The government of an economy has increased its spending and taxes by the same amount. What is the effect on investment?
When Government spending increases it classifies itself as an expansionary fiscal policy however when it increases the taxes by same magnitude it classifies as contractionary fiscal policy albeit with higher veracity and velocity as tax increases leads to tax buoyancy and thus investments from public rise to save on taxes. Had the taxesbeen lowered it would put breaks on investment cycle as tax outgo decreases substantially and people have little incentive for investment into financial products specifically.

Suppose a government decides to reduce spending and (lump-sum) income taxes by the same amount. Using the long-run model of the economy, graphically illustrate the impact of the equal reductions in spending and taxes. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. The direction the curves shift; and v. the terminal equilibrium values. b. State in words what happens to: i. the real interest rate; ii. national saving; iii. investment; iv. consumption;...
The government of Pangea, a small open economy with a flexible exchange rate, has increased government spending by $20 billion. Economists argue that after the crowding-out effect on investment and the crowding-out effect on net exports, the increases in government spending will not affect aggregate demand. Arrange each statement in the proper sequence of events from first to last, to illustrate the reasoning behind this argument. First reduction in net exports due to the appreciation of the domestic currency increased...

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...
A closed economy has income of $1,200 billion, government spending of $220 billion, taxes of $170 billion, and investment spending of $250 billion. Consumption spending is $ billion. Private saving is $ billion. Public saving is $ billion. National saving is $ billion. Enter whole numbers.
An economy is initially at full employment, but a decrease in planned investment spending (a component of autonomous expenditure) pushes the economy into recession. Assume that the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) of this economy is 0.75 and that the multiplier is 4 a. How large is the recessionary gap after the fall in planned investment? The recessionary gap is times the size of the fall in planned investment. b. By how much would the government have to change its...
