Suppose that a financial crisis decreases investment spending by $100 billion and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. Assuming no taxes and no trade, by how much will real GDP change?
Which of the following best describes the catch-up effect? Question 14 options: It is easier for a country to grow fast and "catch up" with richer countries if it starts out relatively poor. Saving will always "catch up" with investment spending. If investment spending is low, increased saving will help investment to "catch up." Rich countries aid relatively poor countries so as to help them "catch up."

Question 17 In early 2000, China was the fastest emerging economy in Asia. However, in recent years, China has indicated deteriorating growth beginning of 2020. Suppose consumption function for China is C = 250 +0.6(Y-T) and taxes are T = 15+0.05Y, meanwhile investment is 250, government outlays are 400, and net - export is 300. a) What is the multiplier value for China? b) Suppose China's investment has dropped to 200, government outlays received deduction from the budget by 25% and other components are ceteris paribus. Calculate the national equilibrium new national income equilibrium. c) From the changes that happened in (b) China has reaccelerated export and import activities. This sector has contributed another $100 for net-export, meanwhile other components are ceteris paribus. Calculate national income equilibrium using multiplier approaches.
