Suppose Congress enacts a tax reform law, and the average federal tax rate drops from 30 per- cent to 20 percent. Researchers investigate the impact of the tax cut and find that the income subject to the tax increases from $600 billion to $800 billion. The theoretical explanation is that workers have increased their work effort in response to the incentive of lower taxes. Is this a movement along the downward-sloping or the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer curve?
What is meant by dynamic inconsistency? Give at least two examples of policies that are dynamically inconsistent.
Suppose policy makers decide to reduce the tax
rate. Show this in an IS-LM(policy rule) graph.

- If you have the power to cut or increase taxes in your country with the aim of boosting aggregate demand, which tax will you most likely touch: Value Added Tax (VAT), Income Tax, or Corporate Tax? Will you cut it or will you increase it? Why? Provide a good explanation for your answer using good economic basis.arrow_forwardWhich do you believe is the better macroeconomic policy to use for stabilizing (achieving potential GDP and controlling inflation) the economy - Monetary or Fiscal? SUPPORT your stance (for example, if you believe fiscal policy is better than monetary policy, explain how fiscal policy (pros) achieves these objectives better than monetary policy (cons)).arrow_forwardA neoclassical economist and a Keynesian economist are studying the economy of Vineland. It appears that Vineland is beginning to experience a mild recession with a decrease in aggregate demand. Which of these two economists would likely advocate that the government of Vineland take active measures to reverse this decline in aggregate demand? Why?arrow_forward
- Please write down whether the following statements are true or false, and explain your answer very briefly. If prices are constant economic incidence would be the more than legislative (statutory) incidence. Regarding incidence analysis, if we examine distributional changes which result if one tax is substituted for another while holding total expenditure and tax revenue as constant, then we use budget incidence. If the individual works more after the tax on labour, that means substitution effect outweighs the income effect. Supply side economists are for increasing the tax rates. As a result of increase in the tax rate, both excess burden and taxrevenue increase. 4 A progressive tax system encourages individuals to work harder. The more elastic is demand is relative to supply, the greater the portion of burden is borne by consumers.arrow_forwardIn one of your lectures, you heard your teacher saying that the government of a country is usually a net demander of funds. You felt extremely disappointed to know this and wanted to tell your teacher that he may be incorrect in his assertion. After all, the government pays salaries to so many people in the public service. It also takes care of the citizens through numerous projects like roads, hospitals, schools, utilities like electricity and water and many more public welfare activities. In a way therefore, the government releases funds in billions of dollars so that the country can run efficiently and productively. In your opinion the government supplies more than it takes. Your teacher Dr. B appears to be an arrogant man and you would rather discuss this confusion with one of your classmates whom you are close with and whom you think has a natural aptitude towards economics and finance. His name is Gordon. Briefly narrate how Gordon would remove your confusion.arrow_forwardSection 3 looks at the balance of Neoclassical and Keynesian perspectives and discusses why we may want to consider both perspectives when making policy, both short and long run. For this discussion: Using an example ( 2-3 sentences), demonstrate why it is important to consider both perspectives when making policy decisions ( Explain 2-3 sentences). Is there a time when it is appropriate to not worry about the long run? ( Explain 2-3 sentences) Is there a time when it is appropriate to focus more on the long run?( Explain 2-3 sentences)arrow_forward
