60 Suppose the government, in an effort to avoid an increase in the deficit, votes for a budget neutral tax cut policy. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is equal to 0.85 and taxes are cut by $8 billion. Round answers to the nearest billion, and specify decreases as a negative number. By how much will government spending change? change in government spending: $ What is the resulting change in the equilibrium level of real GDP? change in equilibrium level of real GDP: $ billion
The program has provoked a lot of political discussions. Which of the following statementsare correct (assuming a closed economy)? 1. The higher the marginal propensity to consume, the lower will be investment multiplier.2. A reduction of the tax rate lowers the fiscal policy multiplier.3. The higher the marginal propensity to consume, the more consumption can be induced bymore government spending, and this will lead to a higher fiscal policy multiplier.4. When fiscal policy is not able to compensate fully for other demand reductions, anexpansionary monetary policy can be helpful to overcome a recession more quickly.5. An expansionary monetary policy by the ECB in combination with a fiscal expansion willalways lead to inflation.6. Only a consequent fiscal consolidation will help the economy out of a recession.7. In the liquidity trap there is no crowding-out effect to be expected.8. It is best to conduct fiscal consolidation when the economy is in a boom.
Expansionary fiscal policy include Select one: O a. an increase in net taxes O b. an increase in government spending O c. a decrease in government spending

07. What factors make an expansionary "stimulus" fiscal policy effective? One answer a) A government budget deficit associated with fiscal stimulus should should borrow money from those who spend less and save more, to those who spend more and save less. b) A permanent decrease in taxes is more effective in stimulating spending than a temporary one c) An increase in government purchases of goods and services should be temporary and should not permanently displace private spending d) The most expansionary way of financing the budget deficit associated with a fiscal stimulus policy is by the central bank expanding the quantity of money in circulation. e) Infrastructure investment belongs with long-term growth policy, but invariably makes a poor element in stimulus policy because such investment normally take a long time to implement. f) All the above
