Question

If the substitution effect of the real interest rate on saving is larger than the income effect of the real interest rate on saving, then a rise in the real interest rate leads to a ________ in consumption and a ________ in saving, for someone who's a lender.

Answer 1

Answer:

rise, fall

In the case when the subsitution effect with respect to the real rate of interest should be saved and more than the income effect on the real rate of interest so if there is an increased in the real rate of interest so there is an increase in the consumption also there is the fall in the savings

Also, if there is a more income effect, the consumption should rise and the savings would decline

Therefore the rise and fall should be considered to fill the blanks
