9. Ch.16: Graph the Laffer Curve. Suppose a nation collects taxes as a percent of income. The point on the graph below indicates the current tax rate on the horizontal axis, which runs from 0% on the left to 100% on the right. The vertical axis gives the government's tax revenue. Draw the nation's Laffer curve. i. ii. Suppose we are at the dot shown on the graph. Could we increase the tax rate and generate additional government revenue Tax revenue Rmax Tax rate (percent of income)

Imagine that a group of advisors to the president has suggested providing a tax cut for the middle class in order to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment. The president has asked for your analysis of this proposed tax cut. Post your thoughts both as an economic scientist and economic policy advisor. Read the scenario and, respond to the following: Describe how an economic scientist would approach the tax cut recommended by the advisors in the scenario you just read. What are some economic factors that the economic scientist would consider when crafting his or her statement on the tax cut proposed? Describe how an economic policy advisor would approach the same tax cut and provide the reasoning behind the position. Remember to think like an economist scientist and economic policy advisor when you write your post, even if it goes against your own opinions about whether a tax cut is a good idea. To guide your responses, consider the following questions: What economic…

Some politicians have suggested that the United States enact a constitutional amendment requiring that the Federal government balance its budget annually. Such an amendment, f strictly enforced, would force the government to enact a contractionary fiscal policy whenever the economy experienced a severe recession. This is because when the economy enters a recession, 0000 net tax revenue falls and transfer payments rise. Balancing the budget would require raising transfer payments and raising taxes. net tax revenue rises and transfer payments fall. Balancing the budget would require raising transfer payments and lowering taxes. net tax revenue falls and transfer payments rise. Balancing the budget would require lowering transfer payments and raising taxes net tax revenue rises and transfer payments fall.
