Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 1100. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3850
By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?
(round your answer to the nearest whole value)
13. Suppose that two countries differ on in the size of their MPC, where the MPC is high in country A and low in country B. Draw IS/LM and AD/AS curves for each country. In which country will monetary policy be most effective at changing income? Fiscal policy?
14 If government spending and taxes both change by the same amount, how much must they change to eliminate the recessionary gap?
15. Suppose the MPC is .90 and the MPI is .10. If govern- ment expenditures go up $100 billion while taxes fall

Suppose also that autonomous consumption is $150, intended investment is $60, and the mpc is 0.50. How much additional autonomous spending (for instance, from the government) is needed to move the economy to full employment? 2.)Suppose a closed economy with no government spending or taxing is capable of producing an output of $1200 at full employment. Suppose also that autonomous consumption is $120, intended investment is $70, and the mpc is 0.50.

- Suppose the federal government gives taxpayers a tax cut financed by borrowing. If taxpayers their debts, total spending will: O decrease. O first increase and then decrease. O increase. O remain unchanged.arrow_forward2. Suppose the economy is in recession. Policymakers estimate that aggregate demand is$100 billion short of the amount necessary to generate the long run natural rate of output.That is, if aggregate demand were shifted to the right by $100 billion, the economy would be inlong run equilibrium.a. Explain the impact on the economy if the government chooses to use fiscal policy to stabilizethe economy and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is given as 0.75 with no crowdingout.b. If there is a crowding out effect and investment is very sensitive to changes in the interest rate,should the government increase spending more or less than this amount?arrow_forward9)Calculate how much output would expand by if the government increased spending by $500 billion and financed this spending by increasing lump-sum taxes by the same amount.arrow_forward

The Federal Reserve and federal government agencies hold more than half the public debt. c. As a percentage of GDP, the federal debt held by the public was smaller in 2010 than it was in 1990. d. As a percentage of GDP, the total U.S. public debt is the highest such debt among the world’s advanced industrial nations.arrow_forwardSuppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economy�s multiplier is 3. If household wealth falls by 6 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 2 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level? The aggregate demand curve will shift_____ by $____ billion. In what direction and by how much will it eventually shift? The aggregate demand curve will shift_____ by $____ billion..arrow_forwardNow we're adding an LM curve to the economy from Question 1. The money market is given by M/P = 0.02 / (r - Y/10,300)^2 M = 22 P = 2 We continue with the fiscal expansion scenario, with G0=10 and G1=12. Draw a new graph that includes the LM curve and both the IS curves. Show how at the same old unchanged r = 0.047 the volume of transactions supported by the money market is lower than the expenditure afforded by the goods and financial markets. That is, map r=0.047 into the expenditure you found in Question 2, Y1, and into the original volume of transactions, Y0.arrow_forward
