In a closed economy the following holds:
?Household consumption C is given by the consumptionfunction:
C = 100 + 0.75Yd
?Planned investments are I = 250 (independent of Y ).
?Household disposable income: Yd = Y - T, where Y isproduction.
?Taxes depend on income according to: T = -200 + 0.5Y .
?Public consumption: G = 1000.
(a) Use the simple Keynesian model of the goods market to calculateequilibrium
production Y , i.e. the level of production compatible withplanned
expenditure in the form of consumption and investments.
(b) What is the public budget deficit?
(c) Suppose that the government increases public consumption to G =1100.
What is production in the new equilibrium?
(d) What is the public deficit after the increase of publicconsumption?
(e) What is the multiplier for an (unfinanced) increase in publicconsumption
Let W represent an individual's annual earned income and U(W) = (W/10)^0.5 is this individual's Von Neumann-Morgenstern utility index (or utility function). This individual's earned income is $49,000. This individual faces the prospect of a 20% chance of needing healthcare with a price tag of $13,000. Assume this person is risk-averse. Also, assume that the health insurance company has only claim costs and that administrative costs are $0. What is the maximum health insurance premium that this individual is willing to pay?

The U.S. government currently spend $475,909,674,990.00 a year on the Medicaid program. There are 82 Million households that receive Medicaid. Providing low income Americans with free health insurance is intended to improve their economic well-being. We can understand this better by showing improvements in a typical low-income family's budget possibilities. Please illustrate with a well-labeled budget constraint graph how the consumption possibilities of health insurance (HI) and all else (Y) expand for a family when Medicaid is introduced, through parts a) above d) below. As we have done in class, Assume that P(Y)=$1; P(HI)=$1 and family income is $20,000 a year. (b) Using the amount from (a), show how the budget constraint of a family (showing Y and HI) changes when they are given Medicaid.
