Consider the diagram below which measures the budget balance, BB (i.e. taxes minus government expenditure) on the vertical axis and the level of income in the economy, Y, on the horizontal axis. BB 0 BB BB¹ Assuming the normal level of income is Y* and that the current fiscal policy is represented by the dashed line (BB¹) and the current level of income is Y¹, then the diagram suggests that O the segment B - C is a measure of the current structural budget balance. the segment Y* - B is a measure of the current cyclical budget balance O the segment A - C is an indicator of the current cyclical budget balance the segment A - Y¹ indicates a surplus budget and thus that there is currently a restrictive or contractionary fiscal stance

a) What are the three fiscal policy tools and how would each be used to counter a contractionary gap? b) True or False and explain: Fiscal Policy is effective at reducing the duration of an economic contraction. c) True or False and explain: Households always react to tax changes in a predictable manner.
Read the following premise carefully and answer the questions specifically and in detail. "In the face of unstable economic growth due to a recession or accelerated inflation, the potential problems of high public debt include increased income inequality, reduced economic incentives, and crowding out private investment." A. Express in detail the effects of expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy on income and the price level. B. Using the premise presented as a basis, argue about the intervention of fiscal policy as an instrument to promote the growth, sustainability and economic stability of a country. (Gives an example in detail.)
Price Level aa- 0 X AS AD₂ AD₁ Z Price Level X AS AD₂ AD' AD₁ YZ Real GDP (Billions) Graph A Real GDP (Billions) Graph B Refer to the diagrams. Suppose that government undertakes fiscal policy designed to increase aggregate demand from AD₁ to AD2 and thereby to increase GDP from X to Z. In terms of graph B, which of the following might explain why GDP increases to Y rather than to Z? decrease in the saving schedule crowding-out effect reduction in tariffs imposed by our trading partners depreciation of the dollar
Suppose that the government wants to conduct expansionary fiscal policy. Show graphically the relative differences in the amount of Investment that is crowded out if the economy is: Closed, Small Open, and Large Open. From this which would we expect to have the largest fiscal multiplier?
The government budget constant for an economy is given below: G + TRị + rDt-1-7; = D¿ – Di-1 where G = government spending, TR is transfer payments, rD;-1 is interest payments on public debt, T is tax revenue and D is the stock of public debt. According to the government budget constraint in what way (or ways) can government expenditures be funded? O a. by a combination of tax revenue and borrowing from the public O b. by printing money O c. by tax revenue O d. by borrowing from the public O e. by borrowing from the central bank
please answer the following question: 1. As the economy declines into recession, the collection of personal income tax revenuesautomatically falls. This relationship best describes how the progressive income tax system:A. serves as a discretionary fiscal policyB. have no effect in the economyC. will help discourage spendingD. converts a recession into a depressionE. serves as an automatic stabilizer for the economy
