Document Summary

Practice problems (macroeconomic equilibrium and phillips curves: refer to figure 12-3. Suppose the economy is at point c. if government spending decreases in the economy, where will the eventual long-run equilibrium be: a, b, c, d. Recessionary gap: transition to the long run: suppose that the economy is initially in long-run equilibrium, and then the fed lowers interest rates. As a result, real gdp will ___ in the short run, and ___ in the long run: decrease; decrease further, decrease; increase to its initial level. Increase; decrease to its initial value: increase; increases further. Dynamics of a negative supply shock: refer to figure 17-4. Consider the phillips curves shown in the above graph. Consider the shift in the short-run phillips curves shown in the above graph. Initially, expected & actual inflation = 3%, unemployment = natural rate (5%): govt. policy shifts ad right, makes inflation 3% higher than expected, u-rate falls to 4%.

1) If actual (equilibrium ) real GDP is less than the full-employment, or natural, level of real GDP, then wages and other input prices are expected to:

a. fall and SRAS to shift to the left until long-run equilibrium is achieved.

b. fall and SRAS to shift to the right until long-run equilibrium is achieved.

c. rise and SRAS to shift to the left until long-run equilibrium is achieved.

d. rise and SRAS to shift to the right until long-run equilibrium is achieved.

2) In a self-regulating economy, inflationary gaps are automatically eliminated in the long run by:

b. decreases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift leftward.

c. increases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift rightward.

d. increases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift leftward.

3) Assume the economy is initially in equilibrium at the full-employment level of real GDP. If businesses and consumers become pessimistic regarding future economic conditions, ceteris paribus, the aggregate demand curve will shift to the ________, causing the level of output to ______.

a. left; fall

b. right; fall

c. left; rise

d. right; rise

4) Economists that advocate a macroeconomic policy of laissez-faire:

c. also advocate central planning and government control of resources.

d. also advocate active government intervention in the economy.

5) Which of the following summarizes the process for closing a recessionary gap if the economy is self-regulating?

a. Labor shortages put upward pressure on wages, which leads to higher costs of production and a decrease in short-run aggregate supply.

b. Labor shortages put downward pressure on wages, which leads to increases in employment and spending and an increase in aggregate demand.

c. Unemployed resources put upward pressure on the price level, which leads to higher wages, increases in spending, and increases in aggregate demand.

d. Unemployed resources put downward pressure on the price level, which leads to lower costs of production and an increase in short-run aggregate supply.
