Explain how the aggregate expenditure function shifts in response to changes in each of the following variables:
a. Autonomous investment increases.
b. Stagflation occurs.
c. Higher taxes are imposed on business profits.
d. The marginal propensity to save (MPS) increases. (Here I am looking for a short run effect.)
a. Autonomous investment increases.
it will shift Aggregate expenditure curve upwards. increase in autonomous expenditure leads to rise in aggregate expenditure. Investment induces rise in aggregate demand.
b. Stagflation occurs.
stagnation will shift the aggregate expenditure downward. Inflation increases expenditure and stagnation leads to fall in expenditure. Relative movement will decide the actual movement.
c. Higher taxes are imposed on business profits.
it will shift aggregate expenditure downwards. Increase in taxes discourages private investment, so the demand will fall.
d. The marginal propensity to save (MPS) increases. (Here I am looking for a short run effect.)
Increase in MPS implies that there is fall in expenditure in economy. So expenditure function curve will shift down,

Explain why each of the following are true, false, or uncertain. Use diagrams where appropriate. It is the explanation that is important. 5. When aggregate consumption is $100 (billion) while disposable income is $120 (billion), the marginal propensity to save from disposable income must be 20%. 6. Ceteris paribus, an increase in the domestic price level increases the price of domestic goods increases their price relative to foreign goods resulting in a downward shift of aggregate expenditures and a leftward...

D) 0.3. 6) When the GDP in Kuwait rises relative to the GDP in other countries, will fall and will fall A) exports; imports B) exports; net exports C) imports; net exports D) net exports; imports 7) An increase in the price level will A) shift the aggregate demand curve to the left. B) shift the aggregate demand...

C) the 20) When aggregate demand curve shifts to the left. the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the left. t spending without an accompanying increase 21) An increase in govenment spending n taxes demand A) does not increase aggregate B) would effectively eliminate an inflationary gap. Q mquires additional govemment borrowing spending...
Q4 (14 points) For each of the following changes, determine the effect on the aggregate demand curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve, as well as the effect on the aggregate price level and aggregate level of output. a. (3 points) Government reduces taxes b. (4 points) Government reduces taxes at the same time that nominal wages fall c. (3 points) Households' real wealth increases d. (4 points) There is an increase in precautionary demand for money by households
Determine and explain how each of the components of aggregate expenditures (C,I,G net exports) change in response to change in each of the following variables (whether each components increase, decrease, or remain the same as a results of the following factors with explanations). Net export= X-M A. The real interest rate increase B. Consumer confidence decrease. C. Higher taxes are imposed on business profits. D. The economics of the countries in the rest of the world go into recessions e....
Explain the effect of each of the following events on Mexico's aggregate demand. If the government of Mexico cuts income taxes, Mexico's aggregate demand O A. increases, and the aggregate demand curve shifts leftward O B. increases, and the aggregate demand curve shifts rightward O C. is unchanged, but the price level falls and quantity of real GDP demanded increases OD. decreases because it decreases the amount the government can spend O E. is unchanged because it just decreases the...
Product 13) 13) The gap that exists when equilibrium real Gross Domestic (GDP) is greater than full employment real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is called a(n) A) demand gap. C) recessionary gap B) employment gap D) inflationary gap 14) 14) Economic growth will NOT result in inflation if aggregate demand shifts A) outward to the right at the same speed as aggregate supply B) outward to the right as aggregate supply shifts inward to the left. C) inward to the...
Determine whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate demand curve, or both. For each event that shift a curve, illustrate, and explain the effect using AD-AS. a. Due to Covid-19, many households feel pessimistic with the economy and decide to save more.b. Due to Covid-19 outbreak, many factories are forced to halt production for semiconductor. c. OPEC decide to raise the global price for oil.
Using the model of long-run income determination developed in Chapter 3, explain how the following changes affect the real interest rate, investment, consumption, and government expenditure. Include the appropriate diagram as part of your answer in each case. (a) The government increases government purchases. (b) The government increases taxes and government purchases by identical amounts (i.e. new expen- ditures are paid for with new taxes). Does your answer depend on the marginal propensity to consume? Explain. (c) Expectations about the...
