The following graph plots an aggregate demand curve. Using the graph, shift the aggregate demand curve to depict the impact that a tax hike has on the economy. Suppose the governments of two very similar economies, economy Y and economy Z, implement a tax cut of equal size. The tax cut in economy Y is temporary, while the tax cut in economy Z is permanent. The economies are otherwise completely identical. The tax cut will have a smaller impact on aggregate demand in the economy with the (temporary tax cut/permanent tax cut) .
Use the following graph to answer the next question. Price Level AS AD3 AD₂ AD₁ ADO IX Q₁ Real GDP In the diagram, Qf is the full-employment output. If the economy's current aggregate demand curve is AD₁, it would be appropriate for the government to_ reduce government purchases and taxes by equal-size amounts. reduce government purchases or increase taxes. increase government purchases or reduce taxes. reduce unemployment compensation benefits.
Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand show the relationship between economic output (GDP) and price levels in the macro-economy at a given point in time. Define the terms ‘Aggregate Demand’ and ‘Aggregate Supply.’ State TWO (2) monetary and TWO (2) fiscal policies that government can adopt, to effect change in Aggregate Demand.
How can a reduction in Corporation Tax lead to supply side improvements in an economy?
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $40 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T). Increase spending by $ billion. Increase taxes by $ billion.
Indicate how each policy in the following table would change either the aggregate demand curve or the aggregate supply curve. Policy Expansionary fiscal policy Contractionary fiscal policy Change in Aggregate Demand or Change in Aggregate Supply Demand-pull inflation Cost-push inflation
Exhibit 24-1 shows the short run and long run equilibrium in an aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. If the economy is initially at point G which of the following changes will most likely be observed when a contractionary fiscal policy is adopted? a) The SRAS curve will shift to the left b) Real GDP will increase above Y2 c)The aggregate demand curve will shift from AD** to AD d)The LRAS curve will shift to the right
Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.8 and taxes do not vary with income (that is, taxes are fixed rather than variable and the income tax rate = 0). The following graph shows the aggregate demand curves (AD and AD₂), the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve, and the long-run aggregate supply curve at the potential GDP level. The economy is currently at point A.

Using the Aggregate Supply -Aggregate Demand model describe both the short run and the long run effects of a reduction in corporation tax for an economy currently producing at their potential GDP level.
From the perspective of someone using aggregate-demand and aggregate supplyanalysis, what is the impact of a tax cut when the economy is operating above fullemployment. Is this a wise policy? Why or why not?
The graph below depicts an economy where a decline in aggregate demand has caused a recession. Assume the government decides to conduct fiscal policy by increasing government purchases to reduce the burden of this recession.

How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? $ billion b. If the MPC is 0.6, how much does government purchases need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? EA billion Suppose instead that the MPC is 0.75. c. How much does aggregate demand and government purchases need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? Aggregate demand needs to change by $ billion and government purchases need to change by $ billion.
The following graph plots an aggregate demand curve. Using the graph, shift the aggregate demand curve to depict the impact that a tax hike has on the economy. Suppose the governments of two very similar economies, economy N and economy M, implement a tax cut of equal size. The tax cut in economy N is permanent, while the tax cut in economy M is temporary. The economies are otherwise completely identical. The tax cut will have a larger impact on aggregate demand in the economy with the (temporary tax cut/permanent tax cut) .
