Answer to Question 1

The effects are ambiguous. The reduction in future Y will reduce human wealth and cause C to decrease. The decrease in future rates will increase the present value of future disposable income and increase C.

Answer to Question 2

A reduction in consumer confidence will cause a reduction in consumption and, therefore, a reduction in demand and a leftward shift in the IS curve. As Y decreases, money demand will decrease causing the interest rate to fall. The effects on I are ambiguous. The lower Y will cause I to fall while the lower interest rate will cause I to increase.
