Model PC - Model PCEX - Model PCEX1 - Model PCEX2 - Model PCNEO
Model PC incorporates government bills and asset demand functions. The chart shows the impact of a rise in the interest rate on disposable income and consumption.

Model PCEXModel PCEX introduces expectations on households disposable income, where expectations are altered by random shocks. Download: gl04pcex (Eviews 5 to 8) or gl04pcex_v4 (Eviews 4.1) Note that the macro generates a new series for the random shock each time it is executed: you will get different charts every time, but the model will keep its properties. Check that the missing equation, Hh = Hs, holds for any model solution. |
Model PCEX1 modifies the previous model, by using adaptive expectations Yde = Yd.

This model is used in par.4.6.2 to analyze the effects of a change in the propensity to consume out of disposable income.
Model PCEX2 modifies model PCEX1, by assuming that the propensity to consume out of disposable income depends inversely on the interest rate α1 = α10 - ι · r.

This model is used in par.4.6.3 to analyze the effects of a change in the the interest rate.
Model PCNEO assumes a "Neoclassical" closure, by exogenizing demand for securities from the Central bank, and making the interest rate endogenous.

Note how equation 4.7 has been changed to solve for the rate of interest on bills.
