THE AGGREGATE EXPENDITURE MODEL (IN THE SHORT RUN)
YOU MUST SHOW YOUR CALCULATIONS IN THE SPACE BELOW
FOR THE NEXT PROBLEM USE THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:
CHANGE IN GDP = [ - MPC / (1-MPC) ] * CHANGE IN T
Initially, the economy is producing well below the level of
potential output of $16 trillion in goods and services. Also,
currently net taxes is $2.6 trillion.
According to precise government’s estimates, the government
believes that by reducing net taxes to $1.7 trillion the economy
will achieve full employment. a) What is the value of the net taxes
multiplier? (3 POINTS) b) Could you compute the initial level of
output in the economy? (7 POINTS)
Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.7
(MPC=0.7).

Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75 and the economy is in recession with real GDP $1 trillion below full-employment real GDP. To achieve full employment, aggregate demand (AD) must be increased $2 trillion. Following discretionary fiscal policy, government spending should be increased:
1. Suppose below diagram illustrates the aggregate expenditure function of an economy. a. What is the value of the equilibrium output in this economy? b. What is the value of the MPC according to the aggregate expenditure function? c. What is the value of the multiplier? d. What is the unplanned change in inventory when the real GDP is $15 billion? e. Suppose the economy is producing the macroeconomic equilibrium output level. If there is an increase in autonomous expenditure...

Aggregate expenditure is total value added in the economy income of households, businesses, governments, and foreigners. revenue from the sale of goods and services. spending on final goods and services. The MPC can be defined as the change in consumption divided by the change in income. change in income divided by the change in consumption. ratio of income to saving. ratio of saving to consumption. The relationship between the MPS and the MPC is such that MPC - MPS =...
When the aggregate demand curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve intersect, a) the long-run aggregate supply curve must also intersect at the same point. Ob) the economy must experience higher output than the natural level of output. o c) the economy must experience lower output than the natural level of output. o d) the economy is in short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. In a small economy in 2016, aggregate expenditure was $900 million while GDP that year was $750 million. Which...
