c
useless if they are simple.
d
made generally of wood, plastic, and/or metal.
Answer:
Correct option: B] often useful in forming economic policy
An economic model is a simplified version of reality that allows us to observe, understand, and make predictions about economic behavior. Economic models are often useful in forming economic policy.

1. Economic models The following diagram presents a circular-flow model of a simple economy. The outer set of arrows (shown in green) shows the flow of dollars, and the Inner set of arrows (shown in red) shows the corresponding flow of inputs and outputs. Markets for Goods and Services Firms Households Markets for Factors of Production Which of the following is true regarding this economic model? While simple, the circular-flow diagram can still be useful for the purposes of modeling...
The following diagram presents
a circular-flow model of a simple economy. The outer set of arrows
(shown in green) shows the flow of dollars, and the inner set of
arrows (shown in red) shows the corresponding flow of inputs and
outputs.
Which of the following is true regarding this economic
model?
A) While simple, the circular-flow diagram can still be useful
for the purposes of modeling how dollars and resources move
throughout an economy.
B) Because it does not take...

(3) Contiguous states often use tax policy to attract residents, firms, and economic activity. These "tax competitions" between states can be modeled with game theory. Suppose New Jersey currently has a state sales tax of 7 percent and Pennsylvania has a state sales tax of 6 percent. The game shown below models the effect of a reduction in each state's sales tax rate to 3 percent on each state's sales tax revenue. Assume the motivation of each state is to...
