Module 8 Q2 The 45 degree line When you construct a 45 degree line on an X-Y coordinate plan, at any point on this line the X coordinate = Y coordinate. In the Keynesian income-expenditure model, the demand side is in equilibrium when Y = AE. (This is tricky.) Therefore the demand side is in equilibrium when the AE curve intersects the 45 degree line. Q4 Equilibrium GDP (III) (a) Equilibrium Y = 2000 (b) New equilibrium Y = 2100 (c) Increase in G = 40 and increase in Y = 100. Y >…
