Answer:
Therefore, Increases in the tax rate decrease the government purchases multiplier
Explanation:
Given that
MPC = 0.8
Tax rate t = 0.25
tax rate is increases by 35%
Government purchases multiplier
= 1 ÷ 1 - MPC × (1 - t). Here
So, GPM = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.8 × (1 - 0.25) = 2.5
Government purchases multiplier
= 1 ÷ 1 - MPC × (1 - t)
MPC = 0.8
tax rate t = 0.35
GPM = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.8 × (1 - 0.35)
= 2.08333
= 2.083
Therefore, Increases in the tax rate decrease the government purchases multiplier.
