inflationary gap

if the economy is at the equilibrium above potential output, there is a ___ gap and ___ fiscal policy is appropriate

The interest rate effect is the tendency for changes in the price level to affect

interest rates an thus the quantity of investment spending and consumption

Aggregate demand will increase in all of the following cases except when

interest rates increase

less than 4

may include decreases in taxes

Look at the fiscal policy choices. It would be appropriate to use contractionary fiscal policy to shift aggregate demand in ____ from ___

panel (b) AD1 to AD2

panel c

Look at the figure AD-AS model I. If the economy is at point X, there is a(n) ____ gap with ____ unemployment.

recessionary; high

To close an inflationary gap with fiscal policy the government could

reduce budget allocations to interstate highway maintenance

Look at the figure Fiscal Policy choices. if the government uses discretionary fiscal policy for the economy in panel (b) when real GDP is Y1 government spending is likely to be ____ and taxes are likely to be ___.

reduced; increased

All of the following are examples of fiscal policy EXCEPT

reducing the interest rate by increasing the money supply

Look at the figure An Increase in Aggregate Demand. The short-run equilibrium at Y2 and P2

results in an inflationary gap

If the stock of physical capital increases, all other things unchanged, the aggregate demand curve will

shift to the left

Suppose that consumer expectations improve. The aggregate demand curve will undergo a

shift to the right

Look at the figure Short-Run equilibrium. The economy is in short-run equilibrium. To move the economy to potential GDP, the government should reduce its spending by an amount equal to

(Y1-Yp)(1-MPC).
