Suppose fiscal policy makers implement a policy to reduce the size of a budget deficit. Based on the IS-LM model, we know with certainty that the following will occur as a result of this fiscal policy action.
A) Investment spending will decrease.
B) Investment spending will increase.
C) There will be no change in investment spending.
D) Investment spending may increase, decrease, or not change.
E) none of the above
The US Government is facing major budget deficit deciding between implementing fiscal and monetary policy to boost output back to potential output.
In the presence of expectations, using the IS-LM model graph the effects on the US economy from a contractionary fiscal policy?
What would happen if this change is perceived as permanent by investors? Graph and explain.
What would happen if the government was perceived as wasteful? Graph and explain.
Assume that an economy is experiencing simultaneous equilibrium in both the product market and money market. Furthermore, assume the MPC is currently around a normal level of 0.65 and the sensitivity of real money demand to also around a normal level. Using the AD-AS model and IS-LM model illustrate the impact of an expansionary fiscal policy. Label the initial points in both diagrams as A and the new points following the policy change as B.
If the MPC rises to 0.8 and also the sensitivity of real money demand to changes in the income rises well, use the IS-LM model to illustrate the impact of an expansionary fiscal policy. Label the initial point prioer to the fiscal policy as A and the new point following the expansionary policy as B.
explain the reasons that underly differences in policy effectiveness.

Assume that the economy, as depicted in an AD/AS framework is at: potential (full employment) output, The intersection of the SRAD, SRAS, and LRAS, all intersect at the level of potential (full employment) output and a corresponding price level ( or an acceptable rate of inflation). The economy's mpc is .75, which is presumed to remain constant. Now, global problems emerge, and the US decided to produce many new fighter jets immediately to the region under duress. The new jets will cost $55 b., and other expenditures by the government cannot be cut. The president is concerned that the new expenditures will create an inflation, but needs to produce the new jets immediately. What policies would you propose, that would enable the country to produce the new jets, without creating an inflation? Use the AD/AS framework to illustrate your answer.
