The federal government decides to stimulate the economy and increases government expenditure on new infrastructure projects by 110
billion. The marginal propensity to consume is MPC = 0.3 and the marginal propensity to import is MPI = 0.05. Suppose the crowding-out
effect is twice the amount of government spending, what is the change in output caused by the stimulus package of 110 billion in a closed
economy?
Number
explain the crowding out effect on consumption and investment
If the president and parliament agree on a policy to reduce the budget deficit by increasing taxes while holding government spending constant, what impact will this fiscal contraction policy have on output and interest rates?
