a. If the household follows Keynesian consumption function than reduction in taxes will lead to higher disposable income which will increase consumption.Higher disposable income will lead to more savings and hence investment will also increase. Increase income on hand will increase demand which will result in increase in output and reduction in taxes will make people earn more from exports and hence exports will also increase.
b. If the house hold is not able to anticipate future tax hike than it will have less disposable income and as a result there will be a decrease in consumption,investment output and net exports.
c. If the household able to anticipate future tax hike than it will reduce the consumption to save more money for investment and choose exports that can give him more profit.
2. Suppose the government announces that it will reduce taxes for one year with no change in government spending. D...

1. GDP - annual debt
2. government spending - tax revenue >0
3.government spending - tax revenue <0

Consider an economy in which taxes, planned investment, government spending on goods and services, and net exports are autonomous, but consumption and planned investment change as the interest rate changes. You are given the following information concerning autonomous consumption, the marginal propensity to consume, planned investment, government purchases of goods and services, and net exports: Ca = 1,500 – 10r; c = 0.6; Ta = 1,800; Ip = 2,400 – 50r; G = 2,000; NX = -200 (a)Derive Ep and...
What is crowding out? O a reduction in consumption and investment spending that results from government borrowing O a reduction in consumption and investment spending that results from increased international trade O a reduction in government borrowing resulting from increases in consumption and investment spending O a reduction in investment, but not consumption, that results from government borrowing O a reduction in consumption, but not investment, that results from government borrowing are a mechanism by which crowding out occurs. OIncreases...
Please answer question a
Question 2: The consumption function with taxes that change over time To do this question you need to be familiar with the Appendix to chapter 4, which deals with the determination of the two period consumption and is on the class website (see OnQ). Households must decide how much they wish to spend on consumption today ((1+1Jel) versus consumption in the future (0+τ)G), where t is the rate of taxation on consumption (HST). Households are constrained...
1.Consider a closed economy with no taxes, whose consumption function, investment level & government spending level are given by the following equations: C= 5,000 + .80Y I= 9,000 G= 2000 whereGrepresents government spending. The equilibrium condition is, as always, that the value of the economy’s output (Y) must be matched by aggregate demand, but now aggregate demand contains a third element, G. a. What is the equilibrium level of aggregate output for this economy? b. What is the saving function for this...
4. (20 points) Suppose that, in the basic one-period model, there is no government spending and no taxes. Production by the representative firm produces pollution in proportion to the amount of output produced. Given any consumption bundle (a consumption-leisure pair), the consumer is worse of the more pollution there is. a. In a diagram, show the competitive equilibrium and the Pareto optimum. Show that the competitive equilibrium is not Pareto optimal, and explain why. Is more or less output produced...
2 2 a negative sign() in front of those numbers. . If it increases government purchases, real GDP will increase by $ billion suggesting an expenditures multiplier of If the government instead lowers taxes, real GDP will increase by $ billion, suggesting a tax multiplier of b. Now suppose another country's MPC is 0.8, and in this country, government seeks to reduce real GDP by either decreasing government purchases by $40 billion or by raising taxes by the same amount...

Question 9 (13.5 points) You've taken a job as a chief macroeconomic advisor in a $100 million start-up firm. As your firm's business plan is launched, and sales immediately surge, the 28-year-old CEO expressed concern that sales of her product are vulnerable to economic fluctuation. She asks "Trade war with many economies would influence consumer sentiment in our market. I also heard that there is a rumor that there might be a downfall in financial market soon. I would like...
