Question
Suppose an economy is represented by the following equations.
Consumption function C = 200 + 0.8Yd
Planned investment I = 400
Government spending G = 600
Exports EX = 200
Imports IM = 0.1Yd
Autonomous Taxes T = 500
Marginal Tax Rate t=0.2
Planned aggregate expenditure AE = C + I + G + (EX - IM)
By using the above information calculate the equilibrium level of income for this economy and explain why fiscal policy becomes less effective in an open economy

The government in this economy imposes a tax d rate of 0 < t < 1 to households' income (ex. A t = 0.10 means that 10% of households' income goes to tax payments).arrow_forward

- Define the tax multiplier and give the algebraic expression.arrow_forwardPresident Biden has proposed a $2.2 trillion Infrastructure package to repair roads and bridges. The exact source of the funds is unclear at the time of construction of this exam, but some policy analysts think that at least one part of the funding will be an increase in the federal excise tax on gasoline. Suppose the size of this increase in excise tax is written as t. Using a graph and equilibrium, analyze and explain the impact of this t dollars per gallon increase in excise tax on gasoline. Which of the curve(s), if any, would shift, and why? Graphically, show the new equilibrium price and quantity (labeling it P1 and Q1). At the new equilibrium, please determine how much of the tax increase was borne by gasoline consumers and how much was absorbed by gasoline sellers? Indicate the incidence of taxation for both consumers and sellers on the graph and explain. What will determine whether consumers or sellers will bear a higher relative burden of taxation? Please explain in detail.arrow_forwardSuppose the economy of Apple Republic is represented by the following equations: Z = C +|+ G C = 500 + .5YD T= 600 |= 300 YD = Y - T G = 2000 (Enter number only into the boxes) a. Given the above variables, calculate the equilibrium level of output (Y) disposable income (Yp) and consumption (C) Hint: First specify (using the above numbers) the demand equation (Z) for this economy. Second, using the equilibrium condition, equate this expression with Y. Once you have done this, solve for the equilibrium level of output (Y). Third, once you get Y, you can T from Y to get Yp. Finally, once you get Yp, you substitute it into the consumption equation to get consumption (C). b. Now, assume that government spending decreases from 2000 to 1900. What is the new equilibrium level of output (Y) ? What is the multiplier for this economy c. Now, assume that G is still at 2000, but taxes increase from 600 to 700.

- Question 1 Use the following equations to answer the questions below. The Peruvian economy can be characterized by these equations below. C = 400+ 0.6Yd Taxes = 600 Equilibrium Output = $4,000 a) Graph the consumption function in the income/output and aggregate expenditures space. Label your horizontal axis income/output (Y) and your vertical axis (AE). Label the vertical intercept and at least one other coordinate on the consumption function. What is the sum of investment and government purchases at equilibrium? Show your work. b) c) d) What is the equation for aggregate expenditure? Graph the aggregate expenditure function in the same graph from (a). Label the vertical intercept and equilibrium. At equilibrium, what is the level of saving in Peru? Show your work. On a separate graph, draw the saving function. Label your horizontal axis income/output (Y) and your vertical axis saving (S). Label the vertical intercept and horizontal intercept. e) The President of Peru hires you as an…arrow_forwardYou can use the AE model to show that an increase in government purchases can increase output but in many cases it is hard to find useful things for the government to quickly spend money on. Many people in Boston say "the T is so slow, why not spend it on building or replacing the subway lines?" but new subways lines can take years to plan. A fast alternative is to cut net taxes by sending people transfer payments. Consider a standard AE model with this consumption function, C=4+0.5Y-bT and unknown and unimportant values for planned investment and planned government purchases. What is the "T multiplier," which is defined as the change in equilibrium income per $1 increase in taxes? -b -2b +b +2b O O O Oarrow_forwardIncome Expenditures 0 100 100 150 200 200 300 250 Refer to the table above to answer the following: (a) At an income level of $200, how much is autonomous expenditures and how much is induced? (b) Given the expenditures function AE = $4,000 + 0.6Y and income of $1,000, how much is spent and how much is induced?arrow_forward
