A recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research examined what people did with the $1,200 per-person stimulus payments distributed the US in April 2020. On average people said they spent about 40 percent of the total dollar amount they received, with the remaining 60 percent of the money split roughly equally between saving and paying down debt. Suppose that stimulus payments totaled $US 100 billion. a. If the tax rate is equal to 0.30 and the marginal propensity to import 0.10, what is the short run effect of the stimulus program on GDP? b. How might the long-run effect of the stimulus policy differ from the short-run effect? c. Inflation in the US in 2020 was about 0.62 %. Some people fear that inflation will increase in 2021 and ahead. Give one argument that supports this fear. and one argument against.

Consider an economy in which the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8 and GDP is currently at 12,000. a) The government wishes to increase GDP to 13,000, and it is considering changing only one of its fiscal tools: 1. government purchases 2. taxes 3. transfer payments How much would the government have to change each of these fiscal policy tools to achieve its goal? (Use the simple spending multiplier for this part and below.) b) Suppose instead that the government wishes to reduce GDP to 10,000, and again, it is considering using only one of its three available fiscal policy tools. How much would it change each of these fiscal tools to achieve its goal?

This is part of the government's "mission statement" as given in the Constitution. c. Fiscal policy is profitable for banks. d. People do not trust the theory behind the model.
