According to Keynes’ Law... A) The total demand for products determine the level of gross domestic product and may not equal the supply capacity of the economy in the short run. B) The total demand always equals the total supply capacity in the short run. C) The total demand tends to rise above the total supply capacity in the short run which leads to recessions D) The total supply of products determines the level of gross domestic product and the level of demand in the economy in the long run.
Price Level 0 Q₁ AS AD2 AD₁ Q2 Q3 Real Domestic Output Refer to the above graph. If Preferred Aggregate Equilibrium is achieved at Q2, then aggregate demand is AD1. the equilibrium price and quantity is P1Q3 producers will supply output level Q3. the equilibrium price level is P2.
In an effort to increase output in the short run due to the poor economy, government officials have decided to cut taxes. They are considering two possible temporary tax cuts of equal size in terms of lost revenue. The first would reduce the taxes on people with incomes above $100,000 per year. The second would cut taxes on people with incomes below $60,000 for one year. Which change would have a greater impact on aggregate spending (i.e shift the aggregate demand curve further to the right)? Why?
Assume that the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is 0.8. If the multiplier effect is taken into account, the reduction in government expenditure by $ 200 million will shift the overall demand process to the correct order below. A) right, $1,000 million B) left, $ 200 million C) left, $160 million D) left, $1,000 million E) right, $ 160 million
I'm a newbie so please if you could go step by step. thanks in advance.
In the Keynesian cross model, assume that the consumption function is given by C = 20 + 0.8(Y- T). Planned investment is 200; government purchases and taxes are both 400. There is no foreign trade. An economist has claimed that the full employment level of output is 2,400. How much should the government expenditure or taxes rise or fall to achieve full employment?
Which characteristics are associated with the Keynesian theory? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Flexible prices Long-run view Long-run aggregate supply primarily affects economic growth (real GDP) Short run view Aggregate demand primarily affects economic growth (real GDP) Inflexible prices
The term potential output refers to: a)The maximum possible output for an economy b)The quantity of output that would be produced if every member of the labor force worked 40 hours per week c)The quantity of output produced when the price level is the same as firms and workers expected when they agreed on input prices and wages d)The quantity of output produced at the intersection of the AD and AS curves
The outbreak of COVID-19 adversely attacks most economies. Some economists argue that the impacts on the macroeconomy mainly come from (i) the reduction in consumption and investment appetite, while others believe that the impacts mainly come from (ii) the immediate destruction of the supply-chain and production. Suppose two quarters since the outbreak of the COVID-19, changes in selected macroeconomic data of Country X can be summarized as below: Last Year This Year Annualized economic growth rate 4% -6% Unemployment rate 5% 8% Inflation rate 2% 5% Assume that argument (ii) is true, briefly discuss one plausible short-run dilemma facing the central bank of Country X.
Which of the following policies will shift the IS curve to the right a) An increase in the equilibrium level of income y* b) the central bank buys public debt c) an increase in government spending d) All of the choice are correct
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)…
An economy is in equilibrium at a real GDP of 750, but current estimates put potential output at Yp = 700. a) Answer the following fill-in the blank question. When Y = 750 and Yp = 700 there is a (Select One) gap and the size of the gap is equal to 0 (Select One) inflationary b) Answer the following fill-in the blank recessionary Note: Keep as much precision as possible design calculations. Your final answer should be accurate to at least three decimal places. Research suggests that the MPC is 0.8, the MPM is 0.15, and the net tax rate is 0.2. Therefore, the slope of AE is Oand the multiplier is 0 which means that G must be decreased by 0 to remove the gap and achieve equilibrium. c) If the government preferred to change its net tax rate to eliminate the gap, and not change government expenditure, what new tax rate would be required to eliminate the gap? Note: Keep as much precision as possible during your calculations. Your final answer should be accurate to at least three decimal…
