This assignment requires your knowledge of how economic activity affects the federal budget. Suppose that the federal budget is balanced when GDP is at potential GDP. If equilibrium GDP falls below potential, explain how and why government transfer payments would change; how and why tax receipts would change; and how and why the budget would change. You will be assessed on whether you discuss how transfer payments change, how tax receipts change, and how the budget changes, and on clear, organized writing with correct APA format.
