Based on what we observed in the module on public finance, select all true statements. O The largest decline of the real net debt for the Canadian federal government happened around 2000. Among the OECD countries, the Canadian government (all governments) is among the most indebted countries (above the median), if debt is measured by the gross debt as a percentage of GDP. O Over the 1960-2020 period, the main source of revenue for all governments shifted from income taxes to taxes on production and imports. O None of the above

Given the ratio of govemment debt to GDP in nominal term is: PY Where B is the nominal value of government bonds (debts) outstanding, P is the price level and Y is real GDP. Assume that the total deficit of government budget will be financed by issuing new debt. 1. Prove that change in the ratio of government debt to GDP is (total deficit/GDP) minus the product of (Debt/GDP) and growth rate of nominal GDP. 2. Using the formula proved in part 1 to find the largest nominal deficit that the government can run without raising the debt/GDP ratio, under the following set of assumptions: a. Nominal GDP growth is 5% and outstanding nominal government debt is 1500. b. Real GDP is 20,000 and stays constant, nominal GDP is initially 30,000, inflation is 4% and the debt/GDP ratio is 1.2

The numbers are in billions of dollars. By how much did the government debt change between 2011 and 2010? (Please provide your answer in billions of dollars, i.e., if your answer is 1.57 billion dollars, then type in “1.57”; if the change is negative, type “-1.57")
