A: If the government increased spending by $10 billion the GDP could surpass a mark of just $10 billion because of the multiplier effect. Initially the GDP would only show the increase of $10 billion but as time moves on one would begin to see the effects of the multiplier which is “the ratio of the initial shift in the aggregate demand to the initial shift in the aggregate demand” (O 'Sullivan, 192). This theory by John Maynard Keynes supports the idea that when the government increases spending output will act similarly and also increase creating a domino effect that will help to exceed initial monetary…

In order to close this gap, the government usually increases spending which increases money supply in the economy and also aggregate demand (this is based on the argument that increased government spending increases demand in the economy). The government might decide to cut taxes which will yield similar result. For instance, when the government cut taxes, it allows citizens to have more money to spend.…
