Consider a closed economy to which the Keynesian-cross analysis applies. Consumption is given by the equation C = 100+ 0.6*(Y-T). Planned investment is 300, as are government spending and taxes. a. If current output is 1,400, what is planned consumption? What is planned expenditure? b. What is inventory accumulation (i.e., unexpected increase in inventory) or decumulation (i.e., unexpected decrease in inventory)? Should equilibrium output be higher or lower than 1,400? C. What is equilibrium output? What is equilibrium consumption? d. Draw a Keynesian-cross model. Label the output level of 1,400 and the equilibrium output level, and the corresponding levels of planned expenditure. e. What is (the Keynesian) government spending multiplier? f. How much does equilibrium income decrease when government spending decreases from 300 to 100? g. Suppose the natural rate of output is 1,600. By what percentage is the equilibrium output above or below the natural rate of output? According the Okun's law, how much is cyclical unemployment? h. Should the government increase or decrease government spending to reach the natural rate of output? By how much? i. Should the government raise or cut taxes to reach the natural rate of output?

Assume a closed economy: Y=C+I+G In the Keynesian Cross model, as in the slides, assuming the marginal propensity to consume, c1, is less than one, which FOUR of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: A. The government sends cheques to all taxpayers, worth a total of £1 billion. As long as at least some of this results in higher autonomous consumption, GDP will rise by more than £1 billion. B. A rise in government spending on benefits or other transfers will increase Y by more than the increase in benefits C. If the c1 = 0.75 the multiplier will be 4 D. A fall in autonomous consumption will reduce Y by more than the initial fall E. The government sends cheques to all taxpayers, worth a total of £1billion. As a result, autonomous consumption increases by £0.5 billion. As long as c1 > 0.5, GDP will rise by more than £1 billion F. If consumers seek to save more by reducing their autonomous consumption, c0, this will reduce output.
In the Keynesian-cross analysis, if the consumption function is given by C=100+0.6(Y-T),and planned investment is 100,G is 100, and T is 100,then the equilibrium Y is: Select one: a. 400 b. 350 c. 750 d. 600
Consider a closed economy to which the Keynesian-cross analysis applies. Consumption is given by the equation C = 200 + 2/3(Y – T). Planned investment is 300, as are government spending and taxes. What happens to unplanned inventory investment? Should equilibrium Y be higher or lower than 1,500?
Please write down whether the following statements are true or false, and explain your answer very briefly A)If actual investment is greater than planned investment, inventories increase more than planned. B)The marginal propensity to consume is the change in consumption expenditure divided by the percentage change in income. C)Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of all goods and services produced in an economy over a particular time period. D)Monetary policy refers to taxation and spending policies implemented by government. E)In a simple Keynesian model (with lump-sum taxes and a MPC of 0.8), a tax cut of 20 billion TL will have less of an impact on GDP than an increase in government spending of 10 billion TL. D)When you take 1000 TL from your savings account and deposit it in your checking account, M2 decreases. F)An open market purchase of government securities (such as Treasury Bills) by the Central Bank will decrease the money supply and raise the interest rate.…
In the Keynesian cross, the economy is in equilibrium when planned expenditure equals actual expenditure. However, when planned expenditure exceeds actual expenditure, unplanned inventory investment is ________, causing output to ________. a. negative; fall b. positive; fall c. positive; rise d. negative; rise
10 In the context of the Keynesian model, which of the following statements is incorrect? Group of answer choices: An increase in the marginal propensity to consume results in a steeper planned aggregate expenditure line An exogenous payment from the government to households results in an unplanned increase in inventories An exogenous collection of taxes from the government results in an unplanned increase in inventories None of the other options
In the Neoclassical model of determination of income in the long run we assumed that aggregate consumption was an increasing function of disposable income, , and nothing else. Suppose that instead we assume that consumption is an increasing function of disposable income, , and a decreasing function of the real interest rate, . Provide an economic rationale for making consumption a function of the real interest rate. How does this assumption change the national saving function relative to the benchmark model?

Provide an economic rationale for making consumption a function of the real interest rate. How does this assumption change the national saving function relative to the benchmark model Using the model developed in (1), use a diagram for the market for loanable funds to describe what happens to national saving, national investment, and the real interest rate when government expenditure increases. Make sure to also explain in your own words the economic intuition of your results.
If planned aggregate expenditure equals GDP, the economy is in macroeconomic equilibrium. True False
In the Keynesian cross model, assume that the consumption function is given by C = 100 + 0.75(Y - T). If government spending increases by AG = 100, what is the increase in output? How does your answer change when the spending increase is financed by an equal increase in taxes?
In the Keynesian macroeconomic model, the equation for the savings function is given as: S = -420 + 1/4Y. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? (1) The marginal propensity to consume is 1/4;(2) The marginal propensity to save is -420; (3) At an income level of R1 000, the value of savings is 250;(4) At an income level of R1 000, the level of savings is -170.
Using the Keynesian-cross diagram, the investment function diagram, and the IS Curve, illustrate what happens when consumer confidence falls (thus reducing autonomous consumptions. (See page 319 of the textbook.)
