Basic Economic System Production =100 Consumption = 100
Year 1: Investment = 20 Production =100 Consumption = 80
Year 2: Eco. Growth = 5.0% Investment = 22 Production = 105 + 2 Consumption = 83 + 3
Year 1: - 5 Investment = 15 Production= 100 Taxes = 30 Consumption= 55 - 25
Scenario 1: All Taxes are Invested Investment=15 = 45 Production= 100 + 30 Taxes = 30 Consumption= 55
Year 2: Eco. Growth = 10.0% Investment=18 Production = 110 + 3 Taxes = 30 Consumption= 62 + 7
Economic Growth Scenario 1
Scenario 2: All Taxes go to Expenditure Investment=15 = 25 Production = 100 + 10 Taxes = 30 + 30 Consumption= 55 + 20 = 75
Year 2: Eco. Growth = 7.0% Investment=17 Production= 107 + 2 Taxes =30 Consumption= 60 + 5
Economic Growth Scenario 1 Scenario 2
Scenario 3: Efficiency Loss Investment=15 Production= 100 + 7 = 22 Taxes = 30 !Efficiency Loss! + 30 + 25 Consumption= 55 + 18 = 73
Year 2: Eco. Growth = 6.0% Investment = 17. Production= 106.0 + 2 Taxes =30 Consumption= 59 + 4
