Suppose Congress enacts a tax reform law, and the average federal tax rate drops from 30 per- cent to 20 percent. Researchers investigate the impact of the tax cut and find that the income subject to the tax increases from $600 billion to $800 billion. The theoretical explanation is that workers have increased their work effort in response to the incentive of lower taxes. Is this a movement along the downward-sloping or the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer curve?
What is meant by dynamic inconsistency? Give at least two examples of policies that are dynamically inconsistent.
Suppose policy makers decide to reduce the tax
rate. Show this in an IS-LM(policy rule) graph.

For this discussion: Using an example ( 2-3 sentences), demonstrate why it is important to consider both perspectives when making policy decisions ( Explain 2-3 sentences). Is there a time when it is appropriate to not worry about the long run?

- In the long run, an increase in government purchases will raise the price level, but not production or employment. True or falsearrow_forwardSuppose that the government believes the economy is not producing goods and services at its optimal level. In an attempt to stimulate the economy, the government increases the quantity of money in the economy by printing more money. This monetary policy the economy's demand for goods and services, leading to product prices. In the short run, the change in prices induces firms to produce goods and services. This, in turn, leads to a level of unemployment. In other words, the economy faces a trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Higher inflation leads to unemployment.arrow_forwardSuppose the US Federal Government decides to increase its spending without issuing debt by raising additional taxes (i.e., tax-financed government spending).
