Answer to Question 1

If there is no Ricardo-Barro effect, a government budget deficit increases the demand for loanable funds. As a result, the equilibrium real interest rate rises and the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds increases. But the rise in the real interest rate decreases investment. The government's budget deficit has thus crowded out investment.

Answer to Question 2
