Suppose an economy has been having very high inflation. The central bank has decided to decrease the money supply in hopes of decreasing GDP (the thinking is that by decreasing GDP, it will lead to lower inflation – no need to make that connection, just focus on the goal of decreasing GDP). Using the complete Keynesian model, explain in as much detail as possible what will likely happen to the economy (including GDP, the interest rate, investment spending, any multiplier effects). Finally, under what conditions would GDP be more effected (e.g., high or low mpc, steep or flat money demand, steep or flat investment schedule)?

Suppose a government has been running large government deficits. In order to address these deficits, the government has decided to decrease its spending (G) and raise taxes (T).

Finally, under what conditions would GDP be less effected (e.g., high or low mpc, steep or flat money demand, steep or flat investment schedule)?
