Part Ⅰ. Fill in the blank with suitable content.1.Seven themes recur throughout the study of international economics. These are the gains from trade , the pattern of trade , protectionism the balance of payments, exchange rate determination, international policy coordination, international capital market.2. Countries engage in international trade for two basic reasons : comparative advantage and economics of scale .3. A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if the opportunity cost of producing that good in terms of other goods is lower in that country than it is in other countries.4. Labor is the only one factor of production. LC a 、LW a and *LC a 、*LW a are the unit labor requirement in cheese and wine at Home and Foreign, respectively. If aLC/aLW<aLC*/aLW* , Home has a comparative advantage in cheese. C p /W p is the relative price of cheese, whenaLC/aLW< Pc/Pw<aLC*/aLW* Home and Foreign specialize in producing cheese and wine , respectively.5. Labor is the only one factor of production. LC a 、LW a and *LC a 、*LW a are the unit labor requirement in cheese and wine at Home and Foreign, respectively. L and L*are Home’s and Foreign’s labor force. IfLC a /LW a <C p /W p <*LC a /*LW a , the world relative supply of cheese equals （L/aLC ）/(L*/aLW*) . Home’s gains from indirectly producing wine can be shown as (1/aLC)(Pc/Pw)－1/aLW6. In specific factors model(Q M =Q M (K, L M ); Q F =Q F (T, L F ); L=L M +L F ), if Home produces and trades manufactured goods for food , the overall comparison of the five change rate of goods price and factorprice MP ˆ、F P ˆ、K r ˆ、T r ˆ、W ˆinside Home is T F M K r P W P r ∧∧∧∧∧〉〉〉〉 . That is, the real income ofcapitalists increase, it can be shown as K r .7. There are two main reasons why international trade has strong effects on the distribution of income.First, resources can ’t move immediately or costlessly form one industry to another Second Industries differ in the factors of production they demand.8. In the Heckscher-Ohlin model,Comparative advantage is influenced by the interaction between relative abundance and relative intensity9.According to stolper-sammelson effect if the relative price of a good rises, the real income of the factor which intensively used in that good will rise, while the real income of the other factor will fall. 10.According to 罗布津斯基效应 Rybczynski effect , at unchanged relative goods price, if the supply of a factor of production increases, the output of the good that are intensive in that factor will rise, while the output of the other good will fall.11.According to H-O 模型H-O proposition , owners of a country’s abundant factors gain from trade, but owners of a country’s scare factors lose.12.According to 要素价格均等化命题 Factor price equalization proposition , international trade produces a convergence （收敛） of relative goods prices. This convergence, in turns, causes theconvergence of the relative factor prices. Trade leads to complete equalization of factor prices.（完整的要素价格均等化）13. Three assumptions （假设） crucial to the prediction of factor price equalization are in reality untrue. These assumptions are (1) 两个国家都生产两种产品 both countries produce both goods (2) 两国技术相同 technologies are the same (3) 存在贸易壁垒：天然壁垒和人为壁垒There are barriers to trade: natural barriers and artificial barriers .14.“U.S. exports were less capit al-intensive than U.S. imports” is known as 里昂惕夫悖论 Leontief paradox .15.The Ricardian Model , the Specific Factor model and the H-O model may be viewed as special cases （特殊情况） of 标准贸易模型 standard trade models16.The standard trade model derives （派生推导） a world relative supply curve （曲线） from production possibilities and a world relative demand curve from preferences .17.To export-biased growth, if the decline （下降） of the welfare caused by the deterioration （恶化） ofthe terms of trade swap over （交换） the rise of the welfare caused by growth, the growth is immiserizing growth (贫困化增长).18. Some economists argued that export-biased growth by poor nations would worsen their term of trade so much that they would be worse off than if they had not grown at all. This situation is known as immiserizing growth (贫困化增长) .19.Immiserizing growth demands strict conditions, these conditions are economic growth is strongly export-biased , the growing country is large enough to affect the world price , RS and RD must be very steep .20.According to “ 梅茨勒悖论Metzle paradox ”, t ariffs and export subsidies （补贴） might have perverse （有害的） effects on internal price. 21.In the model of “Monopolistic （垄断） Competition and Trade”, firms of an individual nation face the trade-off between economies of scale and variety of products .22. Marshall argued that there were three main reasons why a cluster of firms （企业集群）may be more efficient than an individual firm in isolation: specialized supplies , labor market pooling , knowledge spillovers (知识溢出)23.The pattern of intraindustry （产业内） trade itself is unpredicted, history and accident determine the details of the trade pattern.39. When there is external economies （外部经济）, the pattern of international trade is determined by economics of scale interact with comparative advantage .24. The indexes （指标）of intrainindustry trade of a industry can be calculated by the standard formula:25. Interindustry trade and intrainindustry （产业内） trade are the sources of gains from trade . When countries are similar in their relative factor supplies 、scale economies and product differentiations are important , intrainindustry trade is the dominant source （主要来源） of gains from trade, everyone gains from trade.26.The argument of temporary （暂时的） protection of industries to enable them to gain experience is known as 幼稚产业论the infant industry argument27. If we add together the gains and losses from a tariff, We find the net effect on national welfarecan be separated into two parts: terms of trade gain and efficiency loss 28.Why do countries adopt trade policies such as tariff or import quota, which produce more costs than benefits?—— trade politics29.In the political economy of trade policy （贸易政策的政治经济学） , government are assumed to （被假定为）maximize 政治成功political success rather than 国家福利 national welfare . 30.Deviations from free trade can sometimes increase national welfare. These arguments include the term of trade argument for a tariff and the domestic market failure argument31.According to “Specific rule (对症规则) ”, domestic market failure should be corrected by domestic policies aimed directly at the problem’s sources.32. Although market failures are probably common, the domestic market failure argument against free trade should not be applied too freely.First domestic market failure should be corrected by domestic policies aimed directly at the problems ’ sources ;Second economists cannot diagnose market failure well enough to prescribe policy .33. International trade often produces losers as well as winners. In the actual politics of trade policy,income distribution is of crucial importance. 集体行动问题The problem of collective action can explain why policies that not only seem to produce more costs than benefits but that also seem to hurt far more voters them they can help can nonetheless be adopted.34.The WTO includes four aspects content: GATT 1994, GATS , TRIPS , TRIMS35.“Nondiscriminatory” principles （非歧视性原则）include most favored nation principle and national treatment principle36.For preferential （优惠） trading agreements, such as customs union , countries must cede part ofexp 1exp orts importsI orts imports -=-+their sovereignty to supranational entity （必须放弃部分主权的超国家实体） 37.Whether a customs union （关税同盟） is desirable （可取） or undesirable depends on whether it largelyindustrialization and coping with the problems of the dual economy. Correspondingly, there are two main arguments for developing countries to pursue policy of import-substituting industrialization. The two arguments are the infant industry argument t and market failure justification for infant industry protection .40. Sophisticated proponents of the infant industry argument have identified two market failures as reasons why infant industry protection may be a good idea: The imperfect capital markets justification and The appropriability argument .Part Ⅱ. True or False (true and false are denoted by “T” and “F”, respectively) 1. If a LW */a L C *<a LW /a L C , Home’s relat ive productivity in cheese is higher. (T )2. According to the Ricardian model, it is precisely because the relative wage is between the relative productivities that each country ends up with a cost advantage in one good.The good for which *Li a /Li a >w /*w will be produced in Foreign. ( F )3. It is precisely because the relative wage is between the relative productivities that each country ends up with a cost advantage in one good. ( T )4.Long-run convergence(长期收敛) in productivity （生产力）produces long-run convergence in wages.( T )5. “Korean workers earn only $2.50 an hour; if we allow Korea to export as much as it likes to the United States, our workers will be forced down to the same level. You can’t import a $5 shirt without importing the $2.50 wage that goes with it.” (F )6.The proposition that trade is beneficial is unqualified(不合格). That is, there is no requirement that a country be “competitive” or that the trade be “fair”. ( T)7. Free trade is beneficial only if your country is strong enough to stand up to foreign competition.

( F )18.It is possible in principle for a country’s government to use taxes and subsidies (补贴) to redistribute （重新分配） income to give each individual more of both goods. ( T )19. Although international trade has strong effects on income distribution, there are still possible in principle to make each individual better off. ( T )20. Typically, those who gain from trade in any particular product are a much more concentrated, informed, and organized group than those who lose. ( F )21.

( F )30. Only by dropping the Heckscher-Ohlin assumption that technologies are the same across the countries can the overall pattern of international trade be well predicted by the H-O model. ( T )31.If a country want to maximize its national welfare, the consumption point is where the highest isovalue line is tangent to the highest reachable indifference curve. ( T )32.A rise in the terms of trade increases a country’s welfare, while a decline in the terms of trade reduces its welfare. ( T )33.Export-biased growth tends to improve the growing country’s terms of trade at the rest of the world’s expense.( F )34.If the two countries allocate(分配) their change in spending in the same proportions, there will not be a terms of trade effect. ( T )35. If the country receiving a transfer spends a higher proportion of an increase income on its export good than the giver, a transfer raises world relative demand for the recipient’s export good and thus improve it s terms of trade. ( T )36.A transfer worsens the donor’s terms of trade if the donor has a higher mariginal propensity to spend on its export good than the recipient(受体). ( T )37.A transfer improves the donor’s terms of trade, worsens recipient’s terms of tra de. ( F )38.A transfer of income——say foreign aid——could conceivably leave the recipient worse off. ( T )39.A tariff improves Home’s terms of trade and worsens Foreign’s, while a Home export subsidy worsens Home’s terms of trade and improve Foreign’s.( T )40. Where there is economies of scale, there is imperfectly competitive market structure. ( F )41.If intraindustry trade is the dominant source of gains from trade, everyone gains from trade. ( T )42.Effect on the distribution of income within countries often weight more heavily on policy than terms of trade concerns. ( T )43.The usual market structure in industries characterized by internal economies of scale is monopolistic competition. ( F )44.Today, antidumping(反倾销) may be a device of protectionism. ( T )45.Reciprocal(相互) dumping tends to increase the volume of trade in goods that are quite identical （一致）. ( F )46.It is possible that reciprocal dumping increase national welfare. ( T )47.Strong external(外部) economies te nd to “locked in” the existing patterns of interindustry trade, even if the patterns are run counter to(背道而驰) comparative advantage. ( T )48.A trading country can conceivably lose from trade is potentially justify protectionism. ( T )49.Like static external economies, dynamic external economies can lock in an initial advantage in an industry. ( T )50.The stratigic trade policy is related to the model of “Monopolistic competition, differentiate product s and intraindustry trade”. ( F )51.The model “Oligopoly, homogeneous products and intraindustry trade” is first developed by Krugman and Helpman .

( T )58.Nominal(名义)tariff reflects the effective rate of protection(有效保护率). (F)59.The costs and benefits analysis of a tariff is correct if only the direct gains to producers and consumers in a given market accurately measure the social gains. ( T )60.The costs and benefits analysis of a tariff is correct if only a dollar’s worth of benefits to each group is the same.

( T )65.Deviations from free trade can sometimes increase national welfare. (T )66.For a sufficiently small tariff the terms of trade gain of small country must outweigh the efficiency loss.( F )67.The domestic market failure argument against free trade is intellectually impeccable but of doubtful usefulness. (F )68. “U.S. farm exports don’t just mean hi gher incomes for farmers — they mean higher income for everyone who sell goods and services to the U.S. farm sector”. This remark is a potential valid a rgument for export subsidy. ( T )69.Most deviations from free trade are adopted not because their benefit exceed their costs but because the public fails to understand their true costs. ( T )70.If there is marginal social costs rather than marginal social benefits, domestic market failure reinforce the case for free trade.

Using a supply and demand diagram, demonstrate how a negative externality leads to market inefficiency.When a negative externality exists, the private cost (or supply curve) is less than the social cost. The market equilibrium quantity of Q0 will be greater than the socially optimal quantity of Q1. The government could help eliminate this inefficiency by taxing the product. In this example, the size of the per-unit tax would be P3 - P1 (or P2 - P0).DIF: 2 REF: 10-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Markets, market failure, and externalities TOP: Negative externalitiesMSC: Analytical2.

Why are efficiency taxes preferred to regulatory policies as methods remedy externalities?ANS:Efficiency taxes allow markets to coordinate optimal resource allocation. In order for regulations to be efficient, the government needs detailed information about specific industries, including information about the alternative technologies that those industries could adopt. Thus, taxes are likely to reduce pollution at a lower cost to society.

To produce honey, beekeepers place hives of bees in the fields of farmers. As bees gather nectar, theypollinate the crops in the fields, which increases the yields of these fields at no additional cost to the farmer.What might be a reasonable private solution to this externality, and how might the solution be reached? ANS:One solution would be to have one person own both the farm fields and the beehives, in which case the externality is internalized. Another solution would be to have the farmer and beekeeper enter into a contract so that they can coordinate the number of bee hives and acres of crops to maintain an efficient outcome.DIF: 1 REF: 10-3 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Markets, market failure, and externalities TOP: ExternalitiesUnder what circumstances will private bargaining fail to produce a solution?ANS:Private parties may fail to bargain to an efficient solution under a variety of circumstances. First, the transaction costs of bargaining may be so high that one or both of the parties decides not to bargain. Second, the bargaining may not take place if one or both of the parties believes that the agreement cannot be enforced. Third, one or both of the parties may try to hold out for a better deal, in which case the bargaining process breaks down. Fourth, if there are a large number of parties taking part in the negotiations, the costs of coordination may be so great that the bargaining is not successful.DIF: 1 REF: 10-3 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Markets, market failure, and externalities TOP: Coase theoremMSC: Interpretive。

Explain the difference between absolute advantage and comparative advantage. Which is more important indetermining trade patterns, absolute advantage or comparative advantage? Why?ANS:Absolute advantage refers to productivity, as in the producer who can produce a product at a lower cost in terms of the resources used in production. Comparative advantage refers to the producer who can produce a product at a lower opportunity cost. Comparative advantage is the principle upon which trade patterns are based. Comparative advantage is based on opportunity cost, and opportunity cost measures the real cost to an individual or country of producing a particular product. Opportunity cost is therefore the information necessary for an individual or nation to determine whether to produce a good or buy it from someone else.DIF: 2 REF: 3-2 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Gains from trade, specialization and tradeTOP: Absolute advantage | Comparative advantage | Trade MSC: InterpretiveChapter 3 /Interdependence and the Gains from Trade133 2.The only two countries in the world, Alpha and Omega, face the following production possibilities frontiers.

《国际经济学》试题

《国际经济学》试题4及参考答案Ⅰ. Explain the following terms (20 points, 4points/term)parative advantage: A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if the opportunity cost of producing that good in terms of other goods is lower in that country than it is in other countries(3 points).2.Heckscher-Ohlin theory : it is also referred to as thefactor-proportions theory, the theory emphasizes the interplay between the proportions in which different factors of production are available in different countries and the proportions in which they are used in producing different goods.3. Equalization of factor prices: When Home and Foreign trade, the relative prices of goods converge. This convergence, in turn, causes convergence of the relative prices of land and labor. Thus there is clearly a tendency toward equalization of factor prices.4. Foreign exchange option: A foreign exchange option gives its owner the right to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency at a specified price at any time up to a specified expiration date. The other party to the deal, the option's seller, is required to sell or buy the foreign currency at the discretion of the option's owner, who is under no obligation to exercise his right.5.Interest parity condition: The condition that the expected returns on deposits of any twocurrencies are equal when measured in the same currency is called the interest parity condition. It implies that potential holders of foreign currency deposits view them all as equally desirable assets.II. Questions and problems(40 points,10 points/Question)1. In the United States where land is cheap, the ratio of land to labor used in cattle rising is higher than that of land used in wheat growing. But in more crowded countries, where land is expensive and labor is cheap, it is common to raise cows by using less land and more labor than Americans use to grow wheat. Can we still say that raising cattle is land intensive compared with farming wheat? Why or why not(8 points)?Answer: The definition of cattle growing as land intensive depends on the ratio of land to labor used in production, not on the ratio of land or labor to output(3 points). The ratio of land to labor in cattle exceeds the ratio in wheat in the United States, implying cattle is land intensivein the United States. Cattle is land intensive in other countries too if the ratio of land to labor in cattle production exceeds the ratio in wheat production in that country. The comparison between another country and the United States is less relevant for answering the question(5 points).2. Suppose the dollar interest rate and the pound sterling interest rate are the same, 5 percent per year. What is the relation between the current equilibrium $/￡ exchange rate and its expected future level? Suppose the expected future $/￡ exchange rate, $1.52 per pound, remains constant as Britain's interest rate rises to 10 percent per year. If the U.S. interest rate also remains constant, what is the new equilibrium $/￡ exchange rate(8 points)?Answer: The current equilibrium exchange rate must equal its expected future level since, with equality of nominal interest rates, there canbe no expected increase or decrease in the dollar/pound exchange rate in equilibrium(3 points). If the expected exchange rate remains at $1.52 per pound and the pound interest rate rises to 10 percent, then interest parityis satisfied only if the current exchange rate changes such that thereis an expected appreciation of the dollar equal to 5 percent. This will occur when the exchange rate rises to $1.60 per pound (a depreciation of the dollar against the pound) (5 points).3. What are the real exchange rate and nominal exchange rate, and their differences(8 points)?Answer: the real exchange rate is the relative price of two output baskets, nominal exchange rate is the relative price of two currencies(3 points).The real exchange rate between two countries' currencies is a broad summary measure of the prices of one country's goods and services relative to the other's. the prediction of PPP is that real exchange rates never change, at least not permanently. Real exchange rates are defined, however, in terms of nominal exchange rates and price levels(5 points).4. What are the Absolute PPP and Relative PPP, and their differences?Answer: Relative PPP thus translates absolute PPP from a statement about price and exchange rate levels into one about price and exchange rate changes. It asserts that prices and exchange rates change in a way that preserves the ratio of each currency's domestic and foreign purchasing powers(5 points).Ⅲ. Between 1984 and 1985, the money supply in the United States increased to $641.0 billion from $570.3 billion, while that of Brazil increased to 106.1 billion cruzados from 24.4 billion. Over the same period, the U.S. consumerprice index rose to 100 from a level of 96.6, while the corresponding index for Brazil rose to 100 from a level of only 31. Calculate the 1984-1985 rates of money supply growth and inflation for the United States and Brazil, respectively. Assuming that other factors affecting the money markets did not change too dramatically, how do these numbers match up with the predictions of this chapter's model? How would you explain the apparently different responses of U.S. compared with Brazilian prices(20 points)?Answer: The 1984 - 1985 money supply growth rate was 12.4 percent in the United States (100%*(641.0 - 570.3)/570.3) and 334.8 percent in Brazil (100%*(106.1 - 24.4)/24.4) (5 points).The inflation rate in the United States during this period was 3.5 percent and in Brazil the inflation rate was 222.6 percent. The change in real money balances in the United States was approximately 12.4% - 3.5%= 8.9%, while the change in real money balances in Brazil was approximately 334.8% - 222.6% = 112.2%(5points).The small change in the U.S. price level relative to the change in its money supply as compared to Brazil may be due to greater short-run price stickiness in the United States; the change in the price level in the United States represents 28 percent of the change in the money supply((3.5/12.4)*100%) while in Brazil this figure is 66 percent ((222.6/334.8)*100%)(5points).There are, however, large differences between the money supply growth and the growth of the price level in both countries, which casts doubt on the hypothesis of money neutrality in the short run for both countries(5 points).Ⅳ. Please discuss the influences of the sub-prime mortgage financial crisis on China’s export and China’s corresponding measures(20 points)..Answer:（1）The sub-prime mortgage financial crisis and China’s export conditions(5points).（2）The measures of China’s government to deal with the sub-prime mortgage financial crisis and opinions of somescholars(5points).（3）Express your opinions and reasons whether China’s should involve the western countries activities of saving the financialmarkets(5points).）（4）Express your opinions and reasons how China’s should deal with the sub-prime mortgage financial crisis (5 points).。

What is the difference between monetary policy and fiscal policy?ANS:The Federal Reserve Bank conducts U.S. monetary policy.

There are three factors that help explain the slope of the aggregate demand curve. Which two are lessimportant? Why are they less important?ANS:The wealth effect and the exchange-rate effect are less important than the interest-rate effect in the United States. The wealth effect is not very important because it operates through changes in the real value of money, and money is only a small fraction of household wealth. So it is unlikely that changes in the price level will lead to large changes in consumption spending through this channel. The exchange-rate effect is not very important in the United States because trade with other countries represents a relatively small fraction of U.S. GDP. So a change in net-exports due to a change in the exchange rate is likely to have a relatively small impact on real GDP.DIF: 2 REF: 34-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Wealth effect | Exchange-rate effectMSC: Analytical3. Explain why the interest rate is the opportunity cost of holding currency. What is the benefit of holdingcurrency?ANS:The nominal interest rate on currency is zero. The next best alternative is to buy a bond and earn interest. Currency is used as a medium of exchange. Bonds are illiquid and so are costly to convert to a medium of exchange.DIF: 2 REF: 34-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Currency | Interest ratesMSC: Interpretive4. Describe the process in the money market by which the interest rate reaches its equilibrium value if it startsabove equilibrium.ANS:If the interest rate is above equilibrium, there is an excess supply of money. People with more money than they want to hold given the current interest rate deposit the money in banks and buy bonds. The increase in funds to lend out causes the interest rate to fall. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of money demanded increases, which tends to diminish the excess supply of money.DIF: 3 REF: 34-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Money marketMSC: Analytical5. Use the money market to explain the interest-rate effect and its relation to the slope of the aggregate demandcurve.ANS:When the price level falls, people need less money for their transactions. The decreased demand for money leads to a decrease in interest rates as money demand shifts left. Lower interest rates encourage consumption and investment spending. Thus, a decrease in the price level raises the aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded.DIF: 2 REF: 34-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Interest-rate effectMSC: Analytical6. Explain the logic according to liquidity preference theory by which an increase in the money supply changesthe aggregate demand curve.ANS:When the money supply increases, the interest rate falls. As the interest rate falls people will want to spend more and firms will want to build more factories and other capital goods. This increase in aggregate demand happens for any given price level, so aggregate demand shifts right.DIF: 2 REF: 34-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Monetary policy | Aggregate-demand curveMSC: AnalyticalChapter 34/The Influence of Monetary and Fiscal Policy On Aggregate Demand 2255 7. How does a reduction in the money supply by the Fed make owning stocks less attractive?ANS:The reduction in the money supply raises the interest rate. So the return on bonds increases relative to the return on stocks. The increase in the interest rate also causes spending to fall, so that revenues and profits fall, making shares of ownership in corporations less valuable.DIF: 2 REF: 34-1 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Money supply | Stock marketMSC: Applicative8. Suppose that the government spends more on a missile defense program. What does this do to aggregatedemand? How is you answer affected by the presence of the multiplier, crowding-out, taxes, andinvestment-accelerator effects?ANS:The increase in expenditures means that government spending rises. The aggregate demand curve shifts to the right. Aggregate demand shifts farther if there is a multiplier effect or an investment accelerator and shifts less if there is crowding out or if taxes are raised to increase government expenditures.DIF: 2 REF: 34-2 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Multiplier effect | Crowding out | InvestmentMSC: Interpretive9. Suppose that there are no crowding-out effects and the MPC is .9. By how much must the governmentincrease expenditures to shift the aggregate demand curve right by $10 billion?ANS:An MPC of .9 means the multiplier = 1/(1 - .9) = 10. The increase in aggregate demand equals the multiplier times the change in government expenditures. So to increase aggregate demand by $10 billion, the government would have to increase expenditures by $1 billion.DIF: 2 REF: 34-2 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Multiplier effectMSC: Analytical10. Suppose that the government increases expenditures by $150 billion while increasing taxes by $150 billion.Suppose that the MPC is .80 and that there are no crowding out or accelerator effects. What is the combined effects of these changes? Why is the combined change not equal to zero?ANS:The multiplier is 1/(1-MPC) = 1/(1-.8) = 1/.2 = 5. The increase of $150 in government expenditures leads to a shift of $150 billion x 5 = $750 billion in aggregate demand. The increase in taxes decreases income by $150 and so initially decreases consumption by $150 billion x MPC = $150 billion x .8 = $120 billion. This change in consumption will create a multiplier effect of $120 billion x 5 = $600. Thus the net change is $750 billion - $600 billion = $150 billion. The changes don’t cancel each other out, because a tax increase decreases consumption by less than the tax increase.DIF: 3 REF: 34-3 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Multiplier effect | TaxesMSC: Analytical11. Suppose that consumers become pessimistic about the future health of the economy. What will happen toaggregate demand and to output? What might the president and Congress have to do to keep output stable? ANS:As consumers become pessimistic about the future of the economy, they cut their expenditures so that aggregate demand shifts left and output falls. The president and Congress could adjust fiscal policy to increase aggregate demand. They could either increase government spending, or cut taxes, or both.DIF: 2 REF: 34-3 NAT: AnalyticLOC: Monetary and fiscal policy TOP: Stabilization policy | ExpectationsMSC: Analytical2256 Chapter 34/The Influence of Monetary and Fiscal Policy On Aggregate Demand12. Explain how unemployment insurance acts as an automatic stabilizer.ANS:As income falls, unemployment rises.
