6. (Problem 6) An economy is facing the inflationary gap shown in the accompanying diagram. Aggregate price level LRAS SRAS Real GDP Potential —YpY output To eliminate the gap, should the central bank use expansionary or contractionary monetary policy? How will the interest rate, investment spending, consumer spending, real GDP, and the aggregate price level change as monetary policy closes the inflationary gap? The central bank can use contractionary monetary policy. The interest rate will rise, which would encourage a...

2. Which of the following statements about aggregate demand is (are) correct? (x) The wealth effect helps explain the slope of the aggregate demand curve. This effect is relatively unimportant in the United States because money holdings are a small part of consumer wealth.

The interest-rate effect is the most important reason, in the case of the United States,...
