4. Deficits in new classical economics Felix lives in the fictional country of Lindelof, which raises government revenue by taxing everyone the same amount. The government of Lindelof has just implemented a tax cut that reduces annual taxes by $3,500 per person. However, government spending has not changed, nor is it likely change in the future. The tax cut has raised Felix's income by $3,500. If Felix acts according to the prediction of new classical economics (and doesn't plan to leave Lindelof), his consumption is likely to increase by Suppose that instead of cutting taxes while keeping its spending the same, the government did the opposite: it increased its spending by $3,500 per person while keeping taxes the same. If everyone in Lindelof acted like Felix, the likely increase in aggregate demand would be per person.

The government would like to stimulate aggregate demand and is deciding whether it should increase its spending by $1 billion or reduce income tax by $1 billion. Assume other things remain constant, and the marginal propensity to consume remains at 0.75. Before any multiplier effect takes place, a $1 billion increase in government spending will increase the aggregate demand by s $1 billion reduction in income tax will increase the aggregate demand by billion, while a billion.

Effects of a government budget deficit Consider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget. Real Interest Rate National Saving Domestic Investment Net Capital Outflow (Percent) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 7 55 25 -10 6 50 35 -5 5 45 45 0 4 40 55 5 3 35 65 10 2 30 75 15 Given the information in the preceding table, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market.
Consider an economy described by the following equations. Y=C+I+G C=100+.75(Y−T) I=500−50r G=125 T=100 Where: Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, T is taxes and r is the rate of interest. Question: 1. Assuming that no change in fiscal policy, what is the effect of a reduction in interest rate from 4 percent to 3 percent on equilibrium output? 2. Suppose the Central Bank policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r=4. What is the value of output?
In a closed economy, Y = $19 billion C = $15.2 billion I = $1.9 billion TR = $4.0 billion T =$3.0 billion Calculate each of the following (round each answer to one decimal place). Private savings = $ ____billion Public savings = $____billion Total savings in this economy = $____ billion The government's budget deficit or surplus = $____billion (enter a negative number for a deficit, positive number for surplus).
