How does the economy react to economic shocks in the short-run ?
• Recurrent fluctuations in the short run around the long-run trend

Puzzle: how has the subprime crisis led to an economic crisis?
• Initial loss on subprime: 250 billions $• Loss output: 4,600 billions $• Loss financial assets 2007-2008: 26,400 billions $

Role of income and marginal propensity to consume
C = C (YD) où YD = Y-T
• Ex.:
C = c0 + c1. YD
• Empirically: marginal propensity to cosume on average between .3 and .5, but close to 1 for borrowing constrained people

• Total savings : S(Y-T) = Y – T – C(Y-T)
• Equality savings and investment
S(Y-T) = I(Y,i) + G - T

Basic Keynesian Multiplier
Impact of a fiscal stimulus?
Basic answer regardless of financial market
Ex.:
MechanismIf G increases by 1 $, Z increases by 1 $, so does output and incomeThis yields extra demand, output, and income of , leading to an increase in demand by …..

3. Financial market equilibrium
3.1 Money demand
Basic trade-off - Real balances: liquid but no return- Financial asset (bonds here): illiquid but yields a return
Basic relationship- MD increases with income Y : transaction motives- decreases with interest rate i : speculation motives
⇒ MD / P = Y. L(i) : Money demand(+, -)

3.2 Equilibrium on the money market
Equilibrium:
- Money supply : M/ P - Targeted by the Central Bank: Ex M3 target for the ECB (interest rate targeting)
- Equilibrium : M/P= MD / P or M/P = Y. L(i)
LM relationship: All (Y,i) compatible with money market equilibrium

Monetary integration
Equilibrium on the product market depends on the money market
- Money demand for transaction
- Interest rate influences Investment (and consumption in a more general framework)
Interaction between the product maket and the money markets is at the core of the non-neutrality of money
![Page 43: CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO FLUCTUATIONS KEYNESIAN ECONOMICSecon.sciences-po.fr/sites/default/files/file/yann algan/Chap1.pdf · Static model with rigid prices and shortage of demand](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041704/5e43b2078009457d8b0d44ae/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Involuntary unemploymentLabor market activity driven by aggregate demand
Situation of unemployment:Equilibrium employment is determined by labor demand side
Aggregate demand drives production and thus labor demand
Z Y N (ex. production Y=N)
Unvoluntary unemployment: • Unemployment due to the lack of aggregate demand on the productmarket and not from too high wages !
• Equilibrium: no spontaneous adjustment of the markets through prices,adjustment by shortage of quantities
Room for State intervention
