Answer to Question 1

If Ricardian equivalence holds, the tax multiplier is zero. The expenditure multiplier is zero, as well, since the decrease in government saving is matched by an increase in private saving. If, however, the increase in government spending is believed to contribute to future output, the expenditure multiplier may be greater than zero, and some private investment would be crowded out.
