Calculate the multiplier for closed economy case calculate


The behavioral functions are given as follows.C = 20 + 0.8(Y - T); I = 14; G = 20; T = 10; IM = 0.5Y; X = 0.1Y*; Y* = 100where Y is domestic income; Y* is foreign income; C is consumption; T is tax; I is investment;G is government spending; IM is import; X is export.
