Consider a closed economy with P̅ fixed: Y=C+I+G, C=c(Y-T) with 0<c<1, I=I̅-dr (d>0), T=τ Y (0<τ<1), G=G̅, money market M̅/P̅=L=aY-bi (a,b>0), and i=r+π^e. In ceteris paribus, a unit increase in government expenditure has the following impact on equilibrium income: (A) it increases by 1/(b[1-c(1-τ)]+ad) units (B) it decreases by 1/(b[1-c(1-τ)]+ad) units (C) it increases by b/(b[1-c(1-τ)]+ad) units (D) it decreases by b/(b[1-c(1-τ)]+ad) units
Also written as: Consider a closed economy with P_bar fixed: Y=C+I+G, C=c(Y-T) with 0<c<1, I=I_bar-dr (d>0), T=tau Y (0<tau<1), G=G_bar, money market M_bar/P_bar=L=aY-bi (a,b>0), and i=r+pi^e. In ceteris paribus, a unit increase in government expenditure has the following impact on equilibrium income:
