Consider a 4-sector Keynesian model like that discussed in class with the following characteristics: exogenous consumption=2000, exogenous taxation=100, government spending=1000, exports=400, planned investment=400. The marginal propensity to save=20%, the marginal tax rate=20% and the marginal propensity to import=40%. The potential output for this economy is 6000. Note that import demand depends on disposable income. a) At its short run equilibrium, this economy is experiencing __________ (a contractionary/an expansionary) gap of __________ (round to 2 decimal places) b) Following the outbreak of a pandemic in the above economy, exogenous consumption falls to 1000 and the marginal propensity to save increases to 40%. In order for this economy to experience a zero output gap, government spending must ____________ (increase/decrease) by ____________ . Assume all other quantities remain unchanged
