  • 2. 

    Which of the following causes a positive demand shock?

    • A decrease in wealth

    • Positive consumer expectations for the future

    • A decrease in government spending

    • An increase in taxes

    • A decrease in business investment

    Correct Answer
    A. Positive consumer expectations for the future
    Explanation
    Positive consumer expectations for the future cause a positive demand shock. When consumers have positive expectations about the future, they are more likely to increase their spending on goods and services. This increase in consumer spending leads to an increase in demand, which can stimulate economic growth and activity. Positive consumer expectations can create a sense of optimism and confidence in the economy, encouraging consumers to make purchases and invest in the future. This, in turn, can have a positive impact on businesses and overall economic performance.

    Which of the following statements is true if this economy is operating at P1 and Y1?I. The level of aggregate output equals potential output II. It is in short-run macroeconomic equilibriumIII. It is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium

    • I only

    • II only

    • III only

    • I and III only

    • I, II and III

    Correct Answer
    A. II only
    Explanation
    If the economy is operating at P1 and Y1, it means that it is in short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. This is because short-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs when the aggregate output (Y) is equal to the aggregate demand (AD) at the current price level (P). In this case, the statement II only is true. The other statements, I and III, are not necessarily true as they depend on different conditions and factors.
