In an economy, if initial investments are increased by ₹ 100 crores, discuss the working of investment multiplier presuming marginal propensity to consume is 0.8.
Suppose that for a particular economy, investment is equal to 200, government purchases are 150, net taxes (that is lump-sum taxes minus transfers) is 100 and consumption is given by C = 100 + 0.75Y,
What is the level of equilibrium income?
Calculate the value of the government expenditure multiplier and the tax multiplier.
If government expenditure increases by 200, find the change in equilibrium income.
In the above question, calculate the effect on output of a 10 percent increase in transfers, and a 10 percent increase in lump-sum taxes. Compare the effects of the two.
