    buy products in the product markets and sell resources in the resource markets.

The total market value of final goods and services produced in the economy during a given year.

Gross National Product (GNP) minus depreciation (capital consumption allowance)

National Income (NI).

The GDP may be an inaccurate measure of the economy's true performance. Which of the following may be responsible for this inaccuracy?

Government purchases of goods and services are counted at cost rather than at market price.

Illegal goods and services are not counted.

Household production is not measured.

Barter transactions are not measured.

All of the above.

The unemployment caused by an economic recession is called

frictional unemployment.

structural unemployment.

cyclical unemployment.

seasonal unemployment.

involuntary unemployment.

The unemployment rate statistic published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics may underestimate the magnitude of the unemployment problem in the economy because

"all part-time workers are counted as ""employed"" even though some would prefer to work full-time (i.e. are underemployed)."

some workers are working in jobs for which they are overqualified (also underemployed).

"""discouraged workers,"" who are no longer looking for work, are not counted in the labor force."

all of the above.

Underemployment includes the following:

People employed part time who would prefer full-time work (part time for economic reasons)

Those working in jobs below their qualifications and preferred level (e.g. a PhD pumping gas)

Discouraged workers

All the above

"All, but the discouraged workers "

Which of the following is NOT a problem in using economic statistics?

Using GDP statistics to compare income in the U.S. and Bangladesh may be inaccurate because household production (non-market) is a much higher percentage of the economy of Bangladesh.

"Using the published CPI statistics to calculate changes in the purchasing power of your income is inaccurate because the CPI is calculated for the ""average consumer's"" spending pattern."

"The same statistics are often interpreted differently by different politicians and reporters, which makes it difficult to understand what is really happening without understanding how the statistics were calculated."

Government statisticians in the U.S. frequently distort the numbers.

Which of the following transactions is directly measured as part of GDP ?

childcare and housework services performed without pay by a homemaker.

purchase of a used car.

sale of an IBM bond.

services of a prostitute.

none of the above.

Aji and Mustapha both obey the two-period model of consumption. Aji earns $100 in the first period and $100 in the second period. Mustapha earns nothing in the first period and $210 in the second period. Both of them can borrow or lend at the interest rate r.

  1. You observe both Aji & Mustapha consuming $100 in the first period and $100 in the second period. What is the interest rate r?
  2. Suppose the interest rate increases. In a clearly labeled diagram, what will happen to Aji’s consumption in the first period? Is Aji better off or worse off than before the interest rate? (Hint: what is the substitution effect?)
  3. In a clearly labeled diagram, what will happen to Mustapha’s consumption in the first period when the interest rate increase? Is Mustapha better off or worse off than before the interest rate?
