I. Taiwan has an income tax rate, t1, of 28% and a Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) of 0.4. It is in Eqm but is currently suffering from an "inflationary gap" of $350 m. (that is, Eqm Y>Y full employment, FE, aka Yn). Make the necessary calculations for the to policy that should be instituted. Provide the full name of this policy. II. Most economists believe that tariffs are not the best way to reduce the US trade-balance deficit -- the fact that US IM>US X. (Macro problems should be fixed with macro tools and tariffs are a micro tool.) Derive the identity for Y from the expenditure approach for an open economy to discuss what it means when a country is running a trade-balance deficit and whether it is an economic "good" or "bad." Then derive the twin-deficit identity and use it to explain why the US runs trade-balance deficits and what can be done, if anything, to reduce them. Make all your assumptions clear.
