JEOPARDY! DOUBLE JEOPARDY DOUBLE JEOPARDY The GapMultiplierLinesReview

What kind of gap will likely result if there is “not enough” spending? Recessionary (unemployment) gap

What will result if the demand equilibrium falls to the left of the potential GDP? Recessionary (unemployment) gap

What will result if the demand equilibrium falls to the right of the potential GDP? Inflationary gap

How is it possible to have a recessionary gap without currently being is a recession? Output and income are increasing, while still falling short of full employment

A classical economist would recommend doing this when experiencing a recessionary gap. Nothing

An additional dollar introduced into the economy is likely to be spent many times over. This phenomenon is best described by what key term? The multiplier

This reduces the size of the multiplier Inflation (Positive slope of supply curve)

If the aggregate supply curve is vertical, the actual value of the multiplier will be this. Zero

The Marginal Propensity to Consume is.8. What is the (oversimplified) multiplier? 5

The multiplier may be expressed as the equation that describes the sum of an infinite geometric progression. What is this equation? Multiplier = 1/1-MPC

Graphically, demand equilibrium can be found at the intersection of what two lines? 45 degree, Aggregate Expenditure

The line that displays all of the points at which demand may be at an equilibrium. 45 degree line

The graph of the total quantity of goods and services produced at each possible price level. Aggregate Supply Curve

Higher wages will lead the aggregate supply curve to shift in which direction? Left

A shift in the demand curve will correspond exactly to what? Multiplied change in expenditure

This is calculated by pricing several hundred items in a market basket and is used to compare real price levels. CPI

Complete the formula: _________ = Aggregate Demand (GDP) C+I+G+(X-IM)

What will result if consumer spending exceeds income? Dis-saving

Shows the relationship between total consumption and total disposable income Consumption Function

Complete the equation Income – Taxes = ? DI

 C = 40.  DI = 50. MPC = ?.8

This accounts for 70-80% of the cost of all inputs across the economy Wages

Profit per unit = ? Price – cost per unit

The amount of output produced by a unit of input Productivity

DAILY DOUBLE

This term is defined as a situation in which neither consumers nor firms have any incentive to change their behavior. Equilibrium

Inflation that occurs when the economy is growing slowly or in recession Stagflation

List two factors that may influence investment (I). Confidence/Expectations, Growth of Demand, Technical Change, Interest Rates, or Taxes

An increase in consumer spending that stems from an increase in consumer incomes. Induced increase in consumption

An increase in consumer spending without any increase in income. Autonomous increase in consumption

DAILY DOUBLE!

The idea that an effort by a nation to save more may simply reduce national income and fail to raise total saving. Paradox of Thrift

As aggregate demand increases, what are net exports likely to do? Decrease

If labor is responsive to changes in price levels, what kind of slope will AS have? Vertical

If labor insists on maintaining rigid wages, what will happen to price levels as the demand curve shifts? It will change very little

If the AS curve is relatively flat, how will the real multiplier relate to the simplified multiplier? It will be very close

If labor insists on maintaining rigid wages how will the real multiplier relate to the simplified multiplier? It will be very close

If labor’s contracts are directly linked to fluctuations in the CPI, what will be the value of the real multiplier? Zero
