2. The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.80 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.20. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $300 billion. The decrease in government purchases will lead to a decrease in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to . This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to . The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve ( AD,) for this economy before the change in government spending. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the new aggregate demand curve ( ADe) after the spending multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure that the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to the initial aggregate demand curve (A Dj). You can see the slope of AD, by selecting it on the graph.

Using fiscal policy to combat a recession The following graph shows aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) curves for a hypothetical economy.

In order to move the economy to full-employment output at the lowest possible price level, the aggregate demand curve must shift to the by at each price level. Use the green line (triangle symbols) to show the shift in aggregate demand necessary to return the economy to full employment. Then use the purple drop lines (diamond symbol) to show the macroeconomic equilibrium at full-employment output. Be sure the new aggregate demand curve ( AD2) is parallel to AD1. You can click on A Dj to see its slope. Suppose the government in this economy wants to enact fiscal policies that will shift the aggregate demand curve in the direction and magnitude you indicated. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in this economy is 0.8. This implies a spending multiplier of and a tax multiplier ofSuppose the full employment output level in this economy is $300 billion. In order to move the economy to full-employment output at the lowest possible price level, the aggregate demand curve must shift to the by at each price level. Use the green line (triangle symbols) to show the shift in aggregate demand necessary to return the economy to full employment. Then use the purple drop lines (diamond symbol) to show the macroeconomic equilibrium at full-employment output. Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to AD1. You can click on A D1 to see its slope. Suppose the government in this economy wants to enact fiscal policies that will shift the aggregate demand curve in the direction and magnitude you indicated. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in this economy is 0.8. This implies a spending multiplier of and a tax multiplier of Consider each fiscal policy listed here. Which policies would shift the aggregate demand curve in a way that restores full-employment output at the lowest possible price level? Check all that apply. Increase government expenditures by $16 billion Increase taxes by $20 billion Decrease taxes by $25 billion and decrease government expenditures by $8 billion Increase government expenditures by $24 billion and raise taxes by $10 billion Increase government expenditures by $80 billion and raise taxes by $80 billion4. Using fiscal policy to fight inflation Consider the hypothetical economy depicted on the graph. Initially, the economy operates below fullemployment output at a price level of 105 and real GDP of $480 billion. Then aggregate demand (AD) increases from ADI to ADQ, moying the economy up along the intermediate and classical ranges of the aggregate supply (AS) curye. Real GDP increases to the fullemployment output level of $540 billion, and the price level increases to 120. .'f \\- '\\._-_x 12: AS 125 123 -+ I 115 : 5\" AD 2:; 11: I 1 d I 21135 -+ E I I E 13: I I E I I I I I I M I I a, I I I I as I I a: I I AD1 4c: 42: 44: 4e: 43: 53: 523 543 sec 533 as: REAL GDP [Billions ofoollars} The increase in aggregate demand from ADl to ADQ causes inflation.

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.90. The government wants to avoid the double-digit inflation associated with the shift from AD, to A Dy. The lowest possible price level associated with full-employment output is 110. To achieve a price level of 110 and full- employment output, the government must enact a fiscal policy that reduces aggregate demand by $40 billion at each price level. To reduce aggregate demand by $40 billion, the government can government expenditures by If the government wants to use a change in tax policy instead to reduce aggregate demand by $40 billion, it should taxes by5. Automatic adjustments to the government budget The following table provides some information on government spending (G) and tax revenues (T) at different levels of real GDP in a hypothetical economy.
