For the following economy, find autonomous expenditure, the multiplier, short-run equilibrium output, and the output gap. By how much would autonomous expenditure have to change to eliminate the output gap?
C = 4,000 + 0.75 (Y − T )
Ip = 2,000
G = 3,500
NX = 100
T = 3,000
Y* = 29,000
Instructions: Enter your responses as whole numbers.
Autonomous expenditure:
5600
Multiplier:
4
Short-run equilibrium output:
29000
Output gap:
0
Autonomous expenditure would need to
decrease
by
.5
to eliminate the output gap.
