Balanced budget versus automatic stabilizers It is often argued that a balanced budget amendment would actually be destabilizing. To understand this argument, consider the economy in Problem 5.

a. Solve for equilibrium output.

b. Solve for taxes in equilibrium. Suppose that the government starts with a balanced budget and that there is a drop in c0.

c. What happens to Y? What happens to taxes?

d. Suppose that the government cuts spending in order to keep the budget balanced. What will be the effect on Y? Does the cut in spending required to balance the budget counteract or reinforce the effect of the drop in c0 on output? (Don’t do the algebra. Use your intuition and give the answer in words.)

Problem 5

Automatic stabilizers

So far in this chapter, we have assumed that the fiscal policy variables G and T are independent of the level of income. In the real world, however, this is not the case. Taxes typically depend on the level of income and so tend to be higher when income is higher. In this problem, we examine how this automatic response of taxes can help reduce the impact of changes in autonomous spending on output. Consider the following behavioral equations:

G and I are both constant. Assume that t1 is between 0 and 1.

a. Solve for equilibrium output.

b. What is the multiplier? Does the economy respond more to changes in autonomous spending when t1 is 0 or when t1 is positive? Explain.

c. Why is fiscal policy in this case called an automatic stabilizer?
