c. If the Federal Reserve wanted to stabilize the economy while at the SR equilibrium what policy would they need to conduct? Show this graphically and calculate how large of a policy they would need to conduct.

d. If the Government wanted to stabilize the economy while at the SR equilibrium what three policies could they conduct? Show this graphically and calculate how large of each of the policies would need to be.

Question 37 1 pts

A leftward shift of the AS curve:

Group of answer choices

would increase output supplied at all price levels.

could be caused by an increase in the overall price level.

would result in both a higher price level and a lower level of output

could be caused by a decrease in input prices (a positive supply shock).

Question 40 1 pts

Which of the following is not a tool of fiscal policy?

Group of answer choices

taxes

the money supply (more specifically, interest rates).

government purchases

unemployment insurance

All are "tools of fiscal policy."

Question 31 1 pts

The Pigou-Wealth effect indicates that

Group of answer choices

a lower price level will increase the real value of financial assets and therefore increase spending.

a decrease in the overall price level would shift the AD curve leftward

a higher price level will increase the real value of financial assets and therefore increase spending

an increase in the overall price level would shift the AD curve leftward

Question 32 1 pts

The Keynes-Interest Rate effect suggests that

Group of answer choices

a lower price level might lead to a reduction in the demand for money resulting in a fall in the rate of interest, the result will be a movement down the AD curve.

lower prices and, therefore lower interest rates would cause the AD curve to shift left.

higher prices and, therefore higher interest rates would cause the AD curve to shift.

the above scenario- lower prices, lower interest rates- would result in a movement up the AD curve.

Question 33 1 pts

Which one of the following would not shift the AD curve?

Group of answer choices

a change in government expenditures (G).

a change in household expectations about employment/income

a decline in the price level.

a change in interest rates

Question 34 1 pts

The (short-run) aggregate supply (AS) curve:

Group of answer choices

is down sloping because real purchasing power increases as the price level falls.

shows the various amounts of output which firms wish to supply at each price level.

contains a vertical range where output is variable and prices are constant.

Is explained by the Keynes, Pigou and Foreign Purchases effects.

Question 35 1 pts

The equilibrium price level and level of real output (GDP) occur where:

Group of answer choices

the AD and AS curves intersect.

real output is as high as possible.

the price level is at its lowest level possible.

exports equal imports.

Newfoundland’s fishing industry has recently declined sharply due to overfishing, even though fishing companies were supposedly bound by a quota agreement. If all fishermen had abided by the agreement, yields could have been maintained at high levels.

Model this situation as a prisoner’s dilemma in which the players are Company A and Company B, and the strategies are to keep the quota and break the quota. Suppose that if both companies keep the quota, then each receives a payoff of $100, and if both break the quota, then each receives a payoff of $0. On the other hand, if one of the companies breaks the quota and the other keeps the quota, then the company that breaks the quota receives a payoff of $150, and the company that keeps the quota receives a payoff of -$50.

Instructions: Enter the players' payoffs in the payoff matrix below. Be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of any negative numbers.

What is the dominant strategy for both companies?

In equilibrium, what is each company's payoff?

Relative to the equilibrium outcome, both companies would be better off if they (Click to select)both kept the quotaboth broke the quota.

On the planet Homogenia every consumer who has ever lived consumes only two goods, x and y, and has the utility function U( x, y) = xy. The currency in Homogenia is the fragel. In this country in 1900, the price of good 1 was 1 fragel and the price of good 2 was 2 fragels. Per capita income was 108 fragels in 1990. In 2000, the price of good 1 was 3 fragels and the price of good 2 was 4 fragels and per capita income increased to 120

Discussion

True or False and Why?

I would like you to evaluate whether the following statements are true or false. Also, please provide your reasoning to support your answers.

Absolute vs. Comparative Advantage

Suppose that U.S. has an absolute advantage in the computer production compared to Germany, while Germany has an absolute advantage in the auto production compared to U.S. This implies that U.S. has a comparative advantage in the computer production and Germany has a comparative advantage in the auto production.

Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) vs. Consumption Possibility Frontier (CPF)

The Production possibility frontier is always the same as the consumption possibility frontier. (Hint: (Compared the case of no trade versus free trade)

1.) Given the information below about Farmer Sally’s wheat crop, fill in the table below and calculate her economic profit or loss when the market price is $3 per bushel. Hint: Recall that         MR = P under perfectly competitive conditions.

1. Graph Total Cost and Total Revenue on one graph and show the optimal point (either profit maximization or loss minimization).
2. Graph MC, ATC, AVC, and MR on one graph and show the optimal point (either profit maximization or loss minimization). Shade in the area of profit or loss.
3. If the price increased to $5 per bushel, what would be the economic profit or loss? How many bushels of wheat would Sally choose to produce?
4. What is Sally’s shutdown point? Answer this question in terms of both a minimum price that she would have to get in order to produce and a minimum quantity that she would be willing to make at the minimum price.
