Consider a scenario of a closed economy in the short run where price level is fixed. Assume that both taxes and money supply increase in a way that keep output constant in equilibrium (suppose that the marginal propensity to consume is less than one). Which of the following may result from the policy change? a) It will lead to an increase in investment but a decrease in consumption. b) It will result in an increase in investment but a decrease in government spending. c) It will lead to an increase in investment and private saving. d) It will decrease investment but increase in public saving.

Pundits have stated that the recent tax cut mainly benefits companies. The benefit to companies can also spillover to consumers in several ways.

Should the government use monetary and fiscal policy in an effort to stabilize the economy? The following questions address the issue of how monetary and fiscal policies affect the economy, as well as the pros and cons of using these tools to combat economic fluctuations. The following graph plots hypothetical aggregate demand (AD), short-run aggregate supply (AS), and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves for the U.S. economy in February 2026. Suppose the government chooses to intervene in order to return the economy to the natural level of output by using Depending on which curve is affected by the government policy, shift either the AS curve or the AD curve to reflect the change that would successfully restore the natural level of output.

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 numbers in parentheses after the AD₁, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending associated with each curve. All figures are in billions. If the MPC for the economy described by the figures is 0.8. an increase in the money supply from $80 to $100 will shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $50 billion at each price level. an increase in the money supply from $80 to $100 will shift the aggregate demand curve leftward by $40 billion at each price level.
As part of its expansionary fiscal measures, the government of South Africa through its finance minister has increased its budget expenditure to over R2.2 trillion for 2023 fiscal year. Assume all other things remain the same, which of the following is likely to happen in the short run? a) Consumption and investment increase in the short run. b) Consumption does not change, but investment increases less than government spending c) Consumption increases but investment decreases in the short run. d) Output increases by the amount that government spending increases.
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 assume the simple Keynesian multiplier model in this problem. The economy is characterized by the following behavioral equations: C=180 +0.70Y /= 170 G= 100 T = 130 Value of the Keynesian multiplier = ☐ Equilibrium GDP (Y) = (Round your response to two decimal places.) Disposable income (Yo)=(Round your response to two decimal places.) Consumption spending (C) = (Round your response to two decimal places.)
The following values represent country A C=$160, S=$40, T=$0, Y=$200 and I=$30, T=0 and G=0 The households consume 80 percent of their income, and save 20 %. MPC = 0.8 and MPS = 0.2. That is, C = 0.8Yd and S = 0.2Yd. a) Is the economy of country A in equilibrium? What is the equilibrium level of income? b) If the full employment level of Y is supposed to be $250, what fiscal policy should the government follow?
