Explain how automatic stabilizers work, both on the taxation side and on the spending side, first in a situation where the economy is producing less than potential GDP and then in a situation where the economy Is producing more than potential GDP.
What would happen if expansionary fiscal policy was implemented in a recession but, due to lag, did not actually take effect until after the economy was back to potential GDP?
Suppose that gifts were taxed at a rate of 10 for amounts up to 100,000 and 20 for anything over that amount. Would this tax be regressive or progressive?
What is meant by a progressive tax? A regressive tax? A proportional tax? Comment on the progressivity or regressivity of each of the following taxes, indicating in each case where you think the tax incidence lies: (a) the Federal personal income tax; (b) a 4 percent state general sales tax; (c ) a Federal excise tax on automobile tires; (d) a municipal property tax on real estate; (e) the Federal corporate income tax; (f ) the portion of the payroll tax levied on employers.
1. Consider an economy with the initial equilibrium income level of $1000 and the consumption function of C = $150 + 0.6 (Y - T). Find the following quantities:a. Government expenditures at the equilibrium level of income if T = $160 and I = $100.b. The change in income produced by increasing taxes 10%, provided that G and I remain unchanged. What is the tax multiplier?c. The change in income produced by increasing government expenditures 10%, provided that T and I remain unchanged. What is the government spending multiplier?d. Based on your answers to (b) and (c), does the balanced budget multiplier theorem hold?
Discuss the consequence of a rise in direct taxes to the economy as a whole
Suppose there is a bill to increase the tax on cigarettes by $1 per pack coupled with an income tax cut of $500. Suppose a person smokes an average of 500 packs of cigarettes per year—and would thus face a tax increase of about $500 per year from the cigarette tax at the person’s current level of consumption. The income tax measure would increase the person’s after-tax income by $500. Would the combined measures be likely to have any effect on the person’s consumption of cigarettes? Why or why not?
Refer to the accompanying table for Waxwania. Government Expenditures, G Tax Revenues, T Real GDP $190 100 $500 190 120 600 190 140 700 190 160 800 190 180 900 a. What is the marginal tax rate in Waxwania? ____percent --The average tax rate? _____percent b. Suppose Waxwania is producing $600 of real GDP, whereas the potential real GDP (or full-employment real GDP) is $700.-How large is its budget deficit? $____ -Its cyclically adjusted budget deficit? $____ -Its cyclically adjusted budget deficit as a percentage of potential real GDP?________ percent
Federal payroll taxes to fund the EI program are levied at a combined rate of 1.58 percent up to an income ceiling of $54,200. a. If there was a limit on the income level at which these taxes apply, would they be proportional, progressive, or regressive? With no limit, are the taxes proportional, progressive, or regressive? b. The amount of EI benefits that people receive depends on the amount of payroll taxes they paid. Relative to people who had low earnings, people who had higher earnings and paid more 3 in taxes receive more benefits, but not proportionally more. Does this feature of the EI system make EI a progressive or a regressive payroll tax?
Suppose that real GDP is currently $17.1 trillion, potential GDP is $17.4 trillion, and the tax multiplier is -1.6. Byhow much will taxes have to change to bring the economy to equilibrium at potential GDP?
Consider the following consumption function: C (Y)=0.8(Y-T) where Y represents income and T represents net taxes. Suppose that investment, I, is 100; government spending, G, is 200; and, net taxes, T, are 100. 1)The equilibrium level of output is: a. 1200 b. 900 c. 1100 d. 1000 Tha values for the government expenditure and tax multipliers are, respectively: a. 5 and -4 b. -2 and 2 c. 2 and 2 d. 2 and 4
