  1. Equilibrium in the loanable funds market:
    S = I

  2. Spending multiplier:
    = 1/(1 - MPC) = 1/MPS
    = (D GDP)/(D spending)

  3. Tax multiplier (Tm):
    = MPC × (Spending multiplier) = MPC/MPS
    = (D GDP)/(D taxes)

  4. Balanced-budget multiplier = 1


Chapter 9



  1. Macroeconomic short-run equilibrium
    AD = SRAS

  2. Macroeconomic long-run equilibrium
    AD = SRAS = LRAS

  3. Recessionary gap:
    = Full employment GDP – Current GDP

  4. Inflationary gap:
    = Current GDP – Full employment GDP


Chapter 10



  1. Budget deficit:
    = Government spending – Net taxes

  2. Budget Surplus:
    = Net taxes – Government spending


Chapter 11



  1. M1 measure of money:
    = Cash + Coins + Checking Deposits +
    Traveler’s checks

  2. M2 measure of money:
    = M 1 + Savings deposits + Small (e.g., under
    $100,000 CDs) time deposits + Money market
    deposits + Money market mutual funds

  3. Present value (PV) of $1 received a year from
    today:
    = $1/(1 + r)

  4. Future Value (FV) of $1 invested today at
    interest rate r for one year = $1 × (1 + r)

  5. Money demand:
    = Transaction demand + Asset demand

  6. Equilibrium in the money market:
    MS = MD

  7. Reserve ratio (rr)
    = Required reserves/Total deposits

  8. Simple money multiplier:
    = 1/rr


Chapter 12



  1. Equilibrium in the currency ($) market:
    Qd for the $ = Qs of the $

  2. Revenue from a tariff:
