A. In today's interconnected world, many central banks communicate regularly and frequently with the public about the state of the economy, the economic outlook, and the likely future course of monetary policy. Communication about the likely future course of monetary policy is known as "forward guidance.". If the central bank increases the reserve ratio, as the market has perfectly expected, which of the following will surely happen?

  1. The short run economic output will be deviating from its potential output

  2. The prevailing price level of goods and services in that country will fall

  3. The level of potential output will be shifting to the left

  4. None of the following will happen for sure

B. What actually helps to determine the slope of short-term aggregate supply curve?

  1. The rate at which the level of technology increases

  2. The rate at which the country’s capital stock is depreciating

  3. How responsive is the actual short run level of output to the deviation of actual price level of the economy from its expected price level

  4. How sensitive is the economy towards changes of nominal interest rate

C.  During a recession the economy experiences:

  1. rising employment and income.

  2. rising employment and falling income.

  3. rising income and falling employment.

  4. falling employment and income.

D. Most economists believe that in the short run

  1. real and nominal variables are determined independently and that money cannot move real GDP away from its long-run trend.

  2. real and nominal variables are determined independently but that money can temporarily move real GDP away from its long-run trend.

  3. real and nominal variables are highly intertwined but that money cannot move real GDP away from its long- run trend.

  4. real and nominal variables are highly intertwined and that money can temporarily move real GDP away from its long-run trend.

E. The Central Bank of Wiknam increases the money supply at the same time the Parliament of Wiknam passes a new investment tax credit. Which of these policies shift aggregate demand to the right?

  1. both the money supply increase and the investment tax credit

  2. the money supply increase but not the investment tax credit

  3. the investment tax credit but not the money supply increase

  4. neither the investment tax credit nor the money supply increase

F. The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift right if the government were to

  1. reduce the minimum-wage.

  2. make unemployment benefits more generous.

  3. raise taxes on investment spending.

  4. All of the above are correct.

G. Sticky nominal wages can result in

  1. lower profits for firms when the price level is lower than expected.

  2. a decrease in real wages when the price level is lower than expected.

  3. a short-run aggregate-supply curve that is vertical.

  4. a long-run aggregate-supply curve that is upward-sloping.

H. In which case can we be sure aggregate demand shifts left overall?

  1. people want to save more for retirement and the Fed increases the money supply.

  2. people want to save more for retirement and the Fed decreases the money supply.

  3. people want to save less for retirement and the Fed increases the money supply.

  4. people want to save less for retirement and the Fed decreases the money supply.

I. In the context of the aggregate-demand curve, the interest-rate effect refers to the idea that, when the price level increases,

  1. the real value of money decreases; in turn, the real value of the dollar increases in foreign exchange markets, which decreases net exports.

  2. the real value of money decreases; in turn, interest rates increase, which decreases net exports.

  3. households increase their holdings of money; in turn, interest rates decrease, which reduces spending on investment goods.

  4. households increase their holdings of money; in turn, interest rates increase, which reduces spending on investment goods.

J. Since the end of World War II, the U.S. has almost always had rising prices and an upward trend in real GDP. To explain this

  1. it is only necessary that long-run aggregate supply shifts right over time.

  2. it is only necessary that aggregate demand shifts right over time.

  3. both aggregate demand and long-run aggregate supply must be shifting right and aggregate demand must be shifting farther.

  4. None of the above cases would produce rising prices and growing real GDP over time.

The term “resource nationalism" typically refers to a policy used by a resource rich country to ensure maximum revenues from its natural resources. It is thought to have a distinct anti-West character, because anticolonial experience of oil-rich countries makes them think of losing control over their natural resources. Many countries have been thought to benefit immensely if they nationalize their oil and gas resources. There are however concerns that nationalizing oil resources could lead to the “resource curse” phenomenon based on the observation that countries rich in mineral resources often have poor governance structure, weak institutions and inequitable distribution of the resource wealth among citizens of the state. Econometric analysis show that mere possession of natural resources does not lead to the resource curse syndrome.
a. Considering the country's stable political system, its relatively robust and diversified economy, and the strength of the civil society, is Ghana immune against the Resource Curse. Present your outlook.
b. How does the royalties’ scheme work? Do royalties stay in the regions. How is Ghana investing its petroleum resources in our local communities?

please is petroleum question and its petroleum policy as a course so i need and expert to help me deal with it well

  1. A firm has the production function Q = 4LK. The marginal products are given by MPL = 4K and MPK = 4L. Suppose that w = r = 25. Write out the expression for the long run total cost curve. Does this firm experience economies or diseconomies of scale? Does this firm experience increasing, decreasing or constant returns to scale?

2. The current price level in the U.S. is $14,000 per consumption bundle, and £10,000 per consumption bundle in the U.K.. The spot rate is $1.65/£. The annual inflation rate is expected to be 2% in the U.S. and 5% in the U.K.

(1) Assume £ weakens against dollar by 4% in the next year. Discuss with calculations (a) the impact on GBP’s purchasing power in U.S. in the next year; (b) the impact on GBP’s purchasing power in U.K. in the next year; (c) which country will become more competitive in the world market next year

(2)    Calculate to conclude the deprecation/appreciation of GBP that leads to no change to the trade between two countries in the next year.
