Tax hikes harm economic recovery slowing growth, reducing GDP by more than the tax revenue gained, while increasing unemployment and the need for more government spending, and thus are self-defeating. Tax hikes shift aggregate demand and aggregate supply left, but spending reforms do not. 4. All of the answers are correct.arrow_forward

The unemployed propose that unemployment insurance be paid to each of them at a level equal to half the wage (or $1 per year), and that this be financed by government borrowing to cover the deficit created by this spending. (To keep things simple, we assume that workers are either employed all year or unemployed all year and that government borrowing does not raise interest rates and crowd out private investment.) Using the data from the situation described as the unemployment equilibrium above (investment = $100; employment = 100), the aggregate supply is unchanged, but what happens to aggregate demand, which is now increased by the unemployed spending their unemployment insurance checks (they, like the workers, do not save; they consume all their income)? What will aggregate demand be? $_____________________ Will aggregate demand equal aggregate supply?…arrow_forward
