Question
Consider that the macroeconomy is hit by aftershocks. Exports decrease by $40 billion and imports increase by $200 billion. Modify your macroeconomic model to reflect both these aftershocks
1. At GDP of 7400: 1. Inventories are in surplus by 80 2. Inventories are in shortage by 80 3. Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to the Keynesians 4. Inventories are in surplus by 240
2. At GDP of 8200: Inventories are in surplus by 320, Inventories are in shortage by 320, Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to the Keynesians, or Inventories are both in surplus and shortage by 240
3. At GDP of 5000: Inventories are in surplus by 80, Inventories are in shortage by 80, Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to the Keynesians, or Inventories are in surplus by 240
4. At GDP of 5800, exports are:
5. At GDP of 9000, imports are:
6. At the new equilibrium GDP, the economy is in:
7. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for your macroeconomic model is: 0.1, 0.4, 0.9, or 0.8
8. The multiplier for your macroeconomic model is: 10 , 5, 0.9, or 0.8
9. The goal of fiscal policy would be to increase equilibrium GDP by: $4,000 billion $3,200 billion $10,000 billion $1,000 billion
10. To achieve the goal of fiscal policy in your model, Government purchases of goods and services (G) would have to be increased by: $4,000 billion $3,200 billion $10 billion $320 billion
11. A cost-benefit analysis of the use of fiscal policy in your macroeconomic model ceteris paribus would lead to the conclusion that the policy should be undertaken since the costs are $ ___ while the benefits are $ ___ Group of answer choices $4,000 billion; $300 billion, $3,200 billion; $0 billion, $10 billion; $5000 billion, $320 billion; $3,200 billion

- The total expenditure in Macroland begins with these initial levels (in trillions of dollars): autonomous consumption=1, Investment = 2; Net Exports = 0, T=2, and MPC = 0.75. Assume that equilibrium has been achieved. Suddenly there is an external shock and as a result investment goes down to 1. What is the change in GDP? Use the base model to answer this question. Equilibrium GDP goes down by 1 Equilibrium GDP goes up by 1 Equilibrium GDP goes up by 4 Equilibrium GDP goes down by 4arrow_forwardRight click on image and click on open image in new tab to see the full and clear image. Consider two closed economies that are identical except for their marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Each economy is currently in equilibrium with real GDP and total expenditure equal to $100 billion, as shown by the black points on the following two graphs. Neither economy has taxes that change with income. The grey lines show the 45-degree line on each graph. The first economy's MPC is 0.5. Therefore, its initial total expenditure line has a slope of 0.5 and passes through the point (100, 100). The second economy's MPC is 0.75. Therefore, its initial total expenditure line has a slope of 0.75 and passes through the point (100, 100). Now, suppose there is a decrease of $20 billion in investment in each economy. Place a green line (triangle symbol) on each of the previous graphs to indicate the new total expenditure line for each economy. Then place a black point (plus symbol) on each graph…arrow_forwardWhich of the following states is equivalent to saying that we are in a short-run equilibrium? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a There is no unplanned changes in inventories. b Investment (I) is equal to Planned Investment Spending (Ip). Income is equal to aggregate expenditures. d All of the above.arrow_forward
- Consider the following income/expenditure diagram in the simple Keynesian model. If taxes, T, were increased, then Group of answer choices A) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the right, and equilibrium Y would increase. B) the C+I+G line would shift downward, and equilibrium Y would decrease. C) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the left, and equilibrium Y would decrease. D) neither of the lines would shift, and equilibrium Y would stay the same. E) the C+I+G line would shift upward, and equilibrium Y would increase.arrow_forwardAccording to Keynes’ Law... A) The total demand for products determine the level of gross domestic product and may not equal the supply capacity of the economy in the short run. B) The total demand always equals the total supply capacity in the short run. C) The total demand tends to rise above the total supply capacity in the short run which leads to recessions D) The total supply of products determines the level of gross domestic product and the level of demand in the economy in the long run.arrow_forwardThe accompanying graph represents the Keynesian cross for a country, where the planned aggregate spending line (Planned AE) is graphed against a 45° line.

- The chart below gives the data necessary to make a Keynesian cross diagram. Assume that the tax rate is 0.4 of national income, the MPC out of after-tax income is 0.9, investment is 58, government spending is 60, exports are 40, and imports are 0.1 of after-tax income. Alt Text: This chart contains the following columns: National Income, After-tax income, Consumption, I+G+X, Minus Imports, and Aggregate Expenditures. The National Income Column contains the following values for each of the following rows: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600. The only other value provided is the consumption, 104, for national income, 100. What does consumption equal when income equals 600?
