. Using the appropriate formulas and an MPC of 0.85, calculate the multipliers for each of the two scenarios. Next, calculate the overall impact each will have on the increase in money circulating through the economy. To stimulate an economy in a serious recession, the government spends a total of $700 million to send each person a stimulus check worth $600. 2.To stimulate an economy in a serious recession, the government spends a total of $700 million to construct nationwide high-speed internet infrastructure so that all areas of the country, especially rural areas, will have high speed internet service. (Enter response here.)
Theoretically, a decline in G such as the one in the first question leads to a change in equilibrium Y, Ye. First, give the simple equation for how much a change in autonomous government spending changes Ye. Second, we expect that the fall in G will lead to a fall in Ye that is even greater in dollars than the change in G and this will be due to the multiplier effect. Please explain how this multiplier effect (not the multiplier itself but rather the process that shows how spending ripples down through the economy) where a rise in G of $100 billion leads to a change in Ye of more than $100 billion. Once done, answer the following: if the size of the MPS rises as people become more concerned about the possible coming recession what will happen to the amount by which Ye changes with a given rise in G? Explain in words why this change makes sense.
Assume that the economy can be modeled as follows: AE = C + I + G C = 300 + .6Yd I = 400 G = 100 T = 200 Y=1700 consumption=1200 7) Imagine the government would like to increase equilibrium GDP to 2,000, what would it have to set the level of government spending to? 8) What is the size of the spending multiplier? 9) What is the size of the tax multiplier?
. Explain how MPC and the multiplier effect would impact a government’s attempt to stimulate its economy in each of the following scenarios. To stimulate the economy already in a serious recession, the government spends a total of $700 million to send each person a stimulus check of $600. To stimulate the economy already in a serious recession, the government spends a total of $700 million to construct nationwide highspeed internet infrastructure so that all areas of the country, especially the rural areas will have highspeed internet service. Explain why one of these scenarios is likely to have a greater overall impact on this economy.
YAS 1548 + 19P - 12Poil YAD = 412 – 33P+ 26G %3D Suppose initially, the Poil = $86 per barrel and government spending is equal to $780. Part (a): Calculate equilibrium GDP and the price level. Part (b): Determine the magnitude of the simple multiplier if oil prices exogenously rise by $1. Part (c): Determine the magnitude of the simple multiplier if government spending exogenously increases by $1.
18. If MPC = 0.65, find the government spending multiplier. If government spending increases by 100, what will be the change in Y? Will Y increase or decrease? What will be the new Y (Y2) if you are given that Y1 is 500?

Suppose there is some hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.80 of each additional doilar they earn and save the remaining $0.20. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $400 billion. The decrease in government spending will lead to a decrease in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to This decreases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is
1. If an economy has an MPC of 0.9 what is the multiplier? 2. If an economy has an MPS of 0.2 what is the multiplier? 3. If an economy has an MPC of .08 and the government needs to close a recessionary gap of 20 Billion dollars how much government spending should occur? 4. If an economy has an MPS of .05 and the government needs to close an inflationary gap of 10 Billion dollars how much should government spending decrease?
We found that for every $1 increase in G there is a multiplied impact on output with, in the most 1 basic model, a multiplier of A study by economists at the New York Fed conducted 1- MPC during the COVID-19 recession found that "as of the end of June 2020, a relatively small share of stimulus payments-ljust] 29 percent-was used for consumption." What is the G multiplier based on that estimated MPC and the formula from the basic model?
If consumption is C=100+0.75Yd Taxes is T=50+0.5Y Export is X=200 Import is M=50+0.25Y Government spending is G=150 Investment is I=200 .Use the multiplier applicable to export,to explain how a100–billion decline in demand for export could affect the economy’s: (i) GDP/income Answer An export multiplier is a multiplier that is applicable to export. The effect of a decline in demand by 100 billion on GDP/income will be computed by the export multiplier. Thus, Export Multiplier=1/(1−MPC+M) =1/(1-0.75+0.5)=1.33 The export multiplier shows that the GDP/income will be decreased by 1.33 billion with the decline in the 100-billion decline in the demand. please show how you get M=0.5
Suppose that there is an autonomous increase in investment spending of $20 billion and the MPC is given as 0.4, and assuming taxes, imports, and savings are all equal and there are no leakages: How large is the spending multiplier? Use the simple multiplier equation to calculate it. How much is the total change in GDP from this autonomous increase in investment spending? Do you think a larger or smaller MPC would help the economy, and why? What could be some concerns about the Keynesian spending multiplier?
