Evaluating the Effectiveness of Fiscal Stimulus
A government enacts a $100 billion spending package. If this action simultaneously causes households to increase their savings by $30 billion and businesses to reduce their planned investments by $40 billion in direct response to the government's policy, the overall multiplier effect on the economy must still be greater than one.
A government initiates a $100 billion spending program on public infrastructure. For each of the following independent economic reactions that could occur, match it to its most likely consequence for the final change in the nation's total output.
A government increases its spending by $50 billion. In direct response to this policy, households increase their savings by $10 billion (reducing their consumption by the same amount), and firms reduce their planned investment by $20 billion. The initial, direct change in aggregate spending, before any subsequent rounds of spending occur, is a net increase of $____ billion.
A government announces a new $100 billion spending program. However, this policy also triggers immediate offsetting reactions in the private sector. Arrange the following events in the logical sequence that would lead to a final increase in total economic output of less than $100 billion.
