    Steady-state interest rates

    Now we will solve for the steady state in a calibration of the US economy in 2000. In this problem, you will assume that the rate of growth of the work force is n = 0.017 and there is no exogenous technological progress. The aggregate production function for the US economy in 2000 is Y = (11.5)K 1/3 L 2/3 . The units are bill

    Change in Autonomous Spending

    Please see attached. --- 2. (A Change in Autonomous Spending) Suppose that when aggregate output equals zero, consumption equals $100 billion, autonomous investment equals $200 billion, government purchases equal $50 billion, and net exports equal $50 billion.

    Relationship between consumption expenditures and inventory
