Currently, a government's budget is balanced. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.80. The government has determined that each additional $10 Billion in new government debt it issues to finance a budget deficit pushes up the market interest rate by 0.1 percentage point. It has also determined that every 0.1 percentage point change in the market interest rate generates a change in investment expenditures equal to $2 Billion. Finally, the government knows that to close a recessionary gap and take...
