Fiscal Policy
• Fiscal policy: the setting of the level of government spending and
➢Tax system
➢Inside lag: the time between a shock to the economy and the policy
action responding to that shock.
➢Outside lag: the time between a policy action and its influence on the
economy.

a. Calculate the equilibrium output. How is the current government budget?
b. Suppose government purchases are increased by 10. Calculate the new equilibrium
output. How much more tax does the government collect?
c. From the above result, to achieve potential output, how should the fiscal policy be
implemented in each situation below:
i. Only G is used
ii. Only T is used
