Consider the following statement: "Fiscal policy is a very precise tool for controlling aggregate demand. If the government wants to increase aggregate demand by $5 billion, all it has to do is carry out carry out exactly $5 billion worth of government spending". Is this statement true or false?

FISCAL POLICY IN-CLASS WORKSHEET 2 This question explores the role of expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy in the Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply model. You will use schedules for an aggregate demand line and an aggregate supply line to identify the equilibrium price level and real GDP in a macroeconomy. Additionally, you will compare the short-run equilibrium level of real GDP to the full employment level of real GDP to identify desirable fiscal policies. Below, you are provided the schedules...
6. Considering how fiscal policy influences aggregate demand, explain the theory behind the multiplier effect b) Assuming the economy has a MPC of 0.8, use the multiplier effect to explain what would happen if the government spends $3 billion on construction. c) Explain the crowding-out effect on investment' 7. What are the five main debates in Macroeconomics? Choose one and outline the pros and cons of the issue.
(1) Which of the following is not a tool of fiscal policy? Government spending Taxes Tax incentives Private investment (2) Which of the following statements helps to explain why the economy can be slow to recover from a recession? Workers are less motivated because of reduced expectations, which reduces total output. There is not as much money in circulation to fuel new investment. Wages do not fall quickly, which delays an adjustment to a higher output level....
If crowding out exists, contractionary fiscal policy will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift in by more than indicated by the government spending multiplier. True False
Question 38 A contractionary fiscal policy is shown as a: rightward shift in the economy's aggregate demand curve. rightward shift in the economy's aggregate supply curve. movement along an existing aggregate demand curve. leftward shift in the economy's aggregate demand curve. Question 39 An appropriate fiscal policy for a severe recession is: a decrease in government spending. a decrease in tax rates. appreciation of the dollar. an increase in interest rates.
policy ge rate 's and 8. Does fiscal policy have a strong impact on aggregate demand? Did the shift of the federal budget from deficit to surplus during the 1990s weaken aggregate demand? Did the government spending increases and large budget deficits of 2008-2011 strengthen aggregate demand? Discuss.
Refer to the table below Suppose that aggregate demand increases such that the amount of real output demanded rises by $7 billion at each price levela. By what percentage will the price level increase?Will this inflation be demand-pull inflation or will it be cost-push inflation?b. If potential real GDP (that is, full-employment GDP) is $510 billion, what will be the size of the positive GDP gap after the change in aggregate demand?c. If government wants to use fiscal policy to counter...
1. When countries have severe debt problems: fiscal policy is an especially good idea. expansionary fiscal policy can reduce real growth. it makes no difference for fiscal policy. they can continue to borrow forever without any adverse consequences. 2. Increases in government spending financed through additional borrowing will typically: lead to higher taxes. lead to higher interest rates. stimulate both consumption and investment. provide more stimulus than when government spending is financed through higher taxes. 3. In a recession, automatic...
