Suppose that autonomous consumption (a) is 300, private investment spending (I) is 420,government spending (G) is 400 , Net taxes (T) are 400 and marginal propensity to consume(b) is 80 %, and marginal tax rate (t) is 25 % . By using the above information: b) Suppose that the potential income level is 2500 in the economy. In this case, what kind offiscal policy you can use to reach the full employment level. (show this numerically andexplain it on your graph)
Suppose taxes increase in the current period and there is no change to current or future governmentexpenditures. What does Ricardian equivalence predict will be the impact on consumption decisions? (a) Decrease in current consumption and a decrease in saving(b) Decrease in future consumption and an increase in future consumption(c) No change in current consumption and a decrease in future consumption(d) No change in consumption and a decrease in saving.
Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2250. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3050 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?
Suppose that for a particular economy, for some time period, consumption was given by theconsumption function C = 300 + 0.9YD, investment was equal to 200, government expenditure wasequal to 100, net taxes were fixed at 100, exports were equal to 200, and imports were given by theimports function Z = 10 + 0.1YD. Note that YD represents disposable income. a.Suppose households earn $150 more in their disposable income. How much more would theyconsume in total? How much go to domestic goods and how much go to imported goods? Howmuch would they end up saving? b.What is the level of equilibrium income? What about the level of consumption and import? c.What are the values of the government spending multiplier, tax multiplier and balanced-budgetmultiplier? d.Suppose the investment level suddenly declined by 20. How should the government stabilize theeconomy? Please provide all options in detail
Assume: Y= C + I + G + NX C = 400 + (0.8)YD Io = 200 G = 300 + (0.1)(Y* - Y) YD = Y - TA + TR NXo = - 40 TA = (0.25)Y TRo = 50 From the model above you can see that government purchases (G) are counter-cyclical, that is, G is increased as national income decreases. If you compare this specification of G with one that has a constant level of government spending (for example, Go = 300), how would the value of the expenditure multiplier differ?
Elaborate on the difference between a binding and non-binding borrowing constraints and thetwo consumption functions that result.b. From the Intertemporal Choice Model, many theories (non-Keynesian theories ofConsumption) came into being. Using graphical and mathematical expressions, compareand contrast the following theories on consumption behaviours:i. Franco Modigliani: Life-Cycle Hypothesisii. Milton Friedman: Permanent-Income Hypothesisiii. Robert Hall: Random Walk Hypothesis
Assume that in 2015, the following prevails in theRepublic of Nurd:Y = $200 G = $0C = $160 T = $0S = $40I (planned) = $30Assume that households consume 80 percent of their income, they save 20 percent of their income, MPC = 0.8,and MPS = 0.2. That is, C = 0.8Yd and S = 0.2Yd.a. Is the economy of Nurd in equilibrium? What is Nurd’sequilibrium level of income? What is likely to happen inthe coming months if the government takes no action?b. If $200 is the “full-employment” level of Y, what fiscal policy might the government follow if its goal is fullemployment?c. If the full-employment level of Y is $250, what fiscalpolicy might the government follow?d. Suppose Y = $200, C = $160, S = $40, and I = $40. IsNurd’s economy in equilibrium?e. Starting with the situation in part d, suppose the government starts spending $30 each year with no taxationand continues to spend $30 every period. If I remains
onsider 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 is equilibrium Y? (Hint: Substitute the values of equations for planned consumption, investment, and government spending into the equation Y = C + I + G and then solve for Y.) What are equilibrium consumption, private saving, public saving, and national saving?
Give typed solution only assume an economy has an MPC of .5 and their full employment level of output is $500 billion. If their current GDP is $600 billion, what could their government do to try ans correct this? a) decrease taxes by $50 billion b) decrease government spending by $50 billion c) increase government spending by $50 billion d) increase taxes by $50 billion
In our construction of the savings and investment model, weconsidered government spending to be immediate spending. In otherwords, there was no “investment” component to government spending.Let’s change up that assumption. Suppose government spending comesin two types: investment spending (new airports, for example) aswell as government consumption (snow plowing, for example). Callthe first GI and the second GCE.
Please no written by hand and no emage Suppose that in the economy under consideration the consumption function can be written as C = 200 + .8(Y – T). Furthermore, you know that taxes are autonomous and equal to $10. Now, suppose that investment spending is equal to $50 at every level of disposable income and government spending is constant and equal to $100 at every level of disposable income, suppose that (X – M) is constant and equal to $20 at every level of disposable income. (a)Draw a graph of the consumption function with respect to disposable income. Measure/show consumption spending on the vertical axis and disposable income on the horizontal axis (b) Calculate equilibrium national income Ye from the information given. (c) From the information given above is the government running a deficit or surplus budget? Explain why. (d) Full employment output in this economy (Yf) is equal to $2000 what do you predict is happening to inventories if the full employment level of output is…
In a keynesian model it is assumed that the consumption function is given by C= 2000 + 0.75 (Y-T) and the planned investment is 1,000 government purchases and taxes are both of those and formulate and draw a graph of planned expenditure as a function of income What is the equilibrium level in the part above If the government purchases increased by 1250 what is the equilibrium income With the aid of a algebra prove that a balanced budget multiplier is always equals to 1
