ECO 2302 PRIN MACO W/MYECO ACC >IP<, Chapter 17, Problem 1.1P

In Figure 1, the horizontal axis depicts the aggregate output (GDP) and the vertical axis depicts the price level. The likely effects of the major tax cut when the economy is not operating at a capacity and the Fed accommodates by increasing the money supply is the increase in the level of real GDP which is likely to be inflationary in nature. The effect on the price level depends on the level of closeness to the capacity the economy is operating.

In the long run, wages respond to the inflation. (c) Scenario 3: The economy initially in the long run equilibrium at point C, and the federal government implements an increase in corporate income taxes and personal income taxes.
