Question 2 Suppose that the government has the following nominal budget constraint. G = T+AB+ AMS The above equation means that government spending (G) is financed by taxes (T), bond (B) changes or/and money supply (M$) changes. Suppose that the government spending is only financed by th revenue from a money supply change, which is called seigniorage gain. The real seigniorage gain, S is defined as S = AMS/P. a. Show that S = μ·f (Y, i) where the growth rate of money supply is given by µ, and Md real money demand = f(Y, i) and i=r+µ. P b. Interpret the condition, S = µ · L(Y, i), based on the statement "inflation is a tax.” = 0, respectively? Interpret the ds C. Under what conditions, ds > 0, ἀμ ds < 0, and ἀμ dμ results.

Part (b): Determine the magnitude of the simple multiplier if oil prices exogenously rise by $1. Part (c): Determine the magnitude of the simple multiplier if government spending exogenously increases by $1.
1. Suppose the economy has fallen into a recession (output level ?0), and the federal government wants to return the economy to its original level of output (?). Respond to each of the following questions using appropriate diagrams and explanations.(a) If policy makers can only use fiscal tools, what should they do?(b) If policy makers can only use monetary tools, what should they do? (c) What should they do if they want to return output to its original level but keep investment from changing?
a) Write the equation representing snapshot of budget and Indicate the status of the budget as having a surplus or deficit, or balanced at Zero and explain why? How is this budget expected to affect the GDP? Explain! (b) Use the lump-sum tax and the MPC to calculate the decrease in consumption due to this lump sum tax (show all your calculations); then use the change in consumption you just obtained to find the consumption after tax (ca-fill in the column 7 below). (c) Use the Ca to find the (after-tax) aggregate expenditures for the 4-sector private-public-open economy (AEa) and fill in the column 8; Now use the column 1 and column 8 to find the new equilibrium GDP and DI in the 4-sector model. (d) Has GDP increased in the 4-sector compared with those in the previous 3-sector equilibrium? If so, by how much? What is the effective multiplier from 3-sector to 4-sector and why? Explain. (e) Has DI changed from 3-sector to 4-sector? Why/why not? How about consumption and savings? Explain…

Fiscal policy has important effects on the level of employment, nominal GDP and on aggregate supply, known as secondary supply effects. True or false 23. An increase in government spending is an expansionary fiscal policy. True or false
please answer b), c), d)
Q.1.5 Which one of the following statements regarding fiscal policy and the budget is correct?(a) When the government plans to stimulate economic activity, it can increase spending or reduce taxes;(b) Revenue from tax is always greater than government spending in SouthAfrica;(c) Demand management only refers to fiscal policy;(d) A contractionary fiscal policy should be implemented to combatunemployment.
Consider an economy in which people spend 90 percent of each additional dollar of income they earn. If the government does easy (expansionary) fiscal policy via changing taxes by $2000, what will be the total effect on Y? Carefully follow all numeric instructions. Use a positive number (no sign) to show an increase in Y and a negative number (with negative sign) to show a decrease.
4. Deficits in new classical economics Felix lives in the fictional country of Lindelof, which raises government revenue by taxing everyone the same amount. The government of Lindelof has just implemented a tax cut that reduces annual taxes by $3,500 per person. However, government spending has not changed, nor is it likely change in the future. The tax cut has raised Felix's income by $3,500. If Felix acts according to the prediction of new classical economics (and doesn't plan to leave Lindelof), his consumption is likely to increase by Suppose that instead of cutting taxes while keeping its spending the same, the government did the opposite: it increased its spending by $3,500 per person while keeping taxes the same. If everyone in Lindelof acted like Felix, the likely increase in aggregate demand would be per person.
