A) In 2011 the United States economy had a GDP of $14,991 billion according to the United
Nations. If consumption was $10,729 billion, government spending was $2,594 billion, and net exports was -$568 billion, how much was investment spending?

- 1. Briefly describe the concept multiplier. 2.Briefly describe the concept extrapolation.arrow_forwardIn the economy of Keynesian Island, autonomous consumption expenditure is $50 million, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. Investment is $160 million, government expenditure is $190 million, and net taxes are $250 million. Investment, government purchases, and taxes are constant—they do not vary with income. The island does not trade with the rest of the world. If the government increases its purchases by $200 million, what will be the change in the economy's equilibrium real GDP? Show the change on the graph as well.arrow_forwardLocate a news article that describes an event that would cause a shift in the Aggregate Demand (Aggregate Expenditure). Describe if the event would cause an “upward” or “downward” shift in the Aggregate Demand curve and why. Briefly explain how this then fits within the Consumption Function.arrow_forward
- economic The hypothetical information in the following table shows what the situation will be in 2016 if the government does not use fiscal policy: table (image) a. If the government wants to move real GDP to its potential level in 2016, should it use expansionary policy or contractionary policy? In your answer make sure you explain whether the government should be increasing or decreasing government purchases and taxes.b. If the government is successful in moving real GDP to its potential level in 2016, state whether each of the following will be higher, lower or the same as it would have been if they had taken no action: i.

Note that there are no transfer payments.arrow_forwardI and T are fixed (I=Io and T=to), so we know that if households attempt to save more, cet. par., Private saving will rise and the government budget deficit (GBD) will fall. Private saving will fall and the GBD will rise. Private saving will not change, but the GBD will rise. none of the above Provide appropriate name(s) and explain using I=sum of Saving.arrow_forward
- Explain why the multiplier effect of an increase in consumption spending of $100 billion is larger or smaller than the effect of a tax decrease of $100 billion. (Do not just say the spending multiplier is larger or smaller. Explain why.)arrow_forwardIn 2009, the U.S. economy was in a severe recession. The Federal Reserve had lowered the federal funds rate to about 0 percent, but still wanted to stimulate the economy more. The inflation rate in 2009 was about –1%, but households’ and businesses’ inflation expectations for the upcoming year were higher and positive, about 1.5%. a)First, do households’ and businesses’ investment demand depend on the ex ante or ex post real interest rate? Briefly explain why. b)Draw an IS-MP diagram that’s consistent with the state of the U.S. economy in 2009. Make sure that your IS and MP curves intersect in a place that is consistent with the setup of the problem, above. In particular, do your IS and MP curves intersect on the flat part of the MP curve, or the upward-sloping part? And do your IS and MP curves intersect at a positive real interest rate or a negative real interest rate? c)Suppose that the U.S. Congress and President pass a fiscal stimulus package that increases government spending.…arrow_forwardThe Following Questions include graphs that I cannot upload if you can please help with visuals also, thank you. The following graph shows the consumption function (C) for a hypothetical private closed economy and a 45-degree line along which aggregate expenditure equals real GDP (AE=Y). Recall that a private closed economy does not have government and does not trade with the rest of the world (so G=0 and (X-M)=0). In a private closed economy, real GDP is equal to disposable income. At the current real interest rate, the level of investment in this economy is equal to $50 billion at each level of real GDP. Use the blue line (circle symbols) to plot this economy's initial aggregate expenditure line, (C + I). Then, use the black point (X symbol) to indicate this economy's initial equilibrium output. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. (Hint: You can see two of the coordinates along the consumption function by mousing over the green triangles on the graph.)
