Now, instead of being provided the equilibrium level of SP, we are provided with the SP curve: r =0.025+0.000025Q, where r is still the real interest rate. We are also told that the capital inflow equals $200 billion in 2010. For this part of the problem assumed that the government has a balanced budget in the year 2010.
