Eco 6351 Economics for Managers Chapter 12. Fiscal Policy Prof. Vera Adamchik

Undesired equilibrium There is no guarantee that AD will always produce an equilibrium at full employment and price stability. Sometimes there will be too little demand and sometimes there will be too much. Equilibrium output is not necessarily the same as the full employment level of output. Hence, the aggregate demand for goods and services will not always be compatible with economic stability.

Inadequate Demand SRAS AD 2 AD* AD 1 a c b P* Q1Q1 Q FE REAL OUTPUT (quantity per year) PRICE LEVEL (average price) P2P2 Too little AD: Unemployment Too much AD: Inflation Q2Q2 LRAS

Components of AD The four major components of aggregate demand are: – consumption expenditure (C) – investment (I) – government expenditure (G) – net exports (NX = exports minus imports = X-M) These four components of AD sum to real GDP (see Chapter 2)

Determinants of AD = C+I+G+NX Change in consumer spending (C): –Consumer wealth –Consumer expectations –Consumer indebtedness –Taxes

Determinants of AD = C+I+G+NX Change in investment spending (I): –Real interest rates –Expected returns Expected future business conditions Technology Degree of excess capacity Business taxes

Determinants of AD = C+I+G+NX Change in government spending (G) Change in net export spending (NX) –National income abroad –Exchange rates

Fiscal Policy The government’s attempt to influence the economy by setting and changing taxes, its purchases of goods and services (that is, government spending), and transfer payments to achieve macroeconomic objectives such as full employment, sustained long-term economics growth, and low inflation.

In the following discussion we assume a horizontal (Keynesian) segment of the SRAS curve.

Price Level Real Domestic Output, GDP Q P SRAS AD 2 Increasing Demand in the Horizontal Range Q1Q1 Q2Q2 P1P1 AD 1

Price Level Real Domestic Output, GDP SRAS AD 1 Decreasing Demand in the Horizontal Range Q2Q2 Q1Q1 P1P1 AD 2

Fiscal Policy Tools: Government Spending

AD =GDP= C+I+G+(X-M) 5.6 tril. = 3 tril.+1 tril tril tril. We would like to increase real GDP to 6 tril. In order to increase AD, the government may increase its spending. The question is: By how much?

Disposable Income Disposable income is the income earned from the supply of productive services - wages, interest, rent, and profit - PLUS transfer payments from the government MINUS taxes

Marginal Propensity to Consume The extent to which a change in disposable income changes consumption expenditure depends on the marginal propensity to consume The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the fraction of a change in disposable income that is consumed

Marginal Propensity to Consume The marginal propensity to consume is calculated as the change in consumption expenditure divided by the change in disposable income:

Marginal Propensity to Save The extent to which a change in disposable income changes saving depends on the marginal propensity to save The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the fraction of a change in disposable income that is saved

Marginal Propensities to Save The marginal propensity to save is calculated as the change in saving divided by the change in disposable income:

Marginal Propensities to Consume and Save The marginal propensity to consume plus the marginal propensity to save sum to 1: MPC + MPS = 1

MPC and MPS MPS =.25 MPC =.75 IN GOD WE TRUST IN GOD WE TRUST IN GOD WE TRUST IN GOD WE TRUST

Multiplier Effects Each dollar spent is re-spent several times. As a result, every dollar has a multiplied impact on aggregate expenditure.

The Multiplier Process at Work

The Multiplier The multiplier is the multiple by which an initial change in aggregate spending will alter total expenditure after an infinite number of spending cycles.

The Government Expenditure Multiplier The G Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC) If MPC = 0.75, The G Multiplier = 1/(1-0.75) = 4.

The Ultimate Effect The ultimate change in AD after an infinite number of spending cycles = The G multiplier * The initial change in government spending = 4 * 100 bil. = 400 bil. (that is, 0.4 tril.) The new eqm GDP = the old eqm GDP + the ultimate change in AD = 5.6 tril tril. = 6.0 tril.

Q1Q1 QFQF P1P AD 2 AD 3 Current price level Direct impact of rise in government spending + $100 billion AD 1 ab REAL GDP ($ trillions per year) PRICE LEVEL (average price) Indirect impact via increased consumption + $300 billion Multiplier Effects LRAS SRAS

Fiscal Policy Tools: Taxes

A numerical example (cont.) Rather than increasing its own spending, government can cut taxes to increase consumption or investment spending.

The Lump-Sum Tax Multiplier The T Multiplier = -MPC/(1-MPC) If MPC = 0.75, The T Multiplier = -0.75/(1-0.75) = -3.

The new eqm GDP = the old eqm GDP + the ultimate change in AD; 5.6 tril. + the ultimate change in AD = 6.0 tril.; The ultimate change in AD = = 0.4 tril. (that is, 400 bil.).

The ultimate change in AD = The T multiplier * The initial change in taxes; +400 bil. = -3 * the initial change in T; The init. change in T = 400/(-3) = bil.; That is, the government should decrease taxes by bil.

Multiplier and Price Level

Inflation Worries Whenever the aggregate supply curve is upward sloping an increase in aggregate demand increases prices as well as output. Whenever the aggregate supply curve is vertical an increase in aggregate demand increases prices but has no impact on output.

Fiscal Guidelines The fiscal strategy for attaining the goal of full employment is to shift the aggregate demand curve

Fiscal Guidelines Problem: insufficient demand Solution: increase AD Methods: –increase government spending, –cut taxes, –increase transfer payments. Problem: excess demand Solution: decrease AD Methods: –decrease government spending, –raise taxes, –decrease transfer payments.

Government Budget

Governments: –collect taxes, T –spend G on goods and services –Budget deficit: if G > T –Budget surplus: if G < T

Unbalanced Budgets The use of fiscal policy to manage aggregate demand implies that the budget will often be unbalanced.

Budget Deficit Budget deficit: if G > T The government borrows money to pay for deficit spending.

Budget Deficit The federal government ran significant budget deficits between 1970 and The deficit peaked at nearly $300 billion in 1992.

Budget Surplus Budget surplus: if G < T By 1998, a combination of growing tax revenues and slower government spending created a budget surplus.

Unbalanced Budgets In Keynes’ view, an unbalanced budget is perfectly appropriate if macro conditions call for a deficit or surplus.
