We know the following about a closed economy:
• Taxes: T = 20
. Government spending: G = 20 • Consumption: C = 10 + 0.6(Y - T)
where Y denotes the GDP. We also know that investment is constant but we ignore its value. One day, the government initiates a Keynesian stimulus to support the economy. It increases spending to 40. To avoid a big increase in public debt, it also increases taxes to 30.
What is the variation of GDP?
Select one:
a. It increases by 30
b. It increases by 35.
c. It increases by 40
d. It increases by 50
