Increases in real GDP are often interpreted as increases in welfare. What are some problems with this interpretation? Which do you think is the biggest problem with it, and why?
In an economy where people spend 80% of
their incomes, the government lowers taxes
by $5000. Calculate the change in real GDP
that results.
(Be extra careful to follow numeric
instructions; round intermediate steps to four
decimal places and your final answer to two.
Use a positive number to denote an increase
and a negative number (with negative sign) to
denote a decrease.)
Savings and wealth - Although the United States is one of the richest nations in the world, it is also one of the world's largest debtor nation. We often hear that the problem is our low savings rate. Suppose policy makers attempt to rectify this be encouraging greater savings in the economy. What could they do to make you save more? Would raising minimum wage help? What effects would their successful attempts have on GDP? Is this a good or bad idea? What can you do to increase your savings rate? Also, how is wealth related to savings?
