The world has been hit by the outbreak of a viral
disease in the latter part of 2019 named “novel Coronavirus
disease 2019” (COVID-19). A lot of people in many countries have
been infected leading to loss of many lives
and hence necessitating a lockdown by many countries. This has also
stalled economic activities globally. This
viral outbreak has also been declared as a global pandemic by the
World Health Organisation (WHO). Ghana
however recorded its first case of the COVID-19 on March 12, 2020
and the number of confirmed cases keep
increasing with few deaths. The president therefore thought it wise
to declare a lockdown of some major parts
of the country on March 30, 2020 with its attendant effects and he
reopened it three weeks later.
Required:
a. What are the potential trickle down economic effects on the
Ghanaian economy of the global impact
caused by the deadly COVID-19 since no country is an island by
itself?
b. Discuss the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 on the
economy of Ghana with reference to
the following thematic areas: Gross Domestic Product; Inflation;
Government Revenue; Budget Deficit;
Debt level.
c. What is your assessment of the feasibility and practicability of
the fiscal and monetary measures that
have been put in place by the government so far?
d. By looking at the bright side, identify any three economic
opportunities that COVID-19 presents to the
Ghanaian economy.

In 1984 and 1985, the small South American country of Bolivia experienced hyperinflation.
Do the money supply, price level, and exchange rate against the U.S. dollar move broadly as economic theory wouldpredict?
A. No, the three variables did not move in rigid lockstep as one would expect.
B. Yes, these three variables clearly moved in step, just as the theory would predict.
C. Not exactly, since the exchange rate went up while inflation the money supply also increased.
D. Bolivian data is too unreliable to assess in any meaningful way.
Between April 1984 and July 1985, the percent change in the general price level was approximately ____ %.
Between April 1984 and July 1985, the percent change in the price of the dollar was approximately ____ %.
How do these rates of increase compare to each other, and to the percent increase in the money supply?
A. All three rates of increase were very disparate.
B. Both increased at similar rates, and more slowly than the money supply.
C. Both increased at similar rates, and more rapidly than the money supply.
D. None of the above.
Can you explain the results regarding the percentage changes in these three variables? (Hint: Refer to the definition of the velocity of money.)
A. The results are consistent with an increase in the real demand for money, an effect that is correlated with exploding inflation, just as Bolivia experienced.
B. The results are consistent with a decline in the real demand for money, an effect that is correlated with exploding inflation, just as Bolivia experienced.
C. The results are unexplainable since the Bolivian experience was unprecedented.
D. The results are consistent with an increase in the real demand for money, which likely happened in Bolivia due to the surge in prices.
The Bolivian government introduced a dramatic stabilization plan near the end of August 1985. Looking at the price levels and exchange rates for the following two months, do you think it was successful?
A. Two months is an insufficient length of time to formulate an assessment.
B. No, the price level remained ridiculously high and the peso was still almost worthless relative to the dollar.
C. Yes, since both the price level and the exchange rate began to level off in the two months after August.
In light of your answer, explain why the money supply increased by a large amount between September and October 1985.
A. Seasonal factors such as fall harvesting explain the increase.
B. The increase was only large in absolute terms. In percentage terms, it was the second smallest month-over-month increase for 1985.
C. October was the start of a new Bolivian fiscal year.
D. The increase was probably a policy error by the Bolivian central bank.
