1 Note that G is autonomous
Government and the income-expenditure model  Consider an economy with a public sector: Y  C + I + G + X - M [1]  Assumptions: G is autonomous--that is, determined independent of income. Thus, G = Ga Note that G is autonomous G Ga Y = GDP

2 Substitute [2], [3], [4], [5], and [6] into [1]
Equilibrium in the open model with government Y  C + I + G + X - M [1] C = Ca + cY [2] I = Ia [3] G = G a [4] X = Xa [5] M = mY [6] Substitute [2], [3], [4], [5], and [6] into [1] Y = Ca + cY + Ia + Ga + Xa - mY [7] Rearrange [5] to obtain: [1 - c + m]Y = Ca + Ia + Ga + Xa [6]

3 To solve for equilibrium GDP, use the following “reduced form” equation.
Ca + Ia + Ga + Xa Y* = 1 - c + m

4  For an open economy with a public sector:
Numerical example  For an open economy with a public sector: Y = C + I + G + X - M C = Y I = 60 G = 90 X = 40 M = .10Y Thus: Y* = = 220/.4 = 550

5 Numerical example Y  C + I + G + (X - M)
C = Y( ) I = 50 G = 90 X = 25 M = .10Y To solve for equilibrium GDP (Y*): Y* = = 220/.4 = 550 ( ) + .10
