g. Suppose that taxes are not exogenous as suggested at the beginning of this task but, rather, endogenous and that they are proportional to the income earned by households according to the following expression: T = tY where 0 < t < 1 is the tax rate. In words, describe how this change would affect your IS/LM model and the equilibrium in the economy. Compute again the equilibrium output and interest rate you computed in b) but by assuming that taxes are now proportional to income and that the tax rate is 8% (t=0.08). Comment on your findings.

(a) Suppose in a simple Keynesian economy, planned consumption function is given by C=250+0.65(Y-T). Planned investment, government purchases, taxes are $100 million, $100 million and $150 million respectively. What is MPC, MPS and autonomous consumption Derive the saving function. What is the equilibrium level of income? Y= AD=C+I+G If government purchases increase to $150 million, what is the new equilibrium level of income? What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of $2000 million? From question e) you get the newly government purchase. Now find out the multiplier value What is the amount of shift in AD curve? [Use the multiplier value from e)] (b) In a self-regulating economy “X”, labor supply is 40 million but labor demand is 10 million. What will happen in goods and service market simultaneously? Explain this situation with relevant graph. Based on your findings in a) is it denoting long run equilibrium? If not, will the economy be able to restore…

For the following problem, assume that the MPC, b, takes into account how much consumers spend as total income (Y) in the economy is changes. (Also: Hint GDP = Total Y) So we can rewrite our consumption function as :C= a +bYAssume:a= $2900 billionb=.75GDP= $9,000 billion.A) What is C=B) What is S=C) If consumers were the only ones buying goods in the economy, would the economy have an excess supply of goods, excess demand of goods or would the economy be at equilibrium ?
Consider a closed economy with no government, where aggregate demand is determined by autonomous consumption, investment (which is independent of output), and the marginal propensity to consume. a) Given that autonomous consumption is 20, investment is also 20, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, write out an equation for aggregate demand (AD) in this economy. b) Given this aggregate demand equation, and the equilibrium equation Y = AD, use algebra to find the equilibrium level of Y. (2 marks) c) Draw a diagram with output (Y) on the x-axis and aggregate demand (AD) on the yaxis. Draw two lines on this diagram: (i) Y = AD, and (ii) the aggregate demand function from part (a). Label the intercept of the AD line, and the point where the two lines intersect, with numerical values. d) Suppose that the marginal propensity to consume falls from 0.6 to 0.5. What would the new equilibrium level of Y be? Illustrate your answer in the diagram you drew for part (c). e)…

Consider the Aggregate expenditure model. Where:AD = C + I + G + NX where G, and NX are all autonomous.C = C + c∗(Y + T R − T A) where T A = tY with t ∈ [0, 1] is the proportional tax rate and c∗ ∈ (0, 1) is the marginal propensity to consume. In addition, investment is given by: I = I − bi where I is autonomous investment and b > 0 determines the sensitivity ofinvestment to changes in the interest rate, i. A. Using the information above, solve for the IS function. Combine all the autonomous terms into one term, A. B.

Let's examine the role of taxes in the Solow-Swan model. Imagine that the behavior of an economy may be summarized by the following three equations: K++1 = It + (1 – 8) K. I = s (1 – T) Y Y; = K¢ (A,Lt)'-a Assume that population grows at rate n and technology at rate g, so that Lt+1/Lt = N++1/N = 1+ n and A+1/A = 1+ g, respectively. Income in this economy is taxed with rate T and the tax revenues are used for government consumption which is useless from the point of view of households. (a). Transform the three equations into per effective labor form, i.e. divide them by A, L,. Make use of notational convention = X¢/ (A¿L¿). (b). Find the balanced growth path level of capital per effective labor k* in this economy. 1 (c). Discuss the effects of changes in parameters 8, n, g, s, T on the economy's balanced growth path level of capital per effective labor k*. (d).
