60 Suppose the government, in an effort to avoid an increase in the deficit, votes for a budget neutral tax cut policy. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is equal to 0.85 and taxes are cut by $8 billion. Round answers to the nearest billion, and specify decreases as a negative number. By how much will government spending change? change in government spending: $ What is the resulting change in the equilibrium level of real GDP? change in equilibrium level of real GDP: $ billion

Answer the questions below for the economy of Motak using the graph below. Government spending / net taxes 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 The Economy of Motak 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 Real GDP INTR G1 Tools G₂ 2
G= Government spending Tax revenues Real GDP $160 $100 $500 $160 $120 $600 $160 $140 $700 $160 $160 $800 $160 $180 $900 a) If GDP is $600, while full-employment GDP is $700, how large is the current budget deficit? How large is the structural budget deficit? b) Is Averna's current fiscal policy expansionary or contractionary? How can you tell? What would you expect to happen to GDP over the long run?
07. What factors make an expansionary "stimulus" fiscal policy effective? One answer a) A government budget deficit associated with fiscal stimulus should should borrow money from those who spend less and save more, to those who spend more and save less. b) A permanent decrease in taxes is more effective in stimulating spending than a temporary one c) An increase in government purchases of goods and services should be temporary and should not permanently displace private spending d) The most expansionary way of financing the budget deficit associated with a fiscal stimulus policy is by the central bank expanding the quantity of money in circulation. e) Infrastructure investment belongs with long-term growth policy, but invariably makes a poor element in stimulus policy because such investment normally take a long time to implement. f) All the above
3. Explain how expansionary fiscal policy can close a recessionary gap using an appropriate diagram. Note: Use the following terms. They are: Long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS). short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), Aggregate demand (AD). Real GDP price level. potential GDP, etc.
The overall effects of contractionary fiscal policy are a __________ in income, _________ in money demand, ____________ in the interest rate and a ________ in investment. a decrease, decrease, increase, decrease. b decrease, decrease, decrease, increase. c decrease, decrease, decrease, decrease. d none of the listed options. e decrease, increase, decrease, increase.
3. Suppose an economy is represented by the following equations. Consumption function C= 200 + 0.8Yd Planned investment I= 400 Government spending G= 600 Exports EX= 200 Imports IM = 0.1Yd Autonomous Taxes T= 500 Marginal Tax Rate t=0.2 Planned aggregate expenditure AE = C+I+G+ (EX - IM) By using the above information calculate the equilibrium level of income for this economy and explain why fiscal policy becomes less effective in an open economy

Suppose the economy reaches equilibrium GDP at $1,250,000 while potential GDP is at $1,500,000. Currently G=$180,000 while taxes are equal to 0.1Y (where Y is the same as real GDP). a. How large is the recessionary gap in this economy? b. At equilibrium GDP, is there a budget surplus or deficit? Solve for the value of this surplus or deficit. At the potential GDP, is there a surplus or deficit? Solve for the value of the full- employment surplus or deficit. d. Does there exist a cyclical surplus or deficit? Solve for its value C.
