1. The French Government runs a budget deficit and finances it
by borrowing $20 billion. Use the loanable fund model to show the
decline in public savings and decline in investments (crowding
out).
When the government runs a budget deficit,a. national saving is higher than it would be if the budget were
balanced.b. investment is lower than it would be if the budget were
balanced.c. interest rates are lower than they would be if the budget were
balanced.d. All of the above are correct.e. None of the above is correct.
1. What is the link between the budget deficit and the trade

When the Government runs a budget deficit, it must sell Treasury
bonds to finance that
deficit. To analyze the impact of increased government spending,
assume the Treasury will
be selling new 1-year Treasury bills. Use a supply and demand
for bonds model to
determine what is likely to happen to interest rates on 1-year
bills. (Explain your graph)
Suppose a government has a deficit, and the government finances
its deficit by issuing bonds.
a. Do you think that it may have any impact on the Monetary Base
of the economy? Explain your answer.
b. Do you think it may have an impact on inflation? Unde r what
condition? Explain it.
Suppose, the government of Australia incurs a budget deficit of
$50 billion due to increased government spending in 2020 as result
of Covid 19. Because of this, the government borrowing in 2021
increases by the same amount.
a) Show this development using a graph representing the market
for loanable funds for Australia . Explain in writing the effect of
this on interest rates.
b) Compare the size of equilibrium changes in 1) investment, 2)
public saving, 3) private saving and...

14. When the federal government runs a budget surplus rather
than a deficit, how will the public’s bond holdings and the supply
of money be affected?
To reduce the budget deficit, the government creates new unit
taxes that generate $3 billion in revenue. How will this affect
total surplus (i.e., consumer surplus + producer surplus)? a. Total
surplus will be unaffected b. Total surplus will fall by less than
$3 billion c. Total surplus will fall by $3 billion d. Total
surplus will fall by more than $3 billion
