Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model
There are three different actors in this economy:
• the representative consumer who stands in for the many consumers in the economy who sell labour and buy consumption goods.
• the representative firm that stands in for the many firms in the economy that buy labour and sell consumption goods.
• the government
• Competitive Equilibrium
• Experiments: What does the model tell us are the effects of changes in government spending and in total factor productivity?

The Government
• In this one-period closed economy model the behaviour of the government is quite simple.
• In this model, the government wants to purchase a given quantity of consumption goods, G, and finances these purchases by taxing the representative consumer, which is denoted by T.
• In practice, governments provide many different goods and services, including roads and bridges, national defence, air traffic control, and education.
![Page 5: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Government
• Which goods and services the government should provide is subject to both political and economic debate.
• But economists generally agree that the government has a special role to play in providing public goods, which have two special charactristics: nonrivalness in consumption and nonexcludability in the benefits of consumption, that are difficult or impossible for the private sector to provide.
• Example of a public good: National defence
![Page 6: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Government
• To keep things simple, for now in the model we will not be specific about the public-ggods nature of government expenditures.
• What we want to capture here is that government spending uses up resources, and we will model this by assuming that government spending simply involves taking goods from the private sector.
• Output is produced, and the government purchases an exogenous amount G of this output, with the remainder consumed by the representative consumer.
![Page 7: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Government• An exogenous variable is determined outside the model,
while an endogenous variable is determined by the model itself.
• Government spending is exogenous in our model, as we are assuming that government spending is independent of what happens in the rest of the economy.
• The government must abide by the government budget constraint, which we write as
G = T,or government purchases (G) equal to taxes (T), in real terms.
![Page 8: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Government – Fiscal Policy
• Introducing the government in this way allows us to study some basic effects of fiscal policy.
• In general, fiscal policy refers to the government’s choices over its expenditures, taxes, transfers, and borrowing.
• In the current one-period model, the government cannot borrow to finance government expenditures, since there is no future in which to repay its debt.
![Page 9: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Government – Fiscal Policy
• The government does not tax more than it spends, as this would imply that the government would foolishly throw goods away.
• The government budget deficit, which is G – T here, is always zero.
• Thus, only elements of fiscal policy we will study in Chapter 5 are the setting of government purchases, G, and the macroeconomic effects of changing G.
• In Chapter 8, we will explore what happens when the government run deficits and surpluses.

Competitive Equilibrium
• We have to now understand how consistency is obtained in the actions of all three economic agents.
• Mathematically, a macroeconomic model takes the exogenous variables and determines values for the endogenous variables, as outlined in Figure 5.1.

Competitive Equilibrium
• Exogenous variables in the model: G, z and K.• Endogenous variables: C, Ns, Nd, T, Y and w

Competitive Equilibrium
• Representative consumer optimizes given market prices.
• Representative firm optimizes given market prices.
• The labor market clears.
• The government budget constraint is satisfied, or G = T.

Income-Expenditure Identitity
In a competitive equilibrium, the income-expenditure identity is satisfied, so
Y = C + G

![Page 15: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Production Function
• We will work with the this simple macroeconomic model in graphical form.
• Start with representing the production function in graphical form.
• In a competitive equilibrium, Nd = Ns = N and we will refer to N as employment.
• Production function: Y=zF(K,N) (5.4)• We graph the production function in Figure
5.2(a) for a given capital stock K.
![Page 16: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Production Function• The maximum output that could be produced in this
economy is Y* in Figure 5.2(a).• In equilibrium, N = h – l.• Substituting for N in the production function (5.4),
we getY = zF(K, h-l), (5.5)
which is relationship between output Y and leisure l, given exogenous variables z and K.
• This relationship is graphed in Figure 5.2(b) and we get a mirror image of the production function in Figure 5.2(a).
![Page 17: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The Production Function and the Production Possibilities Frontier (Figure 5.2)
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada
![Page 18: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Production Function• Note that since the slope of the production function in Figure
5.2(a) is MPN, the marginal product of labour, the slope of the relationship in Figure 5.2(b) is – MPN, since this relationship is just the mirror image of the production function.
• Since in equilibrium C = Y – G, from the income-expenditure identity, from (5.5) we get
C = zF(K, h-l) – G,which is a relationship between C and l, given the exogenous variables z, K and G.
• This relationship, graphed in Figure 5.2(c), is just the relationship in Figure 5.2(b) shifted down by the amount of G.
![Page 19: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF)
• The relationship in Figure 5.2(c) is called a production possibilities frontier (PPF).
• It describes what technological possibilities are for the economy as a whole, in terms of the production of consumption goods and leisure.
• All of the points in the shaded area inside the PPF and on the PPF in Figure 5.2(c) are technologically possible in this economy.
![Page 20: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF)
• The PPF captures the tradeoff between leisure and consumption that the available production technology makes available to the representative consumer in the economy.
• Note that the points on the PPF on line AB are not feasible for this economy, as consumption is negative.
• Only the points on the PPF on line DB are feasible.
![Page 21: Chapter 5 A Closed- Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education Canada.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d365503460f94a0ec4d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF)
• As in Figure 5.2(b), the slope of the PPF in Figure 5.2(c) is –MPN.
• The negative of the slope of the PPF is called the marginal rate of transformation.
• The marginal rate of transformation is the rate at which one good can be converted technologically into another; in this case, the marginal rate of transformation is the rate at which leisure can be converted in the economy into consumption goods through work.
• MRTl,c = MPN = -(slope of the PPF)

Key Properties of a Pareto Optimum
• In this model, the competitive equilibrium and the Pareto optimum are identical, as the marginal rate of substitution is equal to the marginal rate of transformation.

First and Second Welfare Theorems
• These theorems apply to any macroeconomic model
• First Welfare Theorem: Under certain conditions, a competitive equilibrium is Pareto optimal.
• Second Welfare Theorem: Under certain conditions, a Pareto optimum is a competitive equilibrium.

Sources of Social Inefficiencies
• There are three reasons why a competitive equilibrium could fail to be Pareto-optimal.
1. Externalities2. Distorting taxes3. Monopoly Power
