  1. Public Sector and Full Employment GDP Chapter 10 continued

  2. Government Spending • An increase in gov’t spending boosts aggregate expenditure • See the table on page 190 and graph on page 191 • Gov’t spending is 20 billion at every level • The new equilibrium is 550 • GDP = C (510) + Ig (20) + Xn (0) + G (20) • Remember that GDP was 470 when it was only C + Ig

  3. Tax Increase • Taxes reduce DI so C and S decreases at each level • Increase in taxes will lower the aggregate expenditure • See table 10.4 on page 191 and graph on page 192 • Tax is 20 billion at each level • The new GDP equilibrium is 490

  4. The sum of leakages (savings, imports and taxes) = sum of injections (investment, exports and G purchases) at the equilibrium GDP

  5. G vs tax cuts • An = increase in G spending and taxes increases the equilibrium GDP • An increase in G is direct and adds $20 billion (example) to aggregate expenditures • A decrease in T has indirect effect on aggregate expenditures because T cuts can be C (mpc) or S (mps). S is a leakage.
