Use of Government Funds • Economic Services • Agricultural, trade and industry, power and energy, transport and communication sectors • Social Services • Education and Health Services • Defense • National Security • General Public Services • Government branches, departments, agencies • Interest Payments
New Equilibrium • (1) Y = C + I + G • where : I and G are autonomous inflows • (2) C = b + c Y • where: Yd = disposable income and • (3) Yd = Y – T • Taxes depend on the level of income, so the tax function very similar to the savings function
(4) T= s + tY • Where T= taxes • s = the level of taxes if y=0 • t = Marginal Propensity to Tax (MPT) Ex. The change in the level of taxes corresponding to a change in the level of income, or change in T/ change in Y
Substituting, we get: • (5) Y = b + c (Y-T) + I + G • (6) Y = b + C [Y – (s + tY)] + I + G
New Equilibrium with Govt and Taxes • (7) Y = 1 . X (b – cs + I + G) 1 – c + ct
New Multiplier • Multiplier (w/ G, T) = 1 . 1- c + ct
Rigidity in Government Spending • Govt MUST Cut Down Spending • But WHERE? • There is always a TRADE OFF. • Address Debts • High Interest Expense • Minimize Corruption • Strong Political Will
