Monetarists and classical economists:
| a. |
assume that the economy operates at full employment and stimulative monetary policy will increase both aggregate supply and aggregate demand. |
|
| b. |
assume the economy operates at full employment and stimulative monetary policy will only cause the price level to rise. |
|
| c. |
assume that stimulative monetary policy will create high levels of GDP without inflation. |
|
| d. |
assume that stimulative monetary policy will create high levels of GDP and slightly high prices. |
Option B is correct
Both views aur of the opinion that economy always operates at the full employment level and if there is a difficult it is only temporary. If an attempt is made to change the level of GDP by increasing the money supply, it will result in increasing the price level because the aggregate supply is vertical and all the increase in money supply will cause inflation.

For each macroeconomic viewpoint, identify whether it is a position held by classical economists, Keynesian economists, or monetarists. If the viewpoint is shared by more than one group, check all that apply. Viewpoints Expansionary fiscal policy is either an unnecessary or ineffective response to a situation where output is below full employment. A decrease in aggregate demand will lead to only a temporary departure from full employment output. Because prices and wages are flexible, the economy will automatically adjust to...
During a recession, economists traditionally focus on monetary and fiscal policies to bolster the economy. a. Use the aggregate demand - aggregate supply (AD-AS) model in Panel A to show the effect of a tax cut, in the form of a tax rebate, given to each taxpayer. If inflation is high during a recession, some economists advocate cuts on marginal tax rates, to help avoid additional inflation. b. Use the AD-AS model in Panel B to show the effect of...
1. If the economy is at full employment, increases in government spending: A) have a multiplier effect on equilibrium output. B) have no effect on the aggregate price level. C) are primarily absorbed by price increases. D) reduce aggregate output. 2. Which of the following measures is NOT an example of discretionary fiscal policy? A) The unemployment compensation program pays out more money as unemployment rates rise. B) Tax rates are increased in the hope of slowing down the rate...
The graph shows an economy below full employment. To restore full employment, the government increases government expenditure by $0.5 trillion. Draw a curve to show the effect of the increase if it is the only change in spending plans. Label the curve ADo AE Price level (GDP price index, 2009-100) Potential GDP The increase in government expenditure sets off a multiplier process. Draw a curve that shows the multiplier effect that returns the economy to full employment. Label it AD,...
Question 28 (3 points) Suppose the economy currently is in a recessionary gap. The Fed engages in expansionary monetary policy. The impact of expansionary monetary policy will be to increase short-run aggregate supply, decrease prices, and increase real GDP increase aggregate demand, increase prices, and increase real GDP increase aggregate demand, increase prices, and decrease real GDP increase short-run aggregate supply, decrease in prices, and decrease in real GDP
Question 2 (3 points) Suppose the economy currently is in a recessionary gap. The Fed engages in expansionary monetary policy. The impact of expansionary monetary policy will be to increase aggregate demand, increase prices, and increase real GDP - increase aggregate demand, increase prices, and decrease real GDP increase short-run aggregate supply, decrease in prices, and decrease in real GDP o increase short-run aggregate supply, decrease prices, and increase real GDP Page 2 of 30 Previous Page Next Page
(6) Imagine that the economy is in a recession. Which one of the following tactics is a way to increase output by shifting aggregate demand outward? Raising taxes to increase the government surplus Increasing government spending Increasing the required reserve ratio Imposing tariffs on foreign goods (7) In the short run, supply shocks cause prices to __________ and the quantity demanded to __________. increase; increase increase; decrease decrease; increase decrease; decrease (8) Good deflation...
Which of the following explain how classical economists argued that Say's law holds? Check all that apply. Although there may be temporary unemployment caused by short periods in which wages and prices adjust, in the long run, aggregate production creates aggregate income that, in turn, allows people to purchase the goods and services being produced. Demand can be forever inadequate for an economy to reach full employment. Markets eliminate persistent shortages and surpluses. Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue...
The graph shows an economy that is above full employment. To restore full employment, the government decreases government expenditure by $0.5 trillion. Draw a curve to show the effect of the decrease if this is the only change in spending plans. Label the curve AD0-ΔE The decrease in government expenditure sets off a multiplier process. Draw a curve that shows the multiplier effect that returns the economy to full employment. Label it AD Draw a point at the full-employment equilibrium...
1. Consider an economy at full employment. If consumers and firms become less optimistic about the future economy then a) price levels will rise. b) output will rise. c) unemployment will rise. 2. A ________ in an AD/AS diagram could explain a decrease in cyclical unemployment. a) shift in AS to the left b) shift in AD to the right c) shift in AS to the right 3. An AD/AS model showing equilibrium in the steep section of the aggregate...
