The following information applies to questions 1-6. Suppose we have the following information for the simple (fixed r, fixed P, fixed W) Keynesian model. C = 400+ 0.8 1 = 310 G = 140 = 400+ 0.8 (Y-T) T = 200, where C is the consumption function, (Y-T) is disposable income, I is investment, G is government spending, and T is taxes.

Given the following closed economy model: C = .8Yd + 800I = 1000 G = 6000 T = .25Y + 100 Yf = 21,000 The size of the government spending multiplier (KDG) is: Round answer to one decimal place.
Consider the Aggregate expenditure model. Where:AD = C + I + G + NX (1)where I, G, and NX are all autonomous.C = C + c∗(Y + T R − T A)(2)where T A = tY with t ∈ [0, 1] is the proportional tax rate and c∗ ∈ (0, 1) is themarginal propensity to consume.a. Using the information above, solve for AD. Combineall the autonomous terms into one term, A. b. In an (x, y) plane, where Y is on the horizontal axis and AD is on thevertical axis, illustrate the AD curve you derived above along with the 450line.Make sure to explain how you got the Y-intercept and solve for the slope c. Provide an economic interpretation for the slope of the AD function. d. Solve for the equilibrium level of output and show what happens to outputwhen G increases by 1 unit. That is, what is ∆Y ? Show your result graphicallyand explain how the AD curves shifts and by how much. Briefly explain.
Using the Keynesian-cross diagram, the investment function diagram, and the IS Curve, illustrate what happens when consumer confidence falls (thus reducing autonomous consumptions. (See page 319 of the textbook.)
All of the following will increase Aggregate Demand (AD), except: Foreign income increases Families paying off debt Higher household income The Keynesian model of economics was developed in a response the events of the great depression. For the first time, this model showed that prices and wages were _______ and that ______may decline instead of prices. Flexible; interest rates Flexible; production Sticky; production
According to the Keynesian cross model if the marginal propensity to consume is 2/3, cut in taxes of 120 Billion increases equilibrium income by a) 160 Billion b) 180 Billion C) 240 Billion d) 360 Billion
Assuming that there is no government spending or trade, an economy’s GDP is the sum of domestic consumption C and investment I, i.e. Y = C+ I Assume that I is unaffected by GDP Assume the consumption function is C = c0 + c1Y In any equilibrium aggregate demand, AD must be equal to Y, GDP. Given this model, which FIVE of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: A. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the equilibrium solution for Y is given by Y = m(c0 + I), where m = 1/(1 - c1) is the multiplier. B. if c1 = 0.8 the multiplier is equal to 1/0.8= 1.25 C. if c1 = 0.75 the multiplier is equal to 4 D. assume c0 =100, I=50, c1=0.6. The equilibrium value of Y in a demand-driven economy is 300. E. Assume that Y is initially 400, I is initially 100, and the multiplier is 2.5. I increases by 10%. The multiplier implies that in equilibrium Y will increase by 25%. F. The higher is c1 the larger is the multiplier G. If consumers…

In a simple model without government spending or taxation, if C = a +bY where C is consumer spending and Y is GDP which of the following statements are correct? Note that some of these questions require you to have read relevant sections of Core Unit 13. [FOUR correct answers] Select one or more: a. The consumption function implies that if GDP is zero, consumption is zero b. b is known as the average propensity to consume c. If there is an increase in consumers who engage in "consumption smoothing", this will cause an increase in a and a decrease in b d. a is known as the marginal propensity to consume e. b is known as the marginal propensity to consume f. a is the level of consumption when Y is zero g. If consumption-smoothing consumers become more optimistic about the future, a will increase. h. If there are more credit-constrained consumers in the economy, this will cause the marginal propensity to consume, to fall
QUESTION 5Imagine the following simple Keynesian macroeconomic model for a closed economy.TD = C + Ip + G (total demand)C = C0 + YD (aggregate household consumption)YD = Y − T (aggregate household disposable income)Ip = I0 + aY − bR (aggregate planned investment)Y = TD (output, equilibrium condition)BB = T – G (government budget balance)With:G government consumption, T taxes, R real interest rate (exogenous variables)C0) and I0 autonomous consumption and investment0 < a, c, a+c < 1, b > 0 constant parametersDerive the equation for output and answer the following question. If the government in this model simultaneously increases its consumption G and its taxes T by the same amount, then: total demand decreases, and equilibrium output declines. total demand decreases, and equilibrium output declines, but only if C > G. total demand increases, and equilibrium output rises. The rise of output is stronger the higher the households’ marginal propensity to consume. total demand…
In the 1960s the U.S entered the Vietnam War, and military expenditures (part of government expenditures) grew from an annual rate of $113 billion to 138 billion. The economy was near full-employment and, therefore, given there was no offsetting tax increase, inflation pressures emerged. Assume the MPC is .75 A) How did the increase in military expenditures affect AD? B) If in 1968 the AD Excess was $150 billion, what change in government expenditures would you have recommended?
Consider a standard Keynesian model but with two types of consumers, Type A who have low marginal propensities to consume and Type B who have high marginal propensities to consume. An economy with relatively more Type A consumers is more vulnerable to a negative shock to investment demand.Answer true, false, or uncertain. Please briefly explain your answer.
