6. The multiplier effect Consider a hypothetical economy. Households spend $0.60 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.40. The multiplier for this economy is Suppose government purchases, G, in this economy increase by $250 billion. The increase in G will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in G on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on national income. Note: Use negative signs if numbers are negative. Change in G = $250 billion First Change in Consumption = 2$ billion Second Change in Consumption = 2$ billion Total Change in Income = billion Now consider the impact of a similar change in taxes. The (absolute value) of the tax multiplier in this question will be ; thus, if taxes change by $250 billion, spending will change by $ billion. Based on your results, this Keynesian model predicts that a change in will have the larger effect on income, given the initial change in planned expenditures is of the same magnitude.

Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. The following graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD₂). Suppose the government increases its purchases by $5 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD) is parallel to AD. You can see the slope of AD, by selecting it on the following graph. 118 114 112 110 108 106 104 102 100 H 100 105 110 115 120 125 130 135 140 OUTPUT (Bloof dollar) 15.0 The following graph shows the money market in equilibrium at an interest rate of 7.5% and a quantity of money equal to $45 billion. 10.0 401 Show the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph. 7.5 25 0 15 Money Supply Morey Demand 30 45 60 MONEY (Billens of…

1. Graphing the consumption function from the MPC Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50¢. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $450 billion and consumption was $350 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data. CONSUMPTION (Billions of dollars) 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 -100 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 DISPOSABLE INCOME (Billions of dollars) 700 800 (?) From the preceding data, you know that the level of saving in the economy last year was $ economy is billion and the marginal propensity to save in this Suppose that this year, disposable income is projected to be $550 billion. Based on your analysis, you would expect consumption to be S billion and saving to be $ billion.

2. The consumption function Consider a country with the national income of $12 billion, the amount of taxes paid by households of $3 billion, and household consumption of $7 billion. Suppose that the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's consumption function. Hint: You should plot the first point where household consumption equals $7 billion. Then, plot the second point when real disposable income rises by $4 billion. REAL CONSUMPTION (Billions of dollars) 20 18 16 + 14 12 10 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 REAL DISPOSABLE INCOME (Billions of dollars) -0 O $7.75 billion O $9.75 billion O $7.5 billion O $10.75 billion Consumption Function (?) Suppose now that country's national income increases to $13 billion. Assuming the amount paid in taxes is fixed at $3 billion and MPC= 0.75, what will be the new household consumption?
