Is the relationship between changes in spending and changes in real GDP in the multiplier effect a direction (positive) relationship or is it an inverse (negative) relation- ship?
We again assume asimple closed economy with GDP of 100 and:c0(autonomous consumption) = 20c1 (marginal propensity to consume) = 0.6I (investment) = 20.a) Now assume that c0falls by 5 (i.e. 5% of GDP), i.e. for any given level of output,consumption will fall by 5. Show the implied fall in the AD function in yourdiagram and show that output will fall by more than 5.b) Show that the multiplier is equal to 2.5, and hence that, in the new equilibrium,output will have fallen by 12.5 (i.e. by 12.5%)c) How big would the impact be if, say, c1 = 0.4 or c1 = 0.8? Explain the difference.
During 2019, a country reported that its real GDP increased by $3.0 billion. The multiplier for this economy is known to be equal to 10.Which of the following might have caused the increase in real GDP? Question 12Answer a. Exports increased by $0.3 billion. b. Investment decreased by $0.3 billion. c. Exports decreased by $0.3 billion. d. Imports increased by $0.3 billion. e. Government expenditure on goods and services increased by $3 billion.
47)Which one is TRUE? Select one: a. The larger the MPC, the smaller the multiplier. b. The multiplier is the ratio of the change in autonomous expenditure to the change in real GDP c. The real world multiplier is larger than the textbook multiplier when we take into account the impact of changes in GDP on imports, inflation and the interest rate. d. The real world multiplier is smaller than the textbook multiplier when we take into account the impact of changes in GDP on imports, inflation and the interest rate.
It appears that there was an economic drop during the 2019-2021 period as a result of the pandemic. Assume that we can view this as a negative shock to private investment, due to a combination of lockdowns and uncertainty about the world. In under 150 words, answer the following question: Was government consumption expenditure used as stabilisation policy following the slow-down during 2020 and 2021? (Note, you only need to discuss this in terms of our demand model of Income-Expenditure, IS-MPR, and Aggregate Demand.)

Consider the following macroeconomy. All amounts are in millions (m.) of $: C = 750 + 0.8 YD I = 1200 G = 150 T = 250 Calculate eqm Y and prove that I=sum of S at this equilibrium. What is meant by the “Paradox of Thrift” (POT)? Go back to the original eqm of part a. Now prove using multiplier analysis that the POT holds in this economy by assuming that the change in co is -$50 m. As part of your answer, explain “intuitively” why this paradox exists. Show what happens in the Z-Y space graph.
Suppose that investment demand increases by $100. Assume that households have a marginal propensity to consume of 80 percent. Compute the first three rounds of multiplier effects as follows: a) What are the first cycle changes in spending? Total cumulative change equals? b) What are the second cycle changes in spending? Total cumulative change equals? c) What are the third cycle changes in spending? Total cumulative change equals?
