Suppose we have the following information for the simple (fixed r, fixed P, fixed W) Keynesian model. C = 400 + 0.8 I = 310 G = 140 = 400 + 0.8 (Y - T) T = 200, where C is the consumption function, (Y - T) is disposable income, I is investment, G is government spending, and T is taxes.

C = 400 + 0.8 I = 310 G = 140 = 400 + 0.8 (Y - T) T = 200, where C is the consumption function, (Y - T) is disposable income, I is investment, G is government spending, and T is taxes If government spending increased by $80, equilibrium Y would Group of answer choices A) increase by $400. B) decrease by $160. C) increase by $80. D) increase by $320. E) increase by approximately $106.67.

B) increase by $150. C) increase by $135. D) decrease by $40. E) increase by $200.
Two identical countries, Country A and Country B, can each be described by a Keynesian-cross model. The MPC is 0.6 in each country. Country A decides to increase government spending by $2 billion, while Country B decides to cut taxes by $2 billion. In which country will the new equilibrium level of income be greater? Show all computations.
Consider the following income/expenditure diagram in the simple Keynesian model. If taxes, T, were increased, then Group of answer choices A) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the right, and equilibrium Y would increase. B) the C+I+G line would shift downward, and equilibrium Y would decrease. C) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the left, and equilibrium Y would decrease. D) neither of the lines would shift, and equilibrium Y would stay the same. E) the C+I+G line would shift upward, and equilibrium Y would increase.
Consider a 4-sector Keynesian model like that discussed in class with the following characteristics: exogenous consumption=2000, exogenous taxation=100, government spending=1000, exports=400, planned investment=400. The marginal propensity to save=20%, the marginal tax rate=20% and the marginal propensity to import=40%. The potential output for this economy is 6000. Note that import demand depends on disposable income. a) At its short run equilibrium, this economy is experiencing __________ (a contractionary/an expansionary) gap of __________ (round to 2 decimal places) b) Following the outbreak of a pandemic in the above economy, exogenous consumption falls to 1000 and the marginal propensity to save increases to 40%. In order for this economy to experience a zero output gap, government spending must ____________ (increase/decrease) by ____________ . Assume all other quantities remain unchanged
In the Keynesian cross model, assume that the consumption function is given by C = 100 + 0.75(Y - T). If government spending increases by AG = 100, what is the increase in output? How does your answer change when the spending increase is financed by an equal increase in taxes?
Please write down whether the following statements are true or false, and explain your answer very briefly A)If actual investment is greater than planned investment, inventories increase more than planned. B)The marginal propensity to consume is the change in consumption expenditure divided by the percentage change in income. C)Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of all goods and services produced in an economy over a particular time period. D)Monetary policy refers to taxation and spending policies implemented by government. E)In a simple Keynesian model (with lump-sum taxes and a MPC of 0.8), a tax cut of 20 billion TL will have less of an impact on GDP than an increase in government spending of 10 billion TL. D)When you take 1000 TL from your savings account and deposit it in your checking account, M2 decreases. F)An open market purchase of government securities (such as Treasury Bills) by the Central Bank will decrease the money supply and raise the interest rate.…

In the Keynesian-Cross model, if autonomous investment increases by 100 and government transfers decrease by 100, which of the following is true? A. Income will increase by 100. B. Income will increase by the multiplier times 100. C. Income will not change. D. Income will decrease by the multiplier times 100. E. Income will increase, but we can’t say by how much.
If the simple Keynesian macroeconomic model is used to explain expansionary fiscal policy, which of the following can be concluded with regard to macroeconomic equilibrium? a) That firms experience an unplanned increase in their inventories. b) The economy will move towards equilibrium. c) Inventory levels will rise above the equilibrium level. d) The effect on equilibrium cannot be determined given the information given
