Document Summary

There are 40 true-false questions worth 100 marks. Bubble a if all parts are true and bubble b if all or some parts are false. Consider a small open economy macro model under flexible exchange rate. Check the effects of lower taxes and lower world interest rate. e. Consider a small open economy macro model under fixed exchange rate. Assume that both sg and nx are zero at the initial equilibrium. Check the effects of lower taxes and lower world interest rate. Lower cash-balance fraction due to improved atm system will shift the lm* curve to the right. As a result, m will decrease, but both nx and y will remain unchanged in a small open economy with fixed exchange rate system. Consider a closed economy macro model with a consumption function of. C = 100 + 0. 8yd, where the autonomous consumption is 100. With an increase in autonomous consumption, the is curve will shift to the right.

Y = (C + I + G + NX) <-Income Identity

C = 300*0.8YD<-Consumption

I = 200-1500r <-investment

NX = 100-0.04Y-500r <-net exports

M^d = (0.5Y-2000r) <-Money Demand

G = 1200

t (tax rate) = 0.2

Money Supply (M^s) = $500

The long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) is Y = Yf, which depends on the amounts of resources and the level of technology innovation. If a country has more resources and better technology, which of the following is true?

		A. The LRAS curve will shift to the right.
		B. The SRAS will shift to the right.
		C. The SRAS will shift to the left.
		D. Only A and B.
		E. Only A and C.

Suppose the wage rates of workers are based on the expected price level. If there is an unexpected increase in AD, it will cause the actual price level to increase. Then workers should raise their expected price level and negotiate a higher wage rate. Then which of the following is most likely to be true when the expected price increases?

		A. The SRAS curve will shift rightward.
		B. The SRAS curve will shift leftward.
		C. The LRAS curve will shift leftward.
		D. Only A and C.
		E. Only B and C.

Suppose the economy is in the long-run equilibrium, i.e., Y = Yf, and there is an unexpected decrease in AD. Assume that Yf is fixed, then which of the following is most likely to be true?

		A. The SRAS curve will shift to the right toward the new long-run equilibrium.
		B. The SRAS curve will shift to the left toward the new long-run equilibrium.
		C. In the new long-run equilibrium, price level will be higher.
		D. Only A and C.
		E. Only B and C.

13.

The short-run (SR) equilibrium is the intersection between AD and SRAS, and long-run (LR) equilibrium is the intersection between AD and LRAS. Every LR equilibrium is a SR equilibrium, but a SR equilibrium is not always the LR equilibrium. If an economy is operating at a SR equilibrium where Y > Yf, which of the following will occur in the process toward the new LR equilibrium when the economy corrects itself?

		A. Price increases.
		B. Real GDP decreases.
		C. Unemployment rate falls.
		D. Only A and B.
		E. Only B and C.

From the Keynesians, Y = C + I + G + NX can be transformed into a theoretical model. In particular, assume that the consumption C = A + mpc (Y-T), where A is a constant, mpc is the marginal propensity to consume, Y is national income and T is income taxes. Suppose in the goods market equilibrium, aggregate expenditure = national income such that the two Y's will be the same from Y = A + mpc (Y-T) + I + G+ NX. . Suppose C = 400 + 0.75(Y â T). G = 100, I = 100, T = 100, and NX = 150, what is the Y in the goods market equilibrium? (All of the variables are in terms of million dollars)

Continue to assume that C = 400 + 0.75 (Y - 100), I = 100, and NX = 150. But the government now increases spending from 100 to 200, how much is the new Y in the goods market equilibrium?

16.

Continue to assume that C = 400 + 0.75 (Y - 100). Then which of the following is true?

		A. The government spending multiplier = 4.
		B. The tax multiplier = 3.
		C. If the government increases spending by $50 million, and at the same time increases taxes by $50 milion to balance the budget, AD will shift to the right by $50 million.
		D. Only A and C.
		E. Only B and C.

17.

Suppose the federal government needs to balance the budget, which means that when the government spending increases, taxes must increase equally. In this case, government spending multiplier is called the balanced-budget multiplier, defined as the increase in real GDP/increase in government spending. By following the example from the previous question, how mcuh is the balanced-budget multiplier?
