In the long run, what happens to consumption in the economy when people are saving less?
a) remains the same
b) cannot tell from the graph
c) decreases
d) increases
What does it mean by the logic:
When output is too low, what needed is an increase in demand for goods and services. Investment is one component of demand, and saving equals investment. Therefore, if the government could just convince households to attempt to save more, then investment and output would increase.
Assume that a country experiences a permanent increase in its saving rate. Which of the following will occur as a result of this increase in the saving rate?

The following graph shows the market for loanable funds. Show the impact of a change in the tax law that successfully encourages saving by shifting either the demand curve (D), the supply curve (S), or both. A tax law change that successfully encourages saving will (increase/decrease) interest rates, which leads to (less/more) investment and economic growth. To better understand how changes in tax laws can affect saving, suppose that Madison, a rising third-year in college, plans to save $550 from her summer job in order to buy textbooks for the upcoming fall semester. Madison's parents are so impressed with her plans that they offer to pay her an additional 30% interest per month on the money she saves, which means that Madison is now earning a large rate of return on her saving.

For each of the given scenarios, adjust the appropriate curve on the graph to help you complete the questions that follow. Treat each scenario separately by resetting the graph to its original state before examining the effect of each individual scenario. (graph in image) Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 25%. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to (a. fall, b. rise) and the level of investment spending to (a. increase, b. decrease). Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases…arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the catch-up effect?
