- An economy is currently operating with a significant recessionary gap. If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.8 and the government increases spending by $200 billion, what is the theoretical total increase in aggregate demand, assuming no crowding out?A) $250 billionB) $800 billionC) $1 trillionD) $1.2 trillion
- According to the Ricardian Equivalence proposition, debt-financed government spending is more effective at stimulating aggregate demand than tax-financed spending because consumers do not anticipate future tax increases.A) TrueB) False
