The Keynesian model
Let:-
M = the money supply
P = the price level
y = the national income
l = the income elasticity of demand for money
L = the interest elasticity of demand for money
s = savings and S = the marginal propensity to save
i = savings and I = the interest elasticity of investment
n = the numbers employed in the labour market
Y = labour productivity
W = the money wage
then:-
The demand for money
- M = lPy + L(r) ------------------------ (1)
The consumption function
- s = S(y) -------------------------------- (2)
The production function
- y = Y(n) ---------------------------------- (3)
The labour market
- dy/dn = W/P ----------------------------- (4)
Investment
- i = I(r) ------------------------------------- (5)
Savings
- s = i ---------------------------------------- (6)
Sticky wages
- W =Wo, ------------------------------------ (7)
