The Aggregate Expenditure Model is traditionally called the” Keynesian Cross”. Use the Aggregate Expenditure Keynesian Cross diagram to show what happens to the economy under the following conditions: (Note that is different from the AS-AD Model.) What happens in the model if government expenditures are increased (G↑)? What happens if taxes are raised (T↑)? What happens to the US economy if the rest of the world experiences economic growth and imports more US goods (X↑)?
In the Keynesian cross model, assume that the consumption function is given by C = 20 + 0.8(Y- T). Planned investment is 200; government purchases and taxes are both 400. There is no foreign trade. An economist has claimed that the full employment level of output is 2,400. How much should the government expenditure or taxes rise or fall to achieve full employment?

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6. Use the Keynesian Cross model to predict the impact on equilibrium income of each of the following policies. State the direction of the change and give a formula for the size of the impact. a. an increase in government purchases of $100billion b. an increase in taxes of $100 billion c. a $100 billion increase in both government purchases and taxes?
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.
