Consider a fictional economy that is operating at its long-run equilibrium. The following graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) curve and short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve for the economy. The long-run aggregate supply curve is represented by a vertical line at the potential GDP level of $6 trillion. The economy is initially producing at potential GDP. Suppose that fiscal authorities decide to decrease marginal tax rates. Assume that this change in marginal tax rates is perceived as a long-term change. Shift the appropriate curves to illustrate the supply-side view of the fiscal policy effect on output and the price level. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position.

Suppose that the government engages in expansionary fiscal policy by increasing government spending. Show the initial impact by properly shifting the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), or the long-run aggregate supply curve on the graph below. Aggregate price level (P) LRAS SRAS * AD Aggregate output (Q)
Q2: Suppose in a country called Keyneslanding. The current economic condition in the country is given by the following: Consumption function: C = 100 + 0.75Yd where Yd = Y - T (Yd is disposable income) Government spending G: G = 100 Net Taxes T:T=100 Output Y : Y = 900 (a) You are the economic adviser of Keyneslanding, the president calls you into her office and says to you "Half of our congress members want to increase tax by $200 and half of our congress members want to increase government spending by $200. I want to make these congress members happy. If I implement a tax increase by $200 while at the same time increase government spending by $200. Does it really affect the economy?" Please explain in detail to the president how would this policy affect the economy.
The policies of the federal government influence the outcomes of the various activities in that economy. When government policies change or unplanned events occur, the resulting economic events or activity will usually change. Listed below is a policy or event that affect the performance of the economy: The level of investment decreases because of a lack of confidence in the economy. for the question above, describe what would be the likely outcome in the economy. Use the appropriate tools of analysis, such as aggregate demand and aggregate supply where appropriate, to justify and explain your answer.
• Assuming that there is no government spending or trade, an economy's GDP is the sum of domestic consumption C and investment I, ie. Y = C+ I • Assume that I is unaffected by GDP • Assume the consumption function is C = co + cY • In any equilibrium aggregate demand, AD must be equal to Y, GDP. Given this model, which of the following statements is correct? This question is worth 2 marks! Select one or more: a. The aggregate demand equation is given by AD = co + CY + I b. c, is equal to autonomous consumption c. if c, is a number between 0 and 1, and I+co >0 then the aggregate demand equation is a straight line that must intersect the 45 degree line at some point. d. In a demand-driven economy the AD curve is a vertical line e. In a demand-driven economy demand is equal to supply in equilibrium f. In a supply-driven economy demand is equal to supply in equilibrium g. In a demand-driven economy, supply creates its own demand h. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the…
We know the following about a closed economy: • Taxes: T = 20 . Government spending: G = 20 • Consumption: C = 10 + 0.6(Y - T) where Y denotes the GDP. We also know that investment is constant but we ignore its value. One day, the government initiates a Keynesian stimulus to support the economy. It increases spending to 40. To avoid a big increase in public debt, it also increases taxes to 30. What is the variation of GDP? Select one: a. It increases by 30 b. It increases by 35. c. It increases by 40 d. It increases by 50
Q.1.7 In the Keynesian macroeconomic model, the equation for the savings function is given as: S = -420 + 1/4Y. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? (1) The marginal propensity to consume is 1/4; (2) The marginal propensity to save is -420;
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that a long strike by coal miners reduces the coal supply and increases the price of coal. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose our government wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the government intervene? If so, show the impact of successful fiscal policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
On the following graph, AD1 represents the initial aggregate demand curve in a hypothetical economy, and AS represents the initial aggregate supply curve. The economy's full-employment output is $12 trillion. On the following graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to mark the equilibrium.

Consider the following income/expenditure diagram in the simple Keynesian model. If taxes, T, were increased, then Group of answer choices A) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the right, and equilibrium Y would increase. B) the C+I+G line would shift downward, and equilibrium Y would decrease. C) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the left, and equilibrium Y would decrease. D) neither of the lines would shift, and equilibrium Y would stay the same. E) the C+I+G line would shift upward, and equilibrium Y would increase.
The levels of real disposable income and aggregate expenditures for an economy are given in the following table. -- Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the expenditures line for this economy on the following graph.

In an effort to increase output in the short run due to the poor economy, government officials have decided to cut taxes. They are considering two possible temporary tax cuts of equal size in terms of lost revenue. The first would reduce the taxes on people with incomes above $100,000 per year. The second would cut taxes on people with incomes below $60,000 for one year. Which change would have a greater impact on aggregate spending (i.e shift the aggregate demand curve further to the right)? Why?
