The long-run upward trend in real GDP is due to increases in the labor force and capital stock, and advances in technological knowledge.61.Most economists believe that in the long run, real variables are not affected by nominal variables. So, forexample, changes in the money supply do not change real variables in the long run. However, mosteconomists believe that nominal variables to do change real variables in the short run.62.As consumers become pessimistic about the future of the economy, they cut their expenditures so thataggregate demand shifts left and output falls. The president and Congress could adjust fiscal policy to increase aggregate demand. They could either increase government spending, or cut taxes, or both.63.The fiscal policy lags are mostly a matter of waiting to implement the policy. By the time the president andCongress can agree to and pass legislation changing expenditures or taxes, the recession may have ended.The Federal Reserve can act to change the money supply quickly, but it may take some time before the effects of an increase in the money supply work their way through the economy.。

Increases in the money supply cause the aggregate demand curve to shift right. Output growth puts downward pressure on the price level, but money supply growth contributes to rising prices.62.The wealth effect is not very important because it operates through changes in the real value of money, and money is only a small fraction of household wealth. So it is unlikely that changes in the price level will lead to large changes in consumption spending through this channel. The exchange-rate effect is not very important in the United States because trade with other countries represents a relatively small fraction of U.S. GDP.63. If the interest rate is above equilibrium, there is an excess supply of money. People with more money than they want to hold given the current interest rate deposit the money in banks and buy bonds. The increase in funds to lend out causes the interest rate to fall. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of money demanded increases, which tends to diminish the excess supply of money.64. a) 税收减少增加了储蓄的收益、减少了投资的成本,但税收减少对储蓄和投资的影响要视情况而定。

求:(1)IS和LM方程;(2)总需求函数;(3)总供给和总需求均衡时的国民收入和价格水平。
宏观经济学试卷一答案一,名词解释1、凯恩斯主义凯恩斯主义指英国经济学家凯恩斯对宏观经济运行和治理的一系列观点,以及后来一些经济学家对这套理论的补充和完善。
其主要观点包括名义工资和价格调整具启刚性、消费和储蓄都収决于收入、利率山货币的供给和需求决定、货币是影响宏观经济运行的重要因素等,进而指出宏观经济运行存在缺陷,容易陷入困境,应该通过经济政策来进行调节。
凯恩斯主义在很长一段时间内都是主流的宏观经济理论,对政府采取经济政策以促进经济发展起过重要的指导作用,现在仍然具有相当的影响力。
2、国内生产总值国内生产总值指一国经济体在-段时期内(通常指一年)生产的所有最终产品和劳务的市场价值总和。
国内生产总值是最重要、最广泛的宏观经济变量,是分析一国经济发展速度的重要依据,也是比较不同国家发展水平的主要变量。
其核算方法主要有支出法、收入法和生产法三种。
3、流动性陷阱流动性陷阱是指利率很低的时候,人们和信利率不可能再下降,只可能向上升,此时债券的价格很高,货币的投机性需求变得无限大,即不管货币供给增加多少,都会被公众手头持有, 而不会用以购买债券。
因为这种情况是由凯恩斯最先提岀来的,所以也称为“凯恩斯陷阱”。
4、托宾q理论q理论是由诺贝尔经济学奖获得者詹姆斯?托宾提出的,这个理论把投资支出与股票市场联系起來,认为金业可以通过考察其已有资本在股票市场上的价值以及重新置办这些资本所需要的成本,來进行投资决策:如果资产的市场价值人于重證成本,企业应该进行投资,如果资产的市场价值小于重置成木,企业应该停止投资。
5、挤出效应如果政府采取积极的财政政策、增加财政支出,会促使市场利率提高,增加投资成本,这会导致私人部门投资减少,即政府支出在一定程度上对私人投资形成了挤出,这种效应就称为挤出效应。
挤出效应是影响财政政策效力的重要因素,具效应人小取决于货币需求的收入系数和投资对利率的敏感程度。
如果货币需求的收入系数越高,或者投资对利率越敏感,则挤出效应就越人,相应地财政政策的效力就越小;反Z,如果货币需求的收入系数越低,或者投资对利率越不敏感,则挤出效应就越小,财政政策的效力就越人。

If an individual or company is not confident that claims over property or over the income from property can be protected, or that contracts can be enforced, there will be little incentive for individuals to save, invest, or start new businesses. Likewise, there will be little incentive for foreigners to invest in the real or financial assets of the country. The distortion of incentives will reduce efficiency in resource allocation and will精品文档reduce saving and investment which in turn will reduce the standard of living.57. a. A municipal bond, because generally they have low credit risk and are notsubject to federal income tax.b. A junk bond. Because of their high risk, they have a high return.c. A corporate bond that isn't a junk bond.

Over time technological advances cause the long-run aggregate supply curve to shift right. Increases in the money supply cause the aggregate demand curve to shift right. Output growth puts downward pressure on the price level, but money supply growth contributes to rising prices.62.The wealth effect is not very important because it operates through changes in the real value of money, and money is only a small fraction of household wealth. So it is unlikely that changes in the price level will lead to large changes in consumption spending through this channel. The exchange-rate effect is not very important in the United States because trade with other countries represents a relatively small fraction of U.S. GDP.63. If the interest rate is above equilibrium, there is an excess supply of money. People with more money than they want to hold given the current interest rate deposit the money in banks and buy bonds. The increase in funds to lend out causes the interest rate to fall. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of money demanded increases, which tends to diminish the excess supply of money.64. a) 税收减少增加了储蓄的收益、减少了投资的成本,但税收减少对储蓄和投资的影响要视情况而定。

He believed that people would continue to populate the earth until output reached a subsistence level. On the other hand Kremer argues that population growth increased productivity allowing people to improve their standard of living despite growing population. Kremer argues that with more population comes more innovations. The improvements in technology more than offset any adverse impact of the increase in population on the standard of living.57. As shown in the graph below, the economy starts in equilibrium at point E0 with interest rate r0 and equilibrium quantity of saving and investment at q0. If the government succeeds in obtaining a surplus, there will be more public saving in the economy at each interest rate, and the supply of loanable funds curve will shift from S0 to S1. The new equilibrium will be at E1, with a lower interest rate, r1 and a higher quantity of saving and investment, q1. Hence, if the federal government succeeds in having a surplus, interest rates will fall and investment will increase.Market for Loanable Funds58. 1. Prices rise when the government prints too much money.2. There is a short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.59. Inflation-indexed bonds are bonds whose interest and principal payments are adjusted upward for inflation, guaranteeing their real purchasing power in the future.They are important because they provide a safe, inflation-proof asset for savers and they may allow the Treasury to borrow more easily at a lower current cost.60. Examples in the text (or variations) include increased immigration, a decrease in the minimum wage, more generous unemployment insurance, an increase in the capital stock, an increase in the average level of education, a discovery of new mineral deposits, technology, and removal of barriers to international trade.61.See graph.Over time technological advances cause the long-run aggregate supply curve to shift right. Increases in the money supply cause the aggregate demand curve to shift right. Output growth puts downward pressure on the price level, but money supply growth contributes to rising prices.62. The reduction in the money supply raises the interest rate. So the return on bonds increases relative to the return on stocks. The increase in the interest rate also causes spending to fall so that revenues and profits fall making shares of ownership in corporations less valuable.63.The fiscal policy lags are mostly a matter of waiting to implement the policy. By the time the president and Congress can agree to and pass legislation changing expenditures or taxes, the recession may have ended. The Federal Reserve can act to change the money supply quickly, but it may take some time before the effects of an increase in the money supply work their way through the economy.64. 当政府支出30亿美元购买警车时,直接投资增加警车生产企业的利润,这种增加又使该企业雇佣更多工人,并增加生的。

Instructions.Please choose any two of the following questions.If you provide answers to all of them,only the best two will be graded.Good luck!
1.Perfect Foresight Monetary Economy.Consider an economy inhabited by an in finite sequence of overlapping generations with constant population.Each generation live for two periods.Households work for the first period of their life and retire in the second.We assume inelastic labor supply,which is normalized to unity.There is no asset available for households to save their earnings,except MONEY.So,their intertemporal choices solve
max {c y t ,c o t +1}
log c y t +βlog c o t +1,subject to
p t c y t =p t w t −m d t ,
p t +1c o t +1=m d t ,
where c y t and c o t +1denote consumption of young and old households at time t and
t +1,respectively.p t and w t are the price of consumption good and the wage rate,respectively.m d t is the demand of money.β∈(0,1)denotes the discouting factor.Finally,we assume that households have perfect foresight on future variables.
(a)Solve the money demand equation and discuss the e ffect of prices on the demand of money.
(b)Assume that the supply of money m s t is a constant M .Then,write down the de finition of the equilibrium of this simple monetary economy and characterize the sequence of equilibrium prices.
(c)Assume again that m s t =M .Show that the equilibrium prices are countercycli-cal (HINT:the output of this economy is equal to w t ).Discuss the underlying mechanism of this seemingly counterintuitive result.
(d)Suppose that the objective of a government is to stablize prices.Characterize the corresponding "optimal"monetary policy (HINT1:what kind of adjustment should the government make to the sequence of money supply.HINT2:there is an interaction between household and government choices).
plete Market with Heterogenous Agents.Consider a pure endowment economy
with two consumers,A and B,who live for T periods.Their preferences are given by
E0T−1
X t=0βt u(c i t),
where c i t is consumption of households i at time t,i∈{A,B}.β∈(0,1)denotes the discouting factor,u0(·)>0and u00(·)<0.The stochastic process{s t}is i.i.d. (independently and identically distributed).For t=0,s0=0.For each period t≥1, s t=1with probablityπand s t=0with probability1−π.If s t=1,then the income of A and B is equal to w1A and w1B;respectively.If s t=0,then they are equal to w0A and w0

,respectively.Finally,markets are complete.
(a)Define a competitive equilibrium with time-0trading for this economy.
(b)Assume that T=3,β=0.5,u(c)=log(c),π=0.5,w1A=1,w1B=2,w0A=1,
w0B=0.Solve for the competitive equilibrium allocation and prices.
(c)Define a competitive equilibrium with sequential trading for this economy,assum-
ing that each consumer is endowed with zero assets in period0.
(d)Assume again the conditions in(b).Solve the price of the Arrow securities.
(e)Derive the price of a(one period)riskless bond in this economy.
3.Recursive Equilibrium.Consider an economy inhabited by a continuum of homoge-
neous households with a unit mass.Households are infinitely lived.Their labor supply is inelastic and normalized to unity.Denote k and K the individual capital and the aggregate capital,respectively.Then,the household intertemporal problem can be written as follows.
v(k,K)=u(c)+βv(k0,K0),
subject to
c+k0=(1+r)k+w,
K0=H(K),
where c,r and w denote consumption,the interest rate and the wage rate,respectively.
H(·)is the law of motion of aggregate capital.x0denotes variable x in one period ahead.β∈(0,1)denotes the discouting factor,u0(·)>0and u00(·)<0.The production technology is Cobb-Douglas:
F(K)=AKα,
where A denotes TFP andα∈(0,1)is the capital output elasticity.Assume competi-tive factor markets and100%capital depreciation.
(a)Write down the factor price equations.
(b)Provide the definition of the recursive equilibrium.
(c)Assume logarithm utility.Solve the explicit form of H(K)(HINT:backward
solution plus guess-and-verify).
(d)Assume logarithm utility.Pin down the steady state aggregate capital stock K∗.
