2. Assume a given economy has an equilibrium GDP of $360 billion. A. If government spending and taxes both increase by $40 billion, determine the new equilibrium GDP. B. If both G and taxes increase by $40 billion, what impact will these two changes happening at the same time have on the budget? In other words, will these two changes cause a surplus, a deficit, or a balanced budget? C. Solve for the numerical value of the balanced budget multiplier.
10. Agreements and disagreements among economists regarding fiscalpolicy Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar of their after-tax income. The expenditure multiplier for this economy is Suppose that this economy is experiencing a recession. The government would like to stimulate aggregate demand and is deciding whether it should increase its spending by $1 billion or reduce income tax by $1 billion. Assume other things remain constant, and the marginal propensity to consume remains at 0.75. Before any multiplier effect takes place, a $1 billion increase in government spending will increase the aggregate demand by s $1 billion reduction in income tax will increase the aggregate demand by billion, while a billion. Now consider the effect of each fiscal policy after the multiplier effect is complete. A $1 billion increase in government spending will result in a total increase of aggregate demand by $ billion, whereas a $1 billion…
