Suppose the economy is in a recessionary gap. (the economy is not self-regulating and consider upward sloping SRAS) If government spending increases by $30,000 but private investment reduces by $25,000 at the same time, will increase in government purchase lead the economy to long run equilibrium in goods and service market? Why or why not? Explain with AD-AS graph.
Construct an Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand model where AS and AD are in equilibrium at potential GDP at a price level of 110 and Real GDP of $13.0 trillion dollars. Be sure to label all parts of the graph. a. Graph the initial effects of a recession that causes AD to decrease and real GDP to fall $0.5 trillion. b. Explain what will happen in the long run if nothing is done. c. If the government wanted to intervene in the economy, explain the Fiscal Policy measures that can be used to bring real GDP back to potential.
the question is true or false: "An increase in business investment spending has the same effect on the level of ad as an increase in the same amount of government spending" can you explain what the answer is? Would they equal each other out?

Derive the consumption function and use this relation in the aggregate demand function to derivean equation for the equilibrium in the goods market . Why the AD line is upward sloping?Suppose the government spending falls by 100 and in this case marginal propensity to consumeis 0.8. what is the value of change in output. Draw a diagram to show the shift in AD line due tothis change in government spending and output.
