What is the Nominal and Real GDP for 2022, 2022, and 2022, with 2022 as base year. (show your work
3、in detail) Nominal GDP: 2022:101002050=2000 2022:121202555=2815 2022:151353070=4125 Real GDP 2022: 101002050 = 2000 2022: 1012020552300 2022: 1013520702750 b. What is the GDP deflator for 2022, 2022, and 2022? 2022 GDP deflator：2000/2000*100=100 2022 GDP deflator：2815/2300*100=122.4 2022 GDP deflato
4、r：4125/2750*100=150 c. What is the percentage change of GDP deflator from 2022 to 2022, and from 2022 to 2022? Percentage change of GDP deflator from 2022 to 2022: 22.4% Percentage change of GDP deflator from 2022 to 2022: 22.5% d. What is the Consumer Price Index for 2022, 2022, and 2022, with 2022
5、 as base year? (show your work in detail) 2022: 10*100+9*20=1180; 1180/1180*100=100 e. What is the rate of inflation for 2022 and 2022? 2022-2022: 35.6% 2022-2022: (186.4-135.6)/135.6=37.5% 2022: 12*100+20*20=1600; 1600/1180*100=135.6 2022: 15*100+35*20=2200; 2200/1180*100=186.4 2. Suppose the gover
6、nment increases taxes and government purchases by equal amounts. What happens to the interest rate and investment in response to this balanced budget change? Does your answer depend on the marginal propensity to consume? T = G S = Y T C(Y T) + (T G) S = -T MPC (-T) + (T - G) (C = MPC*(Y-T) = MPC (-T
7、) = -T + MPC*T + 0 = (MPC 1)* T 0 The above expression tells us that the impact on saving of an equal increase in T and G depends on the size of the marginal propensity to consume. The closer the MPC is to 1, the smaller is the fall in saving. For example, if the MPC equals 1, then the fall in consu
8、mption equals the rise in government purchases, so national saving Y C(Y T) G is unchanged. The closer the MPC is to 0 (and therefore the larger is the amount saved rather than spent for a one-dollar change in disposable income), the greater is the impact on saving. Because we assume that the MPC is
9、 less than 1, we expect that national saving falls in response to an equal increase in taxes and government spending. The reduction in saving means that the supply of loanable funds curve shifts to the left in Figure 3-3. The real interest rate rises, and investment falls. 3. If consumption relies o
10、n interest rate, what does saving curve look like? Whats the impact of an increase in investment demand on the equilibrium interest rate and investment? Whats the impact of an increase in government spending on interest rate, C, and I? Use graphs to explain your answers. If consumption depends on th
11、e interest rate, then these conclusions about fiscal policy are modified somewhat. If consumption depends on the interest rate, then so does saving. The higher the interest rate, the greater the return to saving. Hence, it seems reasonable to think that an increase in the interest rate might increas
12、e saving and reduce consumption. Consider what happens when government purchases increase. At any given level of the interest rate, national saving falls by the change in government purchases, as shown in Figure 3-7. The figure shows that if the saving function slopes upward, investment falls by les
13、s than the amount that government purchases rises by; this happens because consumption falls and saving increases in response to the higher interest rate. Hence, the more responsive consumption is to the interest rate, the less government purchases crowd out investment. Consider what happens when in
14、vestment demand increases. At any given level of the interest rate, investment demand increases, the investment curve shifts to the right, as shown in Figure 39. The figure shows that if the saving function slopes upward, investment increases and the interest rate increases. 4. Consider a Cobb-Dougl
15、as production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number of machines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of college degrees among the workers). The production function is : a) Derive an expression for the marginal product of labor. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect the marginal product of labor? b) Derive an expression for the marginal product of h
