answer
(Consider This) The ratchet effect is the tendency of:
question
why the aggregate demand curve is downsloping.
answer
The real-balances, interest-rate, and foreign purchases effects all help explain:
question
moves the economy along a fixed aggregate demand curve.
answer
The foreign purchases effect:
question
move from point a to point b in panel (B).
answer
Other things equal, a decline in investment spending caused by the interest-rate effect of a price-level increase is depicted by the:
question
increase real output by more than the price level.
answer
A rightward shift of the AD curve in the very flat part of the short-run AS curve will:
question
the level of aggregate expenditures and therefore the level of real GDP vary inversely with the price level.
answer
The aggregate expenditures model and the aggregate demand curve can be reconciled because, other things equal, in the aggregate expenditures model:
question
increase the price level by more than real output.
answer
A rightward shift of the AD curve in the very steep upper part of the short-run AS curve will:
question
movement downward along a fixed aggregate demand curve.
answer
An increase in aggregate expenditures resulting from a decrease in the price level is equivalent to a:
question
aggregate demand curve would shift to the right.
answer
Other things equal, if the national incomes of the major trading partners of the United States were to rise, the U.S.:
question
shows the amount of real output that will be purchased at each possible price level.
answer
The aggregate demand curve:
question
right by a multiple of the change in investment.
answer
An increase in net exports will shift the AD curve to the:
question
increase both the price level and real output.
answer
Given a fixed upsloping AS curve, a rightward shift of the AD curve will:
question
an increase in the price level
answer
Which of the following would not shift the aggregate supply curve?
question
per-unit production costs rise as the economy moves toward and beyond its full-employment real output.
answer
The aggregate supply curve (short run) is upsloping because:
question
shift the aggregate supply curve to the right.
answer
Other things equal, an improvement in productivity will:
question
the price level is inflexible downward and a recession has occurred.
answer
If aggregate demand decreases, and as a result, real output and employment decline but the price level remains unchanged, it is most likely that:
question
Aggregate supply decreases and aggregate demand increases.
answer
In which of the following sets of circumstances can we confidently expect inflation?
question
decreases aggregate demand in the United States and may increase aggregate supply by reducing the prices of imported resources.
answer
Other things equal, appreciation of the dollar:
question
eventually rise and fall to match upward or downward changes in the price level.
answer
The economy's long-run AS curve assumes that wages and other resource prices:
question
an increase (decrease) in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule downward (upward).
answer
In deriving the aggregate demand curve from the aggregate expenditures model, we note t
question
total input cost divided by units of output.
answer
Per-unit production cost is:
question
a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve in the AD-AS model.
answer
An increase in aggregate expenditures resulting from some factor other than a change in the price level is equivalent to:
question
reduce the equilibrium price level, assuming downward flexible prices.
answer
An increase in input productivity will:
question
flexible upward, but inflexible downward.
answer
Prices and wages tend to be:
question
determinants of aggregate demand
answer
The factors that affect the amounts that consumers, businesses, government, and foreigners wish to purchase at each price level are the:
question
might not be possible due to minimum wage law
answer
When aggregate demand declines, some firms may reduce employment rather than wages because wage reductions may:
question
total output depends on the volume of spending.
answer
The shape of the immediate-short-run aggregate supply curve implies that:
question
the ratchet effect
answer
(Consider This) The idea that the price level readily moves upward but not downward is called the:
question
aggregate demand to decrease and aggregate supply to increase
answer
If the dollar price of foreign currencies falls (that is, the dollar appreciates), we would expect:
question
a higher price level will decrease the real value of many financial assets and therefore reduce spending.
answer
the real-balance effect indicates that
question
is steeper above the full-employment output than below it.
answer
The aggregate supply curve (short run):
