  1. Test Review AE & Fiscal Policy Remember, the next test will be over AD/AS [about half] and AE and Fiscal Policy. Make sure you know these 28 questions on AE and Fiscal Policy.

  2. Fiscal Policy Test Review 1-2 1.Expansionary fiscal policy will be most effective [increase GDP]when theAS curveis(vertical/horizontal) & (incr/decr) “C” and (incr/decr) unemployment. 2.The paradox of thrift indicates that an increase in saving (matched/unmatched) by an increase in investment will lower equilibrium GDP.

  3. Fiscal Policy Test Review 3-4 [#3 & #4, start from a balanced budget] 3. A contractionary fiscal policy[decr G, incr T] would cause a[an] (incr/decr) in output[GDP] and a[an] (incr/decr) in interest rates. 4. An expansionary fiscal policy[incr G, decr T] would cause a[an] (incr/decr) in output[GDP] and a[an] (incr/decr) in interest rates. 5. In the AE model, if AE[AD]doesn’t buy up FE output(GDP),then the equilibrium output is (less than/more then) full employment output. G $2 Trillion T $2 Trillion [T ; LFM ; In. Rates ] [G ; LFM ; In. Rates ] [T ; LFM ; In. Rates ] [G ; LFM ; In. Rates ] “Inflationary Gap” “Recessionary Gap”

  4. 6. To decrease AD the greatest amount, the government should: (decrease “G” only/increase “T” only/both decr G & incr T) 7. To increase AD the greatest amount, the “G” should: (increase “G” only/decrease “T” only/both incr G and decr T) 8. With a MPC of .5 and current output at $500 billion, but F.E. output is $700 billion, correct fiscal policy would be to (increase G/Decrease T) by $100 billion. 9. If businesses are experiencing an unplanned increase in inventories, AE is (less than/greater than) FE output and spending in the economy will (increase/decrease). 10. If businesses are experiencing an unplanned decrease in inventories[disinvestment]AE is (less than/greater than) FE output & spending in the economy will (increase/decrease).

  5. 500 500 11. If “C” equals income at $500 billion, & MPC is .9, then an increase in Ig of $10 billion will change equilibrium GDP to ($400/$490/$510/$600) billion. 12. A conservative economistwould want tax (incr/decr) during a recession & (incr/decr) in “G” during inflationary times. 13. A liberal economistwould want tax (incr/decr) during an inflation & (incr/decr) in “G” during recessionary periods. 14. An inflationary gap indicates AE[actual GDP] (exceeds/falls short of) FE GDP. 15. A recessionary gapindicates AE[actual GDP] (exceeds/falls short of) FE GDP. 16. To increase GDP [but reduce military spending], we would combine two (domestic/overseas) bases into one (domestic/overseas) base. 17. A tax cut to expand the economywould (incr/decr) Y & (incr/decr) in. rates. 18. A tax increase to contract the economywould(incr/decr) Y & (incr/decr) IR.

  6. Test Review 19-22 19. To increase equilibrium GDP by $400,000, with a MPC of .5, a Keynesian economist would (decrease “T”/increase “G”) by $200,000. 20. Equilibrium GDP is $500 billionand MPS is .4. Now “G” collects taxes of $22 billion and spends the entire amount. As a result, equilibrium GDP will change to: ($445/$478/$522/$555). 21. With a MPC of .5, a $12 billion increase in “G” will increase “C”by($12/$24/$36) bil. 22. With a MPC of .5 and the economy in a recessionaryspending gapof $12 billion, we may conclude that the equilibrium is ($12/$24/$36) billion short of FE GDP.

  7. Test Review 23-26 [Incr T or Decr G] 23. An increase in Ig of $25 billionresulted in an increase in equilibrium income (GDP) of $50B, so the MPS was? 24. A contractionary fiscal policyresults in a(n) (incr/decr) in output, and a(n) (incr/decr) in interest rates. 25. Increasing T or decreasing Gwill (increase/decrease) consumption, and (increase/decrease) unemployment. 26. With a MPC of .5, and the economy with an inflationaryGDP Gapof $50 billion, G could eliminate this inflationaryGDP by reducing government spendingby? $25 billion

  8. Test Review 27-28 27. An increase in Igin an economy (increase)/decrease)GDP & (increase/decrease) C. 28. If there is an equal increase in G and T of $25 billion in the horizontal range of AS, then output will (increase/decrease/stay the same). PL AD1 AD2 PL RGDP

  13. 6. Paradox of Thrift applies in the Keynesian range or Classical range? 7. Ratchet effect – are prices and wages “sticky” up or down? 8. Crowding out - An increase in government spending causes the interest rate to (increase/decrease) &, Ig to (increase/decrease)? 9.

If businesses are experiencing an unplanned increase in inventories, AE is (less than/greater than) FE output and spending in the economy will (increase/decrease). 10. If businesses are experiencing an unplanned decrease in inventories[disinvestment]AE is (less than/greater than) FE output & spending in the economy will (increase/decrease).

  37. 500 500 11. If “C” equals income at $500 billion, & MPC is .9, then an increase in Ig of $10 billion will change equilibrium GDP to ($400/$490/$510/$600) billion. 12.

  38. Test Review 19-22 19. To increase equilibrium GDP by $400,000, with a MPC of .5, a Keynesian economist would (decrease “T”/increase “G”) by $200,000. 20. Equilibrium GDP is $500 billionand MPS is .4. Now “G” collects taxes of $22 billion and spends the entire amount. As a result, equilibrium GDP will change to: ($445/$478/$522/$555). 21. With a MPC of .5, a $12 billion increase in “G” will increase “C”by($12/$24/$36) bil. 22.
