Consider an economy in which the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, prices are constant, G is initially 1,500, taxes are autonomous (not related to income) and are initially 2,000, transfer payments are initially 500, and GDP is initially 8,200. The economy is currently experiencing an inflationary gap. The government wishes to eliminate the gap and intends to reduce GDP to 7,000, and is considering changing government purchases, or taxes, or transfer payments. What new levels of these fiscal policy tools would be needed? In each case, what would the new government surplus or deficit be?
