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.
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.
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.

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).
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.
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.
