Given the current trends in pay disparity, do you think laws should be enacted that limit the amount of CEO compensation to align with the average pay of the organizations’ employees? For example, CEOs could only make up to 40x that of the average employee? Why or Why don’t you think this is a good idea?

In 2001, President George W. Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan were both concerned about a sluggish U.S. economy. They also were concerned about the large U.S. current account deficit. To help stimulate the economy, President Bush proposed a tax cut, while the Fed had been increasing U.S. money supply. Compare the effects of these two policies in terms of their implications for the current account. If policy makers are concerned about the current account deficit, discuss whether stimulatory fiscal policy or monetary policy makes more sense in this case. Then, reconsider similar issues for 2009–10, when the economy was in a deep slump, the Fed had taken interest rates to zero, and the Obama administration was arguing for larger fiscal stimulus. Why might many believe that the Fed should keep interest rates at near zero levels in 2016 and beyond as growth remains stagnant?

Assume that GDP (Y) is 10,000. Consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 500 + 0.8(Y – T). Investment (I) is given by the equation I = 2,000 – 50r, where r is the real rate of interest in percent. Taxes (T) are 500 and government spending (G) is also 500. a. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? (Show your work) (4.5 marks) b. What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving? (Show your work) (1.5 marks) c. If government spending rises to 1,000, what are the new equilibrium values of C, I, and r?
