1 Chapter An example of an autonomous consumption policy is a policy that A) lowers tax rates to stimulate additional consumer spending. B) makes credit more widely available to consumers in order to stimulate greater borrowing. C) increases unemployment compensation to prevent consumption from falling when unemployment rises. D) increases the multiplier and in this way increases consumption spending. 2. Consider the case where prices are flexible in the short run and the government wants to eliminate a recessionary gap of $200 by increasing government spending. If the mpc is.8, then the government should increase spending by A) $20. B) $40. C) greater than $40. D) $ Assume the price level is flexible. Suppose the government wants to eliminate an inflationary gap of $1,000 and the mpc is.8. The government should increase taxes by A) $200. B) $250. C) more than $250. D) none of the above; the government should decrease taxes instead. 4. Suppose government spending increases by 50. If equilibrium output rises by 100 and interest rates increase as well, then A) it can be inferred that the mpc is 1/2. B) it can be inferred that the mpc is less than 1/2. C) it can be inferred that the mpc is greater than 1/2. D) no inference can be made about the value of the mpc. 5. Crowding out A) increases the multiplier effect, so an increase in taxes reduces income by more. B) increases the multiplier effect, so an increase in taxes reduces income by less. C) decreases the multiplier effect, so an increase in taxes reduces income by more. D) decreases the multiplier effect, so an increase in taxes reduces income by less. Page 1

12 Answer Key 1. B See the description of autonomous consumption policies in the text. 2. C In the case where prices are flexible, the multiplier is smaller than in the fixed-price case and larger increases in government spending are required to close a recessionary gap. 3. C See the Applying the Tools box. 4. C Since interest rates rose as a result of the increase in government spending, crowding out occurred. This crowding out reduced the multiplier below what it would have been in the absence of crowding out (i.e. 1/(1-mpc)). Since the observed multiplier was 2, the multiplier in the absence of crowding out must be greater than 2, so the mpc must be greater than 1/2. 5. D Crowding out produces lower interest rates that reduce the contractionary effect of a tax increase, so it reduces the multiplier. 6. B Since the multiplier is 1/(1-mpc) or 10 when the mpc = 0.9, the cut in government spending will be magnified into a decline in equilibrium output that is ten times as great. 7. B The multiplier is 1/(1-mpc) or five if the mpc equals 0.8, so raising spending by $20 billion will raise equilibrium income by $100 billion. 8. C Changes in income tax rates are one type of fiscal policy. 9. C Keynesians assume that deficit financing has no or little effect on interest rates, so there is little offsetting effect on business investment. 10. A Lowering the budget deficit reduces both government borrowing and government bond sales. The result is a drop in interest rates and an increase in private investment. If private investment is more productive than government spending, income could grow if the increase in private investment is significant enough. 11. C Increasing imports is contractionary. 12. D Page 12
13 Both Keynesians and Classicals recognize that fine tuning is very difficult because the dynamic adjustment process that governs the macroeconomy is extremely complicated and poorly understood. 13. B When equilibrium income is above potential income, an inflationary gap arises because pressure for wage and price increases develops. 14. B As income and employment increase, automatic stabilizers increase tax revenues and reduce transfer payments, both of which reduce the increase in aggregate demand and help to stem inflationary pressures. 15. B The shift in the AE curve causes equilibrium income to fall by $150. Since the mpc is 0.8, the government spending multiplier is 5 (=1/[1-mpc]), so that government spending has to change by only one-fifth of the change in income. 16. C The huge increase in defence spending would have eliminated the recessionary gap produced by the Depression and created an inflationary gap instead, leading to an upward shift of the AS curve. 17. A Higher income generates higher income tax revenues, which cause aggregate demand to increase less rapidly than it otherwise would. 18. C Increasing taxes reduces aggregate demand, causing a decrease in income that exceeds $10 billion because of the multiplier effect. 19. A Property taxes are based on the value of a piece of property and do not vary with income, so they cannot be an automatic stabilizer. 20. C A recessionary gap occurs when income falls below potential GDP. 21. D If equilibrium output is below the range, a more expansionary fiscal policy is called for. If equilibrium output is above the range, a more contractionary fiscal policy is called for. If equilibrium output is inside the range, no change in fiscal policy is probably best. 22. C Automatic stabilizers are countercyclical fiscal policies so as income rises, taxes increase and spending decreases. Both changes reduce a deficit or increase a surplus. 23. D Higher income and lower unemployment raise tax revenues and reduce transfer payments. These changes moderate any increase in consumption and slow the rate of expansion. Page 13
14 24. C Problems such as lags, crowding out, policy conflicts, and political resistance would still make fine tuning difficult. 25. C In the case where prices are flexible, the multiplier is smaller than in the fixed-price case and larger increases in government spending are required to close a recessionary gap. 26. A Lower income and higher unemployment reduce tax revenues and increase transfer payments, helping to maintain consumption and reduce the size of the recession. 27. A The huge increase in defence spending would have eliminated the recessionary gap produced by the Depression and created an inflationary gap instead, leading to both a higher level of output and a higher price level. 28. B Automatic stabilizers are countercyclical fiscal policies so as income falls, taxes fall and spending increases. Both changes increase a budget deficit or reduce a surplus. 29. A Without the multiplier, spending would no longer be a public good because increases in spending would benefit only the people involved in a particular transaction. Thus a one dollar increase in spending would generate only a one dollar increase in income. 30. A The multiplier is smaller than in the fixed-price case. This occurs for both expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy. 31. B Interest rate policies alter the cost of borrowing to finance investment spending rather than investment expectations. 32. C Since the multiplier is 4 in this case if there are no offsetting effects, the AD curve should have shifted out by 200 if there were no crowding out. Since the AD curve shifted out by only 150, investment must have been reduced by D The size of the government debt may adversely affect the economy, and this may limit the usefulness of fiscal policy. 34. C Reducing aggregate demand by cutting spending or raising taxes lowers equilibrium income which reduces upward pressure on wages and prices. 35. B Page 14
15 Crowding out occurs when government bond sales drive up interest rates and reduce business investment. 36. C See the Applying the Tools box. 37. C Contractionary fiscal policy either reduces spending or raises taxes, both of which tend to create a budget surplus. A budget surplus can also result from an economic boom that raises tax revenue and reduces spending. 38. C Potential output is determined by supply side factors that are largely unaffected by the budget surplus or deficit. 39. C The huge increase in defence spending created an economic boom but was financed in large part by borrowing. 40. A When the government runs a deficit, it does so through selling bonds. To get people to buy these bonds, they must offer higher interest rates on them. 41. A Crowding out arises when government bond sales drive up interest rates and depress business investment. 42. B Cutting income taxes will increase the incomes of consumers, leading to an increase in aggregate demand and income. 43. B Bond sales provide the funds the government needs to cover the budget deficit. 44. B See the Applying the Tools box. 45. C The higher prices will cause the AE curve to shift downward. Thus a tenfold increase of real output will require a multiplier greater than 10 and an mpc greater than A The huge increase in defence spending increased aggregate expenditure at each income level, causing the AE curve to shift up and the AD curve to shift out. 47. C Automatic stabilizers reduce economic fluctuations by causing countercyclical changes in taxes and transfer payments. 48. D Page 15
16 The presence of automatic stabilizers reduces tax revenues and increases transfer payments during an economic contraction and therefore increase the budget deficit. The reverse is true during an economic recovery or expansion. 49. A Divide the recessionary gap of 240 by the multiplier of C Countercyclical fiscal policy is designed to mitigate the effects of any changes in aggregate demand that might create a business cycle.
