saving, investment, and growth; in the short run, fiscal policy primarily influences the aggregate demand for goods and services

liquidity preference theory is most relevant to the

short run and supposes that the interest rate adjusts to bring money supply and money demand into balance

other things the same, an increase in the us interest rate causes

supply in the market for foreign-currency exchange to decrease so the exchange rate increases

the exchange rate falls. other things the same, it will cost fewer euros to buy us goods.

shifts in the aggregate demand curve can cause fluctuations in

the level out output and in the level of prices

the variables on the vertical and horizontal axes of the aggregate demand and supply graph are

the price level and real output

according to classical macroeconomic theory, changes in the money supply affect

the price level, but not unemployment

as the interest rate falls,

the quantity of money demanded rises, which would reduce a surplus

in the open-economy macroeconomic model, if there is a surplus in the market for foreign-currency exchange, which of the following will move the market to equilibrium?

the real exchange rate depreciates and net exports rise

when a country's government budget deficit increases,

the real exchange rate of its currency increases and its net exports decrease

automatic stabilizers

are changes in taxes or government spending increase aggregate demand without requiring policy makers to act when the economy goes into recession

to stabilize interest rates, the federal reserve will respond to an increase in money demand by

buying government bonds, which increases the supply of money

other things the same, if the long-run aggregate supply curve shifts right, prices

decrease and output increases

in the short run, an increase in the money supply causes interest rates to

decrease, and aggregate demand to shift right

when the fed sells government bonds, the reserves of the banking system

decrease, so the money supply decreases

if taxes

decrease, then consumption increases, and aggregate demand shifts rightward

if the fed conducts open-market sales, the money supply

decreases and aggregate demand shifts left

demand curve in panel a

assume the money market is initially in equilibrium. if the price level increases, then according to liquidity preference theory there is an excess

demand for money until the interest rate increases

if the nominal exchange rate e is foreign currency per dollar, the domestic price is P, and the foreign price is P*, then the real exchange rate is defined as

e(P/P*)

according to the liquidity preference theory, the money supply should shift if the fed

engaged in open-market operations

a country produces $3 billion of foreign-produced goods and services and sells $2 billion dollars of domestically produced goods and services to foreign countries. it has

exports of $2 billion and a trade deficit of $1 billion

purchasing-power parity implies that the nominal exchange rate given as foreign currency per unit of us currency must rise if the price levels in

increase both us exports and us net exports

increase us net exports, and decrease turkish net capital outflow

in 2008, the united states was in recession. which of the following things would you not expect to have happened?

increased real GDP

in the open-economy macroeconomic model, if the supply of loanable funds increases, net capital outflow

increases and the real exchange rate decreases

in the open-economy macroeconomic model, the

interest rate adjusts to equate national saving with the sum of investment and net capital outflow.

if the economy is initially at long-run equilibrium and aggregate demand declines, then in the long run the price level

is lower and output is the same as the original long run equilibrium

according to the liquidity preference, money demand

is negatively related to the interest rate, while the money supply is independent of the interest rate

if a country places tariffs on imported goods, then

its currency appreciates which reduces exports

suppose that a us citizen purchase more cars made in Korea, and Koreans purchase more bonds issued by us corporations. other things the same, these actions

lower both us net exports and us net capital outflows

the effect of an increase in the price level on the aggregate-demand curve is represented by a

movement to the left along a given aggregate-demand curve

in the open-economy macroeconomic model, the supply of loanable funds comes from

national saving

if a country has negative net capital outflows, then its net exports are

negative and its saving is smaller than its domestic investment

in the open-economy macroeconomic model, if a country's interest rate falls, then its

net capital outflow and its net exports rise

when the dollar depreciates, us

net exports rise, which increases the aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded

if a country has a negative net capital outflow, then

on net other countries are purchasing assets from it. this subtracts from its demand for domestically generated loanable funds.

in which case can we be sure aggregate demand demand shifts left overall?

people want to save more for retirement and the fed decreases the money supply

suppose the money-demand curve is currently MD1. if the current interest rate is r2, then

people will respond by selling interest-bearing bonds or by withdrawing money from interest-bearing bank accounts

point B represent a short run equilibrium, and point A represents a long run equilibrium

the sticky-wage theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that when the price level is lower than expected,

production is less profitable and employment falls

the model of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply explains the relationship between

real GDP and the price level

if purchasing power parity holds, then the value of the

real exchange rate is equal to one. a dollar buys as many goods in the us as it does overseas.

the aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded changes as the price level falls because

real wealth rises, interest rates fall, and the dollar depreciates

if the demand for dollars in the market of foreign currency exchange shifts right, then the exchange rate

rises and the quantity of dollars exchanged does not change

when a country imposes an import quota, its exchange rate

rises because the demand for dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange rises

if the us government went from a budget deficit to a budget surplus then

the interest rate and the real exchange rate would decrease
