The government announces a cut in the income tax rate. (a) Explain the multiplier effect by analysing how a typical consumer would react to this tax cut and which other decisions this reaction would trigger in the economy.

An economy's IS curve represents the following markets. Goods: slc = 4 MPC = 0.7 G = 10 T = 9 Finance: I = 10 - 90r and r = 0.047 Currently, expenditure Y0 = 44.9. However the government decides to embark on a fiscal expansion, setting G to G1=12. The expenditure reacts to the new government spending G. Before the interest rate or anything else has time to react, the new expenditure is 51.567 Now we're adding an LM curve to the economy from above. The money market is given by M/P = 0.02 / (r - Y/10,300)^2 M = 22 P = 2 1. We continue with the fiscal expansion scenario, with G0=10 and G1=12. Draw a new graph that includes the LM curve and both the IS curves. Show how at the same old unchanged r = 0.047 the volume of transactions supported by the money market is lower than the expenditure afforded by the goods and financial markets. That is, map r=0.047 into the expenditure, Y1, and into the original volume of transactions, Y0. 2. Now let's let the three markets interact and choose the…
The country is experiencing a serious rise in inflation which the government wants to control through fiscal policy. The Government will decrease spending by $20 million and increase taxes by $15 million. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.80. What will be the effect on GDP and by how much? A recessionary gap is how much GDP needs to increase from the current GDP to achieve full employment. Let's say that we are experiencing a recessionary gap of $36 million. Also assume that the MPC equals .80. The government decides to decrease taxes to close the recessionary gap. How much will be the tax decrease? An inflationary gap is how much GDP needs to decrease from the current GDP to maintain employment while avoiding inflation. Let's say that we are experiencing an inflationary gap of $200 million. The government decides to increase taxes. Assume the MPC equals .80. How much will the tax increase be? The government wants to achieve a balanced budget. It therefore increases…
Suppose the Republic of Newbee fixes the value of its currency, the Nam, to the dollar. In the U.S., the inflation rate is higher than the target inflation rate set by the Fed. The Fed then decides to reduce the money supply in the U.S. How will Newbee be affected by this action by the Fed. Use the DD/AA model to explain and graph your answer. Based on your answers can the government of Newbee use fiscal policy to stabilize Newbee’s real GDP? Explain and graph using the DD/AA
