Country D experiences a recession due to a decrease in consumer confidence. There are two economists, Andrew and Betty. Betty suggests the government to do nothing. Andrew suggests the government to implement fiscal policies to revive the economy as soon as possible. If the government adopts Betty’s policy, draw an AD-AS graph to show what happens to the economy in short run and then long run after the decrease in consumer confidence. Suppose the government adopts Andrew’s policy. (i) Will the government increase or decrease spending? (ii) The government cuts the income tax rate. After cutting the income tax rate, the total income tax revenue collected increases. Explain why. (iii) Will Andrew’s policy be more effective if MPC is smaller? Give one advantage of Betty’s policy over Andrew’s policy.

Question 4. Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, the economy of Finland is in a recession. The government is planning to increase government spending by 30 billion euros. Assume that marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and there is no crowding-out effect. Define this policy measure and its consequences. Quantify the total effect of an increase in government spending on aggregate demand. Compare if the tax cut of 30 billion euros would lead to the same result. Discuss how can the crowding-out effect change the consequences of an increase in government spending.
