Demonstrate graphically and explain the effect in the bond market of a decrease in the federal
deficit. What is the effect on the interest rate and bond prices? How might capital spending be
affected by the deficit?

2)

Demonstrate graphically the effect of an increase in the personal savings rate. Show and explain the
effect of increased savings on bond prices and interest rates. How would this change affect capital
spending?

)4

During President Reagans administration, his supporters argued that higher real interest rates were
the result of policies increasing the profitability of investment. Reagans critics argued that the high
interest rates were the result of high budget deficits. Demonstrate graphically and explain how
increased profitability of investments and increased deficits affect bond prices and interest rates.
Based on your graphs, is there merit to either viewpoint?

()a

In the liquidity preference framework, demonstrate graphically the effect of a decrease in


the money supply. Indicate on the graph the excess demand or excess supply of money. Explain
the process of adjustment that results in a change in the equilibrium interest rate, and the
direction of the change in rates.

()b

Economists recognize that interest rates are typically procyclical, meaning that interest rates
increase during economic expansions and decline during recessions. Real income and generally
inflation rise and fall with the economy. Using the liquidity preference model of interest rates,
give three reasons why interest rates are procyclical.
