Consider two economies,A and B.Economy A has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9,a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2.Economy B has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.7,a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2.Suppose there is an increase in autonomous investment of $5 billion in each of these economies.Which of the following statements is true?
