Question 14 options:
It is easier for a country to grow fast and "catch up" with richer countries if it starts out relatively poor.
Saving will always "catch up" with investment spending.
If investment spending is low, increased saving will help investment to "catch up."
Rich countries aid relatively poor countries so as to help them "catch up."

- Due to an increase in consumer wealth, there is a $40 billion autonomous increase in consumer spending in the economies of Westlandia and Eastlandia. Assuming that the aggregate price level is constant, the interest rate is fixed in both countries, and there are no taxes and no foreign trade, complete the accompanying tables to show the various rounds of increased spending that will occur in both economies if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.5 in Westlandia and 0.75 in Eastlandia. What do your results indicate about the relationship between the size of the marginal propensity to consume and the multiplier?arrow_forwardIn a simple economy where there is no government and no international trade, the consumption function is given by the equation: C = £130m + 0.7Y What is the marginal propensity to save? a)0.7 b)1.0 c)0.3 d)130arrow_forwardConsider a frugal closed economy without money market.

- QUESTION 8 As a result of entering the world economy, Neverland experiences economic boom and its GDP goes up to y- 13250: The function that describes consumption is the same, cd(r) = 5000 – 1000r +0.25Y, but the investment curve shifted to the right: 1d(r) = 550 – 1800r + 0.2Y: This is because firms expect growth to continue in the future and want to invest more. Government spending is also the same: G- 180o0. The world interest rate is 5%. What is Neverland's current account balance?

- question 1 -part D and Earrow_forwardConsider a small economy that is closed to trade, so that its net exports are zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is income (real GDP), IP is planned investment, G is government purchases, and T is taxes:C = $40 billion+0.5×(Y – T) Suppose G=$115 billion, IP=$50 billion, and T=$10 billion.Given the consumption function and the fact that, in a closed economy, planned expenditure can be calculated as Y=C+IP+G , the equilibrium income level is$ billion.Suppose that government purchases are increased by $100 billion. The new equilibrium level of income will be equal to$ billion.Based on the effect of the change in government purchases on equilibrium income, you can tell that this economy's multiplier is equal to_________?arrow_forwardA reduction in the marginal propensity to import will cause A) the multiplier to increase and a given change in government spending (G) to have a larger effect on domestic output.
