Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt Herbert hoover When a government spends more than it collects in taxes, it borrows from the private sector to finance the budget deficit. The accumulation of past borrowin is the government debt. Debate about the appropriate amount of government debt in the United States is as old as the country itself. Alexander Hamilton be- lieved thata national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing, whereas James Madison argued that \a public debt is a public curse \Indeed, the location of the nations capital was chosen as part of a deal in which the federal

The Multiplier Process as Market Exchange Process A Contribution to the Micro Foundation of Keynesian Macroeconomics Abstract Traditional equilibrium analysis has been incorrectly founded once an \ordering issue\ is concerned. To circumvent this problem, the autonomous demand, which has been missed in traditional microeconomic analysis, has to be introduced into the system as a starting point of a sequence of market exchanges. Following this direction, Keynes's multiplier analysis can also be viewed as a description of the process through which market exchanges are generated. Further

The objective of this chapter is to put the previously discussed two models -- the models of product market and money market --together and discuss how output and interest rate is determined The model presented in this chapter is often called the IS-LM model (IS: the product market model; LM the money market model)

Defintion: GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced by a country. Final versus Intermediate: By \final\, we mean the goods and service that are purchased for final use by purchaser and not for resale or further processing. The meaning intermediate is opposite to final. Value Added: GDP not only reflects the market value of final goods and service, but also reflect the income generated from producing these final goods and service

Introduction The objective of this chapter is to discuss how price is determined in Keynesian analysis. Some textbooks would like to refer the analysis in this chapter as the medium analysis in contrast to short run analysis. This is because in the short run the price is assumed to be fixed, and therefore nothing we can say about the price determination

Integration of Market Exchange and Money Circulation Abstract: Money as a medium of exchange is circulated along with market exchanges. The process of market exchanges can be viewed as a sequence of trades with the starting point to be an autonomous demand. Money in this process is naturally integrated with the proceeding of market

When conducting monetary and fiscal policy, policymakers often look be- yond their own country's borders Even if domestic prosperity is their sole ob jective, it is necessary for them to consider the rest of the world. The international flow of goods and services and the international flow of capital can affect an economy in profound ways. Policymakers ignore these effects at In this chapter we extend our analysis of aggregate demand to include inter- national trade and finance. The model developed in this chapter, called the Mundell-Fleming model, is an open-economy version of the IS-LM model. Both models stress the interaction between the goods market and the money market. Both models assume that the price level is fixed and then show what
