Suppose that real GDP for an economy is currently 16,000 billion, the government
purchases multiplier is 2.2 and the tax multiplier is -1.2.
If the government deploys additional spending of 600 billion and cuts taxes by 120
billion, where will GDP end up (in billion)?
A. If your MPC = 0.6 and government spending (G) increases by $800.
What will happen to the equilibrium income?
The Effect of Taxation:
Tax Multiplier = -MPC X Spending Multiplier
Problems:
