A. Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of .75 is experiencing severe recession. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $70 billion? B. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand?
Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand show the relationship between economic output (GDP) and price levels in the macro-economy at a given point in time. Define the terms ‘Aggregate Demand’ and ‘Aggregate Supply.’ State TWO (2) monetary and TWO (2) fiscal policies that government can adopt, to effect change in Aggregate Demand.
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $40 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T). Increase spending by $ billion. Increase taxes by $ billion.
Suppose actual real GDP is $7.87 trillion, potential real GDP is $14.36 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.61. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its lump sum taxes to fix the gap? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
What is the Laffer Curve, and how does it relate to supply-side economics? Why is determining the economy’s location on the curve so important in assessing tax policy?
What is the change in aggregate demand if the government increases taxes by $86,000 and people tend to spend $0.84 of every dollar of disposable income that they earn? Give your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer, but do be sure to include a negative sign if you get a negative answer. Your Answer: Answer
