- The marginal propensity to expend is 0.5 and there is a recessionary gap of $200. What fiscal policy would you recommend? (Assume mpe = mpc) 0000 Expansionary fiscal policy; increase government expenditures by $100, or cut taxes by $200. Contractionary fiscal policy; decrease government expenditures by $200, or cut taxes by $100. Contractionary fiscal policy; decrease government expenditures by $100, or cut taxes by $200. Expansionary fiscal policy; increase government expenditures by $200, or cut taxes by $100.arrow_forwardDraw an AS-AD model of an economy dealing with an inflationary gap.

- Suppose actual real GDP is $13.37 trillion, potential real GDP is $12.33 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.62. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its spending to fix the gap? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)arrow_forwardPresident Biden is proposing an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%. Although the corporate tax rate will be higher than it is currently, it is still lower than the corporate tax rate of 35% that had been in place since President Clinton. How will this tax increase affect aggregate expenditures, equilibrium GDP and employment? Part of the reason for this proposal is to offset the increased spending from the last three stimulus packages/checks which increased Federal government's debt. Do you agree with the proposed increase in corporate tax rates? Why or why not? What are some of the costs and benefits of the proposed tax changes? Is this the right time to increase taxes? Why or why not?arrow_forwardOn the following graph, AD1 represents the initial aggregate demand curve in a hypothetical economy, and AS represents the initial aggregate supply curve.
