Suppose the economy is operating at equilibrium, with Y 0 = 1,000. If the government undertakes a fiscal change whereby the tax rate, t , increases by .05 and government spending increases by 50, will the budget surplus go up or down? Why?

Step 1
The economy is initially at equilibrium with an output level \( Y_0 = 1,000 \). The government changes the fiscal policy by increasing the tax rate \( t \) by 0.05 and increasing government spending by 50. Show more…

Suppose the economy is operating at equilibrium, with Y 0 1,000. If the government undertakes a fiscal change whereby the tax rate, t , increases by .05 and government spending increases by 50, will the budget surplus go up or down? Why? Can you try to explain this intuitively without the example?

If the consumption function is $C=100+0.75 Y, I=$ $200,$ and government spending is $200,$ what will be the equilibrium level of output? Demonstrate your answer with a Keynesian cross diagram. What happens to aggregate output if government spending rises by $100 ?$
