Question 1: Goods and Financial Markets – Extended IS-LM

Problem Statement:

Consider a closed economy in the short run with the following behavioral equations:

  • C = 400 + 0.5(Y – T)
  • I = 200 + 0.1Y – 2000(r + x)
  • G = 400
  • T = 200 + 0.2Y

The Central Bank sets a real interest rate target of r = 0.05 and the initial risk premium is x = 0.03.

(a) Obtain the IS relation and calculate equilibrium

First, we simplify disposable income: YD = Y – (200 + 0.2Y) = 0.8Y – 200.

Substituting this back into the demand function:
