Refer to Figure 24-1. Suppose the economy is currently in a short-run equilibrium with output of Yo. An appropriate fiscal policy response, to attain potential output (Y"), is an increase in corporate income taxes. a reduction in government purchases of goods and services. a decrease in personal income taxes. an increase in interest rates rencourage increased saving. a decrease in government transfer payments.

Suppose the economy reaches equilibrium GDP at $1,250,000 while potential GDP is at $1,500,000. Currently G=$180,000 while taxes are equal to 0.1Y (where Y is the same as real GDP). a. How large is the recessionary gap in this economy? b. At equilibrium GDP, is there a budget surplus or deficit? Solve for the value of this surplus or deficit. At the potential GDP, is there a surplus or deficit? Solve for the value of the full- employment surplus or deficit. d. Does there exist a cyclical surplus or deficit? Solve for its value C.
If expansionary fiscal policy is used following a supply shock such as the one experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic, the expansionary fiscal policy will result in real GDP ________ and the price level ________. decreasing; increasing increasing; decreasing increasing; increasing decreasing; decreasin
Suppose the government, in an effort to avoid an increase in the deficit, votes for a budget neutral tax cut policy. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is equal to 0.75 and taxes are cut by $15 billion. Round answers to the nearest billion, and specify decreases as a negative number. By how much will government spending change? change in government spending: $ What is the resulting change in the equilibrium level of real GDP? change in equilibrium level of real GDP: $ billion billion
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.

Assume the government decides to conduct fiscal policy by increasing government purchases to reduce the burden of this recession.

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?

Question 2In the basic Keynesian model, fiscal policy should not cause an increase in the public debt. However, in this course you have learnt that most national governments have accumulated public debt by mis-using the Keynesian model. The worst example cited is that of Greece. Explain why governments find it difficult if not impossible to use fiscal policy without accumulating debt. Explain how discretionary fiscal policy is different from automatic stabilizers. Which one is the more likely to cause the debt accumulation problem in part A? Explain why a foreign debt is worse than a domestic debt.
