Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, DI is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases:
C�
= =
30+0.8×DI30+0.8×DI
G�
= =
5050
I�
= =
6060
Initially, this economy had a lump sum tax. Suppose net taxes were $50 billion, so that disposable income was equal to Y – 50, where Y is real GDP. In this case, this economy's aggregate output demanded was ___________ .
Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the spending multiplier is ____________ , this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by ____________ .
Now suppose that the government switches to a proportional tax on income of 10%. Because consumers retain the remaining 90% of their income, disposable income is now equal to 0.90Y. In this case, the economy's aggregate output…
Suppose that a vaccine manufacturing company
owned entirely by U.S. citizens opens a new facility in
Canada. Answer all three parts below. In each case,
carefully explain your answer.
a) What sort of foreign investment would this
represent?
b) What would be the effect of this investment on
current Canadian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and
U.S. GDP?
c) What would be the effect of this investment on
future per capita incomes in Canada?
Consider the following model of an economy with no international trade, and in which the price level is fixed:
C = 40 + (8/9)∙DI
I = 30
G = 30
Taxes = (1/8)∙GDP
where C is consumption demand, DI is disposable income, I is planned investment, G is government purchases, and all whole numbers are in billions of dollars.
Determine the equilibrium level of production (GDP) in this economy (show your work), and draw this equilibrium situation on a graph.
Use the multiplier to determine the change in equilibrium GDP that would result from an exogenous 16 billion dollar increase of government purchases. Then determine…
