+NX,
Y=8,000
G=2,500
T=2,000
C=500 +
0.75(Y−T)
I=900−50r
NX=1,500−250ϵ
a.
In this economy, solve for private saving, public saving, national
saving, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange
rate.
b.
Suppose now that G is cut to 2,000. Solve for private saving,
public saving, national saving, investment, the trade balance, and
the equilibrium exchange rate. Explain what you find.
c.
Now suppose that the world interest rate falls from 8 to 3 percent.
(G is again 2,500.) Solve for private saving, public saving,
national saving, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium
exchange rate. Explain what you find.
