The economy of Newland is in short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. The current real output is $400 billion, and the full employment output is $500 billion. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. (a) Is the economy experiencing a recessionary output gap or an inflationary output gap? Explain. (b) Assume Newland’s government is considering taking action to close the output gap identified in part (a). (i) Calculate the minimum change and indicate the direction of change in government spending required to shift the aggregate demand curve to close the output gap. Show your work. (ii) If instead Newland’s government changes income taxes without changing government spending, calculate the minimum change and indicate the direction of change in income taxes required to shift the aggregate demand curve to close the output gap. Show your work. (c) Which fiscal policy action, changing government spending or changing income taxes, is more effective in closing the output gap? Explain. (d)…

The graph below depicts an economy where a decline in aggregate demand has caused a recession. Assume the government decides to conduct fiscal policy by changing taxes to reduce the burden of this recession. Fiscal Policy Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. If you are entering a negatlve number Include a minus sign. a. How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrilum? $, billion b. If the MPC is 0.6 , how much do taxes need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? $, billion Suppose Instead that the MPC is 0.8 . c. How much does aggregate demand and taxes need to change to restore the economy to Its long-run equilibrlum? Aggregate demand needs to change by $ billion and taxes need to change by $ billion.
Only typed answer a. How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? $ ___billion b. Assuming the MPC in this nation is 0.75, how much do government purchases need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? $ ___billion c. Now suppose the MPC is 0.6. To restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium, aggregate demand must be changed by $ ___billion and government purchases must be changed by $ ___billion.
pls answer urgent all question Q1,a,b,c . Q1-Suppose the government reduces taxes by $20 billion, that there is no crowding out, and that the marginal propensity to consume is ¾. a. What is the initial effect of the tax reduction on aggregate demand? b. What additional effects follow this initial effect? What is the total effect of the tax cut on aggregate demand? c.How does the total effect of this $40billion tax cut compare to the total effect of a $40 billion in governmentpurchases? Why?
iv) Using relevant diagrams, illustrate and explain how an increase (decrease) in government spending of $10b would affect aggregate demand, output and price level in the economy. You should assume an upward sloped-aggregate supply curve.
3. a) Suppose that the macroeconomic equilibrium is determined in the closed economy (AE = C+I +G). Show and explain the effects of an increase in marginal tax rate (t) on macroeconomic equilibrium. b) Why do you think increase in government expenditure causes crowding-out effect (use graphs when necessary
5. Fiscal pollcy, the money market, and aggregate demand Suppose there is some hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the $0.50 they have left over. The following graph plots the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD1). Suppose now that the government increases its purchases by $2.5 billion. / Tools Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD,) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (ADs) is parallel to ADj. You can see the slope of ADi by selecting it on the following graph. Suppose that for every increase in the interest rate of one percentage point, the level of investment spending declines by $0.5 billion. Based on the changes made to the money market in the previous scenario, the new interest rate causes the level of investment spending to _____ by____ A-z T Tips Tips Taking the multiplier effect into account, the…
