- According to the standard textbook Keynesian analysis, which is greater: the tax multiplier or the government spending multiplier? Explain the reasoning behind this relationship.arrow_forwardIn an economy, marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75 where Keynesian model works. Now, if government increases both its expenditure and taxes by 1000, then Income increases by 4000; Income increases by 3000; Income increases by 1000; Income do not change?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not an example of government spending hike that will increase aggregate demand? Answers: A. Unemployment compensation. B. Government purchase of new military jet fighters. C. The construction of a new highway. D. Government purchase of new health care plan for retirees.arrow_forward
- Two identical countries, Country A and Country B, can each be described by a Keynesian-cross model. The MPC is 0.6 in each country. Country A decides to increase government spending by $2 billion, while Country B decides to cut taxes by $2 billion. In which country will the new equilibrium level of income be greater? Show all computations.arrow_forwardIn the Keynesian-cross model, if the MPC equals 0.75, then a $3 billion decrease in taxes increases planned expenditures by and increases the equilibrium level of income by $3 billion; $9 billion $2.25 billion; $9 billion $2.25 billion; $2.25 billion $3 billion; $3 billionarrow_forwardUse the Keynesian cross to predict the impact on equilibrium GDP of equal-sized increases in both goovernment purchases and taxes.arrow_forward
- Let's say that our country's Gross Domestic Product is at $15 billion (this year). We also know that we currently have unemployment and that we would have full employment if our Gross Domestic Product were to reach $18.5 billion. If the Keynesian multiplier is 7, then what would Keynesian economists recommend regarding changes in government spending and taxation?arrow_forwardConsider the following income/expenditure diagram in the simple Keynesian model. If taxes, T, were increased, then Group of answer choices A) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the right, and equilibrium Y would increase. B) the C+I+G line would shift downward, and equilibrium Y would decrease. C) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the left, and equilibrium Y would decrease. D) neither of the lines would shift, and equilibrium Y would stay the same. E) the C+I+G line would shift upward, and equilibrium Y would increase.arrow_forwardConsider a Keynesian model but where investment (just like consumption) is increasing in aggregate income, e.g., because investment depends on business cash flow. Now that investment depends on aggregate income, a fiscal stimulus has more effect on equilibrium output.Answer true, false, or uncertain. Please briefly explain your answerarrow_forward
- Why will a temporary tax increase be insignificant in reducing consumption expenditures by the amount expectedarrow_forwardAccording to the Keynesian cross model, if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, by how much (i.e. how many billion dollars) will income increase if the government increases government purchases by $120 billion? Hint: Enter only the number of billions and no dollar sign in your response (e.g. enter only '100' in the case of $100 billion). billionarrow_forwardIn a Keynesian model, why would a $100 million increase in government expenditure on goodsand services have a greater impact on aggregate demand than a $100 million reduction in taxrevenue?A Consumers spend only part of any extra disposable income.B Government expenditure does not create wealth.C The marginal tax rate affects the value of the multiplier.D The multiplier does not apply to consumer expenditure.arrow_forward
