Macroeconomic Equilibrium: IS-LM and WS-PS Analysis

IS-LM Model in a Closed Economy

QUESTION 1:

Consider a closed economy defined by the following equations:

  • Consumption (C): 200 + 0.4(Y – T)
  • Investment (I): 150 + 0.1Y – 1000(r + x)
  • Government Spending (G): 250
  • Taxes (T): 100 + 0.2Y
  • Real Interest Rate (r): 0.05 (Set by the Central Bank)
  • Risk Premium (x): 0.02

Equilibrium Output and the IS Relation

To find the IS relation, we start from the goods market equilibrium condition (Y = Z):

Y = [200 + 0.4(Y – (100 + 0.2Y))] + [150 + 0.1Y – 1000(r + x)] + 250
