The Keynesian model
Let:-
y = the thenational income
N = numbers employed
W = the money wage
P = the price level
M = the money supply
l = the income elasticity of demand for money
L = the interest elasticity of demand for money
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)
