To achieve long-run equilibrium in an economy with a recessionary gap, without the use of stabilization policy, the inflation rate must:
A. not change. B. increase. C. decrease. D. either increase or decrease depending on the relative shifts of AD and AS.
Refer to the above table. You have a choice among four alternatives. Choice A lets you invest $250,000 at 4 percent; B lets you invest $125,000 at 6 percent; C lets you invest $62,500 at 8 percent, and D lets you invest $31,250 at 10 percent
Which choice will get you to $1 million faster? A) A B) B C) C D) D
In the above figure, starting at E1, if there is a supply shock that is temporary, the
A) aggregate supply would shift to SRAS1 and LRAS0 would shift to LRAS1. B) aggregate supply would shift to SRAS2 and LRAS0 would shift to LRAS1. C) aggregate supply would shift to SRAS1 and then return to SRAS0. D) aggregate supply would shift to SRAS0 and LRAS1 would shift to LRAS0.
In the above figure, start with the economy in equilibrium at point A. Then an unanticipated reduction in aggregate demand triggers a shift from AD1 to AD2. In the short run, this would cause
A) the price level to move from P1 to P2, but real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would stay at Y1. B) the price level to fall from P1 to P2, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to fall from Y1 to Y2, and the rate of unemployment to increase. C) the price level to fall by some amount less than P1 but greater than P2, and the rate of unemployment would decrease. D) no change in either the price level or real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but a decrease in unemployment.
