The economy in Country X is in a recession, with real gross domestic product (GDP) $100 billion below full-employment output. (a) Draw one correctly labeled graph of the short-run and long-run Phillips curves, labeling the current equilibrium point A. (b) Assume that the government increases spending by $20 billion to stimulate economic activity. Assume that the marginal propensity to save is 0.25. Calculate the maximum total change in real GDP that could occur following the $20 billion increase in government spending. (c) On your graph in part (a), label the new equilibrium point B as a result of the increase in government spending. (d) Had the government lowered personal income taxes by $20 billion instead of increasing spending by $20 billion, would the maximum total change in real GDP be greater than, smaller than, or the same as the one calculated in part (b) ? Explain.
If the government wants to reduce unemployment by influencing the level of activity in the economy, government spending could be ________ and/or taxes could be ________. A) decreased, decreased B) decreased, increased C) increased, increased D) increased, decreased

At break-even income level, households’ saving is zero. 1) True 2) False Cyclical unemployment is zero if there is no inflation. 1) True 2) False
Consider a one-sided search model of unemployment we developed in class. In class discussion we never mentioned how unemployment insurance benefit, b, is financed. For this question, you are going to incorporate it to the model. Let's assume that in order to finance the unemployment insurance benefit, b, the government imposes lump-sum tax, T, on each employed worker. Assuming that the economy is in a long-run steady-state equilibrium, the total amount that needs to be paid out to unemployed workers is bU, where as usual, U repre- sents the fraction of unemployed. The total amount of tax collected (which we can interpret as an unemployment insurance premium) from employed workers is (1U)T. The government runs balanced budget, hence, bU = (1 – U)T. In this new setting, please show the effect of an increase in unemployment in- surance benefits, b, on reservation wage, w*, and on the long-run unemployment rate, U. Using graphs clearly demonstrate how the behavior of this model is…
In the 1960s the U.S entered the Vietnam War, and military expenditures (part of government expenditures) grew from an annual rate of $113 billion to 138 billion. The economy was near full-employment and, therefore, given there was no offsetting tax increase, inflation pressures emerged. Assume the MPC is .75 C) With the AD Excess at $150 billion in 1968, what change in taxes would you have recommended? D) How would an increase in income/transfer payments of $150 billion have affected AD ? Have
Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table: 2020 Price Quantity 2021 Price Quantity Tennis Balls Percentage Change $2 100 True $2 100 False Golf Balls Bottles of Gatorade $4 100 $6 100 Complete the following table by computing the percentage change in price for each of the three goods. $2 200 $3 200 Tennis Balls Golf Balls Bottles of Gatorade 0% 50% Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is 50 True or False: If you were to learn that a bottle of Gatorade increased in size from 2020 to 2021, that information would raise your estimation of the inflation rate. %
Which of the following is an effect of deflation on debt? a) Debt becomes easier to repay b) Debt becomes more burdensome c) Debt levels remain unchanged d) Debt becomes irrelevant
Assume that the nominal interest rate is 8% in 2020, with inflation at 3%. a. According to the Fisher effect, what will happen to the nominal interest rate if inflation goes to 8%? b. If someone borrowed $1 million in 2020 at 8% (promising to pay $1,080,000 in one year) and paid back the loan one year later when inflation had unexpectedly gone to 8%, what would be the real interest rate on this loan?
If the economy's full employment rate of output is $6.0 trillion, what will happen to the unemployment rate assuming that it will persist into the future?
Instructions: Enter your answer as an absolute number. According to Okun's law, if a country's recessionary output gap grows by 5 percent, then its cyclical unemployment rate will increase by percent.
Define inflation. Explain why inflation is a macroeconomic concern. Question 2: How can the government utilize the instruments within a fiscal policy to stimulate economic activity in an economy experiencing a recession.
