Consider a keynesian macromodel Y=(C0+G+I) / (1-c) where C0 is autonomus consumption, G is government consumption expenditure, I is investment expenditure, c is the marginal propensity to consume. Assume constant marginal productivity of labor. If we extend the model to that investment is an inverse function of the rate of interest, what will happen to the employment if interest rates are cut? a. Indeterminate b. Neither c. Higher employment d. Lower employement.
Consider a keynesian macromodel Y=(C0+G+I) / (1-c) where C0 is autonomus consumption, G is government consumption expenditure, I is investment expenditure, c is the marginal propensity to consume. Assume constant marginal productivity of labor. What assumption does this model make about production? a. Higher spending leads to higher inflation b. Higher saving is required to raise output c. Production always adjusts to match expenditure d. Higher investment raises its productivity
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.
Consider a 4-sector Keynesian model like that discussed in class with the following characteristics: exogenous consumption=2000, exogenous taxation=100, government spending=1000, exports=400, planned investment=400. The marginal propensity to save=20%, the marginal tax rate=20% and the marginal propensity to import=40%. The potential output for this economy is 6000. Note that import demand depends on disposable income. a) At its short run equilibrium, this economy is experiencing __________ (a contractionary/an expansionary) gap of __________ (round to 2 decimal places) b) Following the outbreak of a pandemic in the above economy, exogenous consumption falls to 1000 and the marginal propensity to save increases to 40%. In order for this economy to experience a zero output gap, government spending must ____________ (increase/decrease) by ____________ . Assume all other quantities remain unchanged
Consider a simple Keynesian model without government spending or taxation. Suppose autonomousconsumption is 500 and autonomous investment is 300 and the equilibrium level of output is 2400.Then the marginal propensity to consume is: a.2/3 b.Uncertain, not enough information c.3/5 d.3
Which of the following features of a Keynesian consumption function is not true? a. In the short run, current disposable income has the most impact on consumption. b. As income rises, so does the average tendency to consume. c. the average tendency to consume decreases as income increases decrease d .The marginal consumption propensity is smaller than one.
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.
use analytic exposition and an appropriate diagram, to explain how the permanent income theory of construction reconcile the results of cross- section and time -series estimates of the Keynesian consumption function
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?
can i get help please? The population is aware that the government borrowing required to finance this capital investment will need to be paid back via tax rises, so they respond by reducing their spending. Using a “Keynesian cross” framework and sketch diagram, model this response as a fall in autonomous consumption, c0.
In the Keynesian cross model, assume that the consumption function is given by C = 20 + 0.8(Y- T). Planned investment is 200; government purchases and taxes are both 400. There is no foreign trade. An economist has claimed that the full employment level of output is 2,400. How much should the government expenditure or taxes rise or fall to achieve full employment?
Consider a keynesian macromodel Y=(C0+G+I) / (1-c) where C0 is autonomus consumption, G is government consumption expenditure, I is investment expenditure, c is the marginal propensity to consume. In this model, if labor productivity increases while autonomus expenditures and the marginal propensity to consume remain unchanged, what will happen to the level of employment? a. increseas b. can't say for sure c. decreases d. stays the same
