Document Summary

Demand for domestic good form within the country. Positive slope but less than one: some of the extra income is saved for future consumption: subtract imports: yields the aa line. For different levels of domestic output (for different points on the horizontal axis) the vertical difference between dd and aa is imports: note that while domestic output increases, this vertical distance becomes larger: The level of domestic output such that nx- o is ytb. For y< ytb nx > 0 (trade surplus) and for y>ytb nx < 0 (trade deficit) Yes, by assumption: tb (x(y*, e) eq(y,e) As y increases, q increases while x remains constant. Net exports: the difference between exports and imports: Net exports are decreasing function of output. Nx = 0 or 0= x(y*,e) eq(y,e)

An economy with zero net exports is described below:

C	= 100 + 0.6 (Y 'T)
I ^p	= 70
G	= 120
NX	= 0
T	= 150
The multiplier in this economy is 2.5.

A. Find short-run equilibrium output.

Instruction: Enter your response as an integer value.

Short-run equilibrium output: .

B. Economic recovery abroad increases the demand for the country's exports; as a result, NX rises to 80.

Instruction: Enter your response as an integer value.

Short-run equilibrium output (Click to select)decreases/ increases to ________ .

C. Assume that foreign economies are slowing, reducing the demand for the country's exports so that NX = -80. (A negative value of net exports means that exports are less than imports.)

Instruction: Enter your response as an integer value.

Short-run equilibrium output (Click to select)increases/decreases to ___________ .

D. Which of the following best describes the tendency of recessions and expansions to spread across countries?

1. Lower planned aggregate spending in one nation will reduce the amount of goods it exports abroad, thereby lowering the value of imports for its trading partners, which will reduce its short-term equilibrium output as well.

2. Lower planned aggregate spending abroad means that fewer goods will be exported from a specific nation, leaving more goods available for domestic consumption (C) in that nation, which will increase its short-term equilibrium output.

3. Lower planned aggregate spending abroad will reduce the amount of investment that flows into domestic industries from other countries, thereby reducing domestic short-term equilibrium output.

4. Lower planned aggregate spending in a nation means fewer imports of foreign goods, thereby reducing the short-term equilibrium output of its trading partners through lower net export (NX) values in those nations.

5. Saving and net flows of capital and goods In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis. Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C = consumption, I = investment, G = government purchases, X = exports, M = imports, and NX = net exports: Y = Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for . Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: S = Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = . Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship: S = This is equivalent to S = , since net exports must equal net capital outflow (NCO, also known as net foreign investment). Now suppose that a country is experiencing balanced trade. Determine the relationships between the entries in the following table, and enter these relationships using the following symbols: > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to). Outcomes of Balanced Trade Imports Exports 0 Net Exports Y C+I+G Investment Saving Net Capital Outflow 0

In the AD-AS model, stagflation does not persist, because the working of the self-correcting mechanism of the economy _____ the level of output and _____ the price level until the economy eventually returns to a long-run equilibrium state, where actual output _____ potential output.

	decreases; decreases; falls short of
	increases; decreases; equals
	decreases; increases; exceeds
	decreases; increases; equals
	increases; decreases; exceeds

The LRAS curve is drawn as a vertical line at potential output (Y*) to indicate that

	Y* is independent of the price level and that actual output Y > Y* in the long run
	Y* equals actual output (Y) in the long run
	Y* is independent of the price level and that actual output Y = Y* in the long run
	Y* is independent of the price level
	Y* is independent of the price level and that actual output Y < Y* in the long run

Stagflation arises in the context of the AD-AS model when some external factor causes

	the LRAS curve to shift to the right
	the AD curve to shift leftwards
	the SRAS curve to shift downwards
	the SRAS curve to shift upwards
	the AD curve to shift rightwards

If the SRAS curve is positively sloped, then a decrease in the demand for Canadian-made goods in Europe will lead to _____ in the price level, in the short run.

	either an increase or a decrease
	no change
	an increase
	a decrease
	an initial increase, and then a decrease

Which of the following will shift the aggregate demand curve to the right?

	Consumers become pessimistic about the future
	A new technology is developed that will increase profits
	Income taxes are raised
	Foreign economies fall into recession, reducing their demand for domestic exports
	The government reduces purchases to balance the budget

Suppose a stock market crash decreases the stock of household wealth and therefore causes autonomous consumption to fall. Which of the following is the likely result?

	A leftward shift the AD curve
	There will be no movement of the AD curve
	A movement down the AD curve
	A movement up the AD curve
	A rightward of the shift the AD curve

An economy is characterized by the AD equation P = 200 ? 0.02Y, SRAS equation P = 100 and LRAS equation Y* = 5000. In the absence of any change in policy or exogenous shocks, this economy will achieve a long-run price level of

	100
	110
	120
	90
	105

The AD-AS model depicts a self-correcting economy. This means that the price level in the model adjusts automatically in response to a(n) _____ gap, so as to eliminate the _____ gap in the long run, without requiring any help from government policies.

	recessionary; recessionary
	recessionary; expansionary
	expansionary; expansionary
	output; output
	expansionary; recessionary

The aggregate demand curve shows

	the amount of planned aggregate expenditure (and output) at the current price level
	the amount of planned aggregate expenditure (and output) at an average price level
	the amount of planned aggregate expenditure (and output) at a constant price level
	the amount of planned aggregate expenditure (and output) at various price levels
	the amount of planned aggregate expenditure (and output) at last year's price level

Consider an economy initially at long-run equilibrium with output (Y) equal to potential output (Y*). If the SRAS is positively sloped, then a shift to the right of the AD curve will lead to _____ in the price level, in the short run. In the long run, the SRAS curve will shift to the _____ and the equilibrium will be at __________.

	an increase; left; Y = Y*
	a decrease; right; Y > Y*
	an increase; right; Y = Y*
	a decrease; left; Y > Y*
	no change; left; Y = Y*
