Suppose the government implements fiscal consolidation by cutting spending while the nominal interest rate is already at zero or near zero percent. Given πeequals to π ̅ , fiscal consolidation will likely lead to: a. Increasing inflation, decreasing real interest rate and a recession b. Increasing inflation and real interest rates, and a recession c. Deflation spiral, decreasing real interest rate and a recession d. Deflation spiral, increasing real interest rate and a recession e. All of the answers here are incorrect

Illustrate and explain the effect of the policy using AD-AS curve. b.

Question 2 Answer the questions on the effects of active fiscal policy on the economy in various scenarios: Suppose, the financial crisis in Asia Pacific region reduces the demand for Singaporean exports. This negative demand shock severely affects Singapore which is a small open economy. As a result, Singaporean economy went into recession (output falls below the potential level). Assume, economy was in good shape before the shock (operating at its potential capacity Y*). Suppose the government of Singapore decide to boost its spending (G) to counteract the fall in AD due to fall in exports (NX component of AD). Do you think government has to increase G by the same amount as fall in NX? Explain your reasoning in 50 words or less. Is crowding out a concern here?
22. Consider a Keynesian model but where both investment and consumption are increasing in aggregate income, e.g., because investment depends on business cash flow. Now that investment depends positively on aggregate income, fiscal stimulus has less effect on equilibrium output. True/False. Remember to include your explanation.
