Consider the Following Model of the IS Curve Without an International

question 42

True/False

Consider the following model of the IS curve without an international sector: Consumption: $C _ { t } / \bar { Y } _ { t } = \bar { a } _ { c } - \bar { b } _ { c } \left( R _ { t } - \bar { r } _ { ) } , \bar { b } _ { c } > 0 \right.;$ Investment: $I _ { t } / \bar { Y } _ { t } = \bar { a } _ { i } - \bar { b } _ { i } \left( R _ { t } - \bar { r } { } \right) , \bar { b } _ { i } > 0;$ Government expenditure: $G _ { t } = \bar { a } _ { g } \bar { y } _ { t }.$ With this formulation, the IS curve is less steeply sloped than the "standard" IS curve.
