A. the Japanese yen has appreciated in value.

B.U.S. citizens will buy more Japanese imports.

C. Japanese will demand less U.S. exports.

D. U.S. citizens will buy more Japanese imports.

Question 3

Table 20-1
Suppose the economy of Macroland is described by the following:
C = 200 + .8DI (DI = disposable income)
I = 300 + .2Y − 50r (Y = GDP)
(r, the interest rate, is measured in percentage points. For example, a 9 percent interest rate is r = 9).

For this economy, assume that the Federal Reserve uses its monetary policy to peg the interest rate at
r = 6
G = 750
T = .20Y
X = 200
M = 150 + .2Y
Hint: DI = Y − T

From Table 20-1, compute equilibrium GDP for Macroland.

A. 2,917

B. 2,778

C. 2,625

D. 2,525

Question 4

For the U.S, a major open economy with extensive capital flows, what is the effect of a decrease in interest rates due to expansionary monetary policy?

A. a currency depreciation and increased net exports

B. a currency depreciation and reduced net exports

C. a currency appreciation and increased net exports

D.a currency appreciation and reduced net exports

• Fiscal policy refers to the changes in government’s choices regarding the overall level of government spending and taxes to influence the behavior of the economy. Fiscal policy can expand or contract aggregate demand. The government sometimes uses the fiscal policy instruments in an attempt to stabilize the economy. Under a recession, an expansionary fiscal policy is adopted, which involves lowering taxes and/or increasing government spending. In an overheated expansion with an inflationary pressure, a contractionary fiscal policy is utilized, which requires higher taxes and/or reduced government spending. Economists and policymakers disagree about how active the government should be in these fiscal policy efforts.
• What are the expansionary and contractionary fiscal policies? What are their policy instruments? How are they used to deal with the inflationary gap and recessionary gap? Which do you think is more appropriate today?
• Should the government balance its budget? If you think it should, what steps do you suggest that it take to balance its budget?
• What is the relationship between budget deficits and national (public) debt? Why the U.S. national debt has been increasing for decades?
• Should the tax laws be reformed to encourage saving? Do you think consumption tax is better than income tax?

A study of undergraduate computer science students examined changes in major after the first year. The study examined the fates of 256 students who enrolled as first-year students in the same fall semester. The students were classified according to gender and their declared major at the beginning of the second year. For convenience we use the labels CS for computer science majors, EO for engineering and other science majors, and O for other majors. The explanatory variables included several high school grade summaries coded as 10 = A, 9 = A-, etc. Here are the mean high school mathematics grades for these students. Major Gender CS EO O Males 8.68 8.35 7.65 Females 9.11 9.36 8.04 Describe the main effects and interaction using appropriate graphs and calculations.
