Suppose the government enacts a stimulus program composed of $400 billion of new government spending and $100 billion of tax cuts for an economy currently producing a GDP of $15,000 billion. If all of the new spending occurs in the current year and the government expenditure multiplier is 1.6, the expenditure portion of the stimulus package will addO percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the government taxation multiplier is 1.2, the tax cut portion of the stimulus package will add percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (Round your response to two decimal places.) As a result of the stimulus program, the economy's GDP was increased by percentage points over its value without the program. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the economy's actual growth was - 5 percent, then without the stimulus package, growth would have been percentage points. (Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign if necessary.)

60 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 0.85 and taxes are cut by $8 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
Suppose that real GDP is currently $19.3 trillion, potential GDP is $23.0 trillion, the government purchases multiplier is 1.6, and the tax multiplier is -1.6. Holding other factors (such as prices and interest rates) constant, how will taxes (T) need to change to bring the economy to equilibrium at potential GDP? Provide your answer in dollars measured in trillions rounded to two decimal places. Use a negative sign for negative changes. Do not include any symbols, such as "S," "," "%," or "," in your answer. Your Answer: Answer
Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that a long strike by coal miners reduces the coal supply and increases the price of coal. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose our government wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the government intervene? If so, show the impact of successful fiscal policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
Suppose the government enacts a stimulus program composed of $500 billion of new government spending and $300 billion of tax cuts for an economy currently producing a GDP of $15 billion. If all of the new spending occurs in the current year and the government expenditure multiplier is 1.6t he expenditure portion of the stimulus package will add nothing percentage points of extra growth to the economy.

In 2016, the policy makers of the of Eastlandia projected the debt-GDP ratio and the ratio of the budget deficit to GDP for the economy for the next 10 years under different scenario for growth in the government´s deficit. Real GDP is currently $1,000 billion per year and is expected to grow by 3% per year, the public debt is $300 billion at the beginning of the year, and the deficit is $30 billion in 2016.Complete the accompanying table to show the debt-GDP ratio and the ratio of the budget deficit to GDP for the economy if the government´s budget deficit remains constant at $30 billion over the next 10 years. (Remember that the government´s debt will grow by the previous year´s deficit.)
Contractionary Fiscal Policy has both positive and negative effects on a nation's economy given that the policies can move an economy out of recession but it can also cause crowding out. Explain why this statement is true and add whether or not you would support a balanced budget amendment
President Biden is proposing an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%. Although the corporate tax rate will be higher than it is currently, it is still lower than the corporate tax rate of 35% that had been in place since President Clinton. How will this tax increase affect aggregate expenditures, equilibrium GDP and employment? Part of the reason for this proposal is to offset the increased spending from the last three stimulus packages/checks which increased Federal government's debt. Do you agree with the proposed increase in corporate tax rates? Why or why not? What are some of the costs and benefits of the proposed tax changes? Is this the right time to increase taxes? Why or why not?
Suppose that the economy is experiencing a recession with an estimated recessionary gap of $15 billion. Congress is considering the use of fiscal policy to ease the recession, but due to current political sentiments, it has determined that the maximum spending increase the government is willing to support is $2 billion. It wants to make up the remainder of the recessionary gap using tax cuts. If a spending increase of $2 billion is approved and the MPC is 0.8, by how much will taxes need to be reduced to close the remainder of the recessionary gap? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. 5 billion
Specify whether expansionary or contractionary fiscal policy would seem to be most appropriate in response to each of the situations below and sketch a diagram using aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves to illustrate your answer: a. A recession. b. A stock market collapse that hurts consumer and business confidence. c. Extremely rapid growth of exports. d. Rising inflation. e. A rise in the natural rate of unemployment. f. A rise in oil price

How large is the structural budget deficit? b) Is Averna's current fiscal policy expansionary or contractionary? How can you tell? What would you expect to happen to GDP over the long run?
Consider an economy with the following situation: C = 50 +0.8 Yd I=100;T= 100 G =150 a. To eliminate the gap, the government decides to change its expenditure G. By how much should G change? Show that income AE or Ye is now 900 after the change in G. b. If the government decides to adopt balanced budget spending, by how much G and T will change to reach full employment output or income?
