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 order to financially stimulate the nation, the Federal government injected $900 billion dollars into the economy. However, the results were less than spectacular. One reason could have been a failure to understand the marginal propensity to consume. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) was only 0.4. How much of that $900 billion went to increased consumption? Where did the rest of the money go? Increased consumption: Where did the rest go? Using MPC = 0.4, what is the spending multiplier (the actual numerical value please): What was the overall change in income as a result of the stimulus package after the multiplier completely works its way through the economy?
Compare and contrast the use of government spending changes versus tax changes as a means of influencing the course of the economy. Is one or the other preferable in specific situations? What are the short-run and long-run implications? What solutions do you recommend? (Think beyond the scope of the video and keep it to economical thought.) What would a Neoclassical economist say about your solutions? What would a Keynesian economist say about your solutions? Apply economic theories and models to support your response
10 In the context of the Keynesian model, which of the following statements is incorrect? Group of answer choices: An increase in the marginal propensity to consume results in a steeper planned aggregate expenditure line An exogenous payment from the government to households results in an unplanned increase in inventories An exogenous collection of taxes from the government results in an unplanned increase in inventories None of the other options
Question 23 Consider two standard Keynesian models. In Model 1, there are two types of consumers, Type A, who have low marginal propensities to consume, and Type B, who have high marginal propensities to consume. In Model 2, there are only Type B consumers. Then, an increase in the exogenous government purchases would lead to higher output in Model 1 than in Model 2. Answer True or False. Remember to include your explanation.
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?
What is the best approach to managing the economy, supply-side or demand-side economics? There are two schools of thought on how to managing the economy. The first is demand-side economics which also the Keynesian approach. This approach maintains that the demand for products and services drives the economy as such economic policies should focus on the aggregate demand curve. The other approach is called supply-side economics or more popularly referred to as Reaganomics. In this trickle-down approach, it is postulated that the production of goods and services is what drives the economy with the focus on the aggregate supply curve. Both fiscal and monetary policies have the potential to stimulate change in either the aggregated demand or the aggregate supply curves. In your initial post defend which approach should be used to (ensure to include in your subject line, which approach you are defending): Restore the economy that is in a recession. Identify the challenges that may be…

Consider the following income/expenditure diagram in the simple Keynesian model. If taxes, T, were increased, then Group of answer choices A) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the right, and equilibrium Y would increase. B) the C+I+G line would shift downward, and equilibrium Y would decrease. C) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the left, and equilibrium Y would decrease. D) neither of the lines would shift, and equilibrium Y would stay the same. E) the C+I+G line would shift upward, and equilibrium Y would increase.

In the Keynesian model, if the economy is experiencing a recessionary gap of $825 billion and the marginal propensity to save is .20, which one of the following combinations of spending and taxing changes should the government implement in order to eliminate the gap? 1. Increase government spending by $350 billion and decrease taxes by $350 billion. 2. Decrease government spending by $125 billion and increase taxes by $50 billion. 3. Decrease government spending by $250 billion and increase taxes by $150 billion. 4. Increase government spending by $600 billion and decrease taxes by $225 billion. 5. Increase government spending by $100 billion and decrease taxes by $100 billion. 6. Increase government spending by $125 billion and decrease taxes by $50 billion.
10 . In the “complete Keynesian model”, the investment functions was I = I0 - f(i). An analyst now proposes the following investment function: I = I0 - f(i) + qY, where “q” is a parameter and Y is national income = GDP. Provide two different arguments, i.e. explanations as to why this investment function makes sense. The focus is on the new term, qY (q times Y), in the function.
