Assume an open, mixed economy. That is, foreign trade is part of the economy, and the economy includes both a public (government) and a private (consumers and businesses) sector. Given this, aggregate demand is expressed as (C + I + G + X). Assume the MPC is .7. Assume a stimulus package of $100 billion has been approved by Congress and the money has been spent. In order to pay for those expenditures, Congress also approved a $100 billion increase in individual income taxes. (This means Congress would not allow deficit spending in order to stimulate the economy.) Will these actions by Congress expand or contract the economy or are they just useless actions?

    In order to financially stimulate the nation, the Federal government injected $900 billion dollars into the economy. However, the results were less than spectacular. One reason could have been a failure to understand the marginal propensity to consume. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) was only 0.4. How much of that $900 billion went to increased consumption? Where did the rest of the money go? Increased consumption: _______________________ Where did the rest go? _____________________ Using MPC = 0.4, what...

    The U.S. economy slowed significantly in early 2008, and policy makers were extremely concerned about growth. To boost the economy, Congress passed several relief packages (the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that combined would deliver about $700 billion in government spending. Assume, for the sake of argument, that this spending was in the form of payments made directly to consumers. The objective was to boost the economy by increasing the disposable...
