Question 7 Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2300. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3750 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?

6. Graphical treatment of taxes and fiscal policy The main difference between variable taxes and fixed taxes is that unlike fixed taxes, variable taxes The following graph shows the consumption schedule for an economy with a given level of taxes. Suppose the government implements a tax increase through a fixed tax. Use two green points (triangle symbol) to connect the two black points (plus symbols) representing the consumption schedule after the change in taxes. Hint: The new consumption schedule must pass through one point on the left and one point on the right.

8. The income-expenditure model Consider a small economy that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is real GDP, I is investment, G is government purchases, and T stands for net taxes: C = 15+0.75 x (Y-T) Suppose G = $90 billion, 1 = $60 billion, and T = $20 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that for a closed economy total expenditure can be calculated as Y=C+I+G, the equilibrium output level is equal to 5 billion. Suppose the government purchases are increased by $50 billion. The new equilibrium level of output will be equal to Based on the effect of the change in government purchases on equilibrium output, you can tell that this economy's spending multiplier is equal to
6) Suppose the Canadian economy is represented by the following: C=100+0.8Yd T-$50 I-20+0.1Y G-200 Yd-Y-T a) What is the equilibrium level of output? (Hint: first, drive the equation for C as a function of Y, then drive the equation for Z) b) What is the multiplier?
1.) If the MPC is 0.8 and taxes increase by $100 billion, what is the effect on equilibrium RGDP? equilibrium RGDP will fall by $80 billion equilibrium RGDP will fall by $125 billion equilibrium RGDP will fall by $400 billion equilibrium RGDP will fall by $500 billion 2.) If equilibrium RGDP is $10000 billion and full employment GDP is $9000 billion, and the MPC = 0.75, what is the appropriate fiscal policy to return the economy to full employment GDP reduce taxes by $250 billion reduce taxes by $333.33 billion raise taxes by $250 billion raise taxes by $333.33 billion
- If an economy is in equilibrium when national income is $1000, and the level of autonomous expenditure is $600, what is the value of the marginal propensity to withdraw? - Imagine an economy where autonomous expenditure is $50, and the equilibrium level of national income is $125. How much would autonomous expenditure have to increase by to achieve full employment output of $150 ?
Given the following information: Consumption: 100 + 0.8 Yd Investment: 150 – 16i Govt. expenditure: 100 Taxes: 0.25Y DD for money: 0.2Y – 2i Nominal money supply: 300 Price level: 2 a) Determine equilibrium level of income and rate of interest b) If govt expenditure increases by 50, what will be the new equilibrium of income and the rate of interest? c) Is there any crowding out? If yes, what is the extent of crowding out of income?
Suppose that in the given economy the tax multiplier is equal to -4 and the government increases its purchases by AED5000 billions. If the net effect after the crowding out is 1/5 of the shifting due to the multiplier effect, estimate the extent of the crowding out, for any level of the price. Discuss and show the steps followed.
