2

CORRECT In the very long run

A)

the position of the AD-curve depends on the productive capacity of theeconomy

B)

the position of the AS-curve depends on the degree of consumerconfidence

C) the position of the AS-curve essentially determines the level of output

D)

the position of the AD-curve is affected by changes in efficiencyimprovements

3CORRECT The position of the long-run AS-curve is determined by

A) the full-employment level of output

B) consumer confidence

C) fiscal policy

D) monetary policy

4

CORRECT In the very short run

A) the position of the AD-curve determines the level of output

B)

the position of the AD-curve cannot be changed by fiscal or monetarypolicy



C)

a change in monetary policy will affect both the price level and the levelof output

D) a change in fiscal policy will not change the level of output

5

CORRECT In the very short run

A)

the level of prices can change quite rapidly, but the level of output isfixed

B) the level of prices is unaffected by the level of output

C)

the level of prices and the level of output change with a shift in aggregatedemand

D) the level of prices and the level of output are both fixed

6

CORRECT In the medium run, restrictive fiscal policy will cause

A) a decrease in the level of output but no change in the level of prices

B) a decrease in the level of prices but no change in the level of output

C) a decrease in both the level of prices and the level of output

D) a decrease in real GDP with no change in nominal GDP

7

CORRECT In the medium run, monetary policy can be used to

A)

shift the AD-curve, but this will only result in a price change, not in achange in real GDP

B) affect nominal GDP, but this will not have any effect on real GDP

C) lower the price level while increasing the level of real GDP

D)

lower the price level but only at the cost of also lowering the level of realGDP

8

CORRECT Periods of very high inflation rates

B) most often are caused by sharp increases in aggregate demand

C)

can only occur if the output gap is large

D) most often occur when actual GDP is less than potential GDP

9CORRECT The size of the output gap is determined by

A) nominal GDP minus real GDP

B) potential GDP minus actual GDP

C) nominal GDP adjusted for inflation

D)

actual output minus the output that could be produced if the capital stockremained constant

10

CORRECT If we assume that the AD-curve remains constant over time, we can expectthat

A) the level of GDP will not change over time

B) the price level will not change over time

C) the price level will steadily decline over time

D)

the level of both output and prices will vary greatly as the long run AS-curve shifts unpredictably
