Between 2014 and 2015, the exports of the U.S. economy decreased by $5 billion and its imports increased by $5 billion. All else
equal? By how much has the GDP changed between the two years?
Select one:
a. None of the answers are correct
b. The change in net exports will increase GDP by $5 billion.
c. The change in net exports will decrease GDP by $5 billion.
d. The change in net exports will decrease GDP by $10 billion.
e. The decrease in exports is offset by the decrease in imports, so there is no change in net exports and no effect on GDP.
Assume that total expenditure E comprises the sum of government consumption, G, household consumption, C, and investment, I. Assume a closed macroeconomic system, so that income equals expenditure Y=E. If we define household saving, SH, as SH=Y-T-C, where Y is national income and T is total taxation, which of the following will be true?
a. SH=I+G
b. SH=I-G-T
c. SH=I+(G-T)
d. SH=I
Problems 2. Draw the graph and label correctly
Suppose in a simple economy with no foreign sector, the mpc equals 0.8. Intended investment spending
has suddenly fallen, reducing AD and output to a level that is 100 million below Y*. (FE)
a. If the government decided to try to get the economy back to full employment using only an increase
in government spending (AG), by how much would G need to be increased?
b. If the government, instead, decided to try to get the economy back to full employment using only a
Jump-sum tax cut (AT), how big of a tax cut would be needed?
