Macroeconomics, 7e (Blanchard)Chapter 5: Goods and Financial Markets. The IS-LM Model5.1 The Goods Market and the IS Relation1) The IS curve representsA) the single level of output where the goods market is in equilibrium.B) the single level of output where financial markets are in equilibrium.C) the combinations of output and the interest rate where the money market is in equilibrium.D) the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium.E) none of the aboveAnswer: DDiff: 12) The IS curve will shift to the right when which of the following occurs?A) an increase in the money supplyB) an increase in government spendingC) a reduction in the interest rateD) all of the aboveE) none of the aboveAnswer: BDiff: 23) Which of the following occurs as the economy moves leftward along a given IS curve?A) An increase in the interest rate causes investment spending to decrease.B) An increase in the interest rate causes money demand to increase.C) An increase in the interest rate causes a reduction in the money supply.D) A reduction in government spending causes a reduction in demand for goods.E) An increase in taxes causes a reduction in demand for goods.Answer: ADiff: 24) During 2008 in the United States, consumer confidence fell significantly. Which of the following will occur as a result of this reduction in consumer confidence?A) The LM curve will shift up.B) The LM curve will shift down.C) The IS curve will shift rightward.D) The IS curve will shift leftward.E) The IS curve will shift rightward, and the LM curve will shift up.Answer: DDiff: 25) Suppose policy makers decide to reduce taxes. This fiscal policy action will cause which of the following to occur?A) The LM curve shifts and the economy moves along the IS curve.B) The IS curve shifts and the economy moves along the LM curve.C) Both the IS and LM curves shift.D) Neither the IS nor the LM curve shifts.E) Output will change causing a change in money demand and a shift of the LM curve. Answer: BDiff: 26) Suppose fiscal policy makers implement a policy to reduce the size of a budget deficit. Based on the IS-LM model, we know with certainty that the following will occur as a result of this fiscal policy action.A) Investment spending will decrease.B) Investment spending will increase.C) There will be no change in investment spending.D) Investment spending may increase, decrease, or not change.E) none of the aboveAnswer: DDiff: 37) For this question, assume that investment spending depends only on the interest rate and no longer depends on output. Given this information, a reduction in government spendingA) will cause investment to decrease.B) will cause investment to increase.C) may cause investment to increase or to decrease.D) will have no effect on output.E) will cause a reduction in output and have no effect on the interest rate.Answer: BDiff: 38) Suppose investment spending is not very sensitive to the interest rate. Given this information, we know thatA) the IS curve should be relatively flat.B) the IS curve should be relatively steep.C) the LM curve should be relatively flat.D) the LM curve should be relatively steep.E) neither the IS nor the LM curve will be affected.Answer: BDiff: 29) Explain the determinants of investment. Include in your answer an explanation of how a change in each determinant affects investment.Answer: Investment depends on the level of sales/output and on the interest rate. As output changes, the demand for goods will change and firms will change investment so that their capacity changes with the level of economic activity (and demand). I also depends on the interest rate. As the interest rate rises, the cost of borrowing rises. Firms will cut back on investment as borrowing costs rise.Diff: 210) What is the IS relation? Explain why IS curve is downward sloping.Answer: The IS relation shows the combinations of the interest rate and the level of output that are consistent with equilibrium in the goods market. An increase in the interest rate leads to a decline in output. Consequently, the IS curve is downward sloping.Diff: 211) Graphically derive the IS curve from the goods market equilibrium.Answer: Suppose the initial equilibrium in the goods market is at point A with interest rate i. Suppose now that the interest rate increases from its initial value i to a higher value i'. The increase in the interest rate decreases investment. The decrease in investment leads to a decrease in output. Now the new equilibrium point is at A', with a higher value of i and lower value of Y. After we plot the combinations of i and Y when the goods market is in equilibrium, we can connect these two points (A and A') to get a downward sloping IS curve.Diff: 25.2 Financial Markets and the LM Relation1) For each interest rate, the LM curve illustrates the level of output whereA) the goods market is in equilibrium.B) inventory investment equals zero.C) money supply equals money demand.D) all of the aboveE) none of the aboveAnswer: CDiff: 22) The LM curve shifts down (or, equivalently, to the right) when which of the following occurs?A) an increase in taxesB) an increase in outputC) an open market sale of bonds by the central bankD) an increase in consumer confidenceE) none of the aboveAnswer: EDiff: 23) Which of the following statements is consistent with a given (i.e., fixed) LM curve?A) A reduction in the interest rate causes investment spending to increase.B) A reduction in the interest rate causes money demand to decrease.C) A reduction in the interest rate causes an increase in the money supply.D) An increase in output causes an increase in demand for goods.E) An increase in output causes an increase in money demand.Answer: EDiff: 24) In late 2007 and early 2008, the U.S. Federal Reserve pursued expansionary monetary policy. Which of the following will occur as a result of this monetary policy action?A) The LM curve shifts down.B) The LM curve shifts up.C) The IS curve shifts rightward as the interest rate falls.D) The IS curve shifts leftward as the interest rate increases.E) none of the aboveAnswer: ADiff: 25) Suppose the demand for money is not very sensitive to the interest rate. Given this information, we know thatA) the IS curve should be relatively flat.B) the IS curve should be relatively steep.C) the LM curve should be relatively flat.D) the LM curve should be relatively steep.E) neither the IS nor the LM curve will be affected.Answer: DDiff: 36) Which of the following is the definition for the real supply of money?A) The stock of money measured in terms of goods, not dollars.B) The stock of high powered money only.C) The real value of currency in circulation only.D) The actual quantity of money, rather than the officially reported quantity.E) The ratio of the real GDP to the nominal money supply.Answer: ADiff: 17) First, define the LM curve. Second, explain why it has its particular shape.Answer: The LM curve illustrates the combinations of the interest rate and level of output that maintain financial market equilibrium. The curve is upward sloping because as income increases, money demand will rise. This increase in money demand will cause an excess demand for money and an excess supply of bonds. Bond prices will fall and the interest rate will increase until equilibrium is restored.Diff: 25.3 Putting the IS and the LM Relations Together1) Suppose the economy is currently operating on both the LM curve and the IS curve. Which of the following is true for this economy?A) Production equals demand.B) The quantity supplied of bonds equals the quantity demanded of bonds.C) The money supply equals money demand.D) Financial markets are in equilibrium.E) all of the aboveAnswer: EDiff: 12) Suppose the economy is operating on the LM curve but not on the IS curve. Given this information, we know thatA) the goods market is in equilibrium and the money market is not in equilibrium.B) the money market and bond markets are in equilibrium and the goods market is not in equilibrium.C) the money market and goods market are in equilibrium and the bond market is not in equilibrium.D) the money, bond and goods markets are all in equilibrium.E) neither the money, bond, nor goods markets are in equilibrium.Answer: BDiff: 23) Suppose the current level of output and the interest rate are such that the economy is operating on neither the IS nor LM curve. Which of the following is true for this economy?A) Production does not equal demand.B) The money supply does not equal money demand.C) The quantity supplied of bonds does not equal the quantity demanded of bonds.D) Financial markets are not in equilibrium.E) all of the aboveAnswer: EDiff: 24) An increase in the money supply will cause an increase in which of the following variables?A) outputB) investmentC) consumptionD) all of the aboveE) none of the aboveAnswer: DDiff: 25) Suppose there is an increase in consumer confidence.

effects of changes in i on desired money holdings by individualsD) the combinations of i and Y that maintain equilibrium in financial marketsAnswer: DDiff: 122) Based on our understanding of the IS-LM model that takes into account dynamics, we know that a reduction in the money supply will causeA) an immediate drop in Y and immediate increase in i.B) an immediate increase in i and no initial change in Y.C) a gradual increase in i and gradual reduction in Y.D) none of the aboveAnswer: BDiff: 223) Based on our understanding of the IS-LM model that takes into account dynamics, we know that a reduction in government spending will causeA) an immediate drop in Y and immediate increase in i.B) an immediate reduction in i and no initial change in Y.C) a gradual reduction in i and gradual reduction in Y.D) a gradual reduction in i and an immediate reduction in Y.Answer: CDiff: 224) Based on our understanding of the IS-LM model that takes into account dynamics, we know that an increase in the money supply will causeA) an immediate increase in i and no initial change in Y.B) an immediate decrease in i and no initial change in Y.C) a gradual decrease in i and gradual increase in Y.D) none of the aboveAnswer: BDiff: 225) Based on our understanding of the IS-LM model that takes into account dynamics, we know that an increase in government spending will causeA) a gradual increase in i and gradual increase in Y.B) an immediate increase in Y and immediate drop in i.C) an immediate increase in i and no initial change in Y.D) a gradual increase in i and an immediate increase in Y.Answer: ADiff: 226) An increase in government spending will likely have which of the following effects?A) a rightward shift in the IS curveB) a leftward shift in the IS curveC) an upward shift in the LM curveD) a downward shift in the LM curveAnswer: ADiff: 227) A reduction in the reserve depos it ratio, θ, will most likely have which of the following effects?A) a rightward shift in the IS

IS curve does not shift.B) the IS curve shift leftward.C) the IS curve shifts rightward.D) the LM curve shifts downward.Answer: BDiff: 230) Which of the following triggered the U.S. recession of 2001?A) decline in investment demandB) decline in consumption demandC) increase in budget deficitD) increase in trade deficitAnswer: ADiff: 231) The IS curve will shift to the left when which of the following occurs?A) a reduction in the money supplyB) a reduction in government spendingC) an increase in the interest rateD) all of the aboveE) none of the aboveAnswer: BDiff: 232) Which of the following occurs as the economy moves rightward along a given IS curve?A) A reduction in the interest rate causes investment spending to decrease.B) A reduction in the interest rate causes money demand to increase.C) A reduction in the interest rate causes a reduction in the money supply.D) An increase in government spending causes a reduction in demand for goods.E) A reduction in taxes causes a reduction in demand for goods.Answer: ADiff: 233) When the central bank pursues contractionary monetary policy, we that this policy will result in an increase in the interest rate, a reduction in investment, a reduction in demand, and a lower level of equilibrium output. Explain what happens to the position of the IS curve as the central bank pursues contractionary monetary policy.Answer: Changes in the interest rate do cause changes in investment, demand, and output. However, they do not cause shifts of the IS curve. Changes in the interest rate cause movements along the IS curve.Diff: 234) A fiscal expansion (e.g. a tax cut) will result in an increase in income, an increase in money demand, and an increase in the equilibrium interest rate in financial markets. Explain what happens to the position of the LM curve as policy makers pursue expansionary fiscal policy. Answer: The fiscal expansion will cause an increase in output. However, changes in Y only cause movements along the LM curve. The effects of changes in Y on the interest rate are embedded in the shape of the LM curve.Diff: 2IS curve.Answer: A Fed sale of bonds will cause a reduction in H and a reduction in the money supply. This will cause an excess demand for money and the interest rate must increase to restore money market equilibrium. The LM curve will shift up as a result of this to reflect the now higher interest rate. The IS curve does not shift as a result of this. We would simply observe a movement along the IS curve.Diff: 236) Explain in detail what effect a reduction in government spending will have on: (1) the LM curve; and (2) the IS curve.Answer: A reduction in taxes will cause an increase in disposable income and an increase in consumption. The rise in C will cause an increase in demand and the equilibrium level of output in the goods market will be higher. This is reflected in a rightward shift in the IS curve. Goods market events such as this will not cause a shift in the LM curve (only a movement along it). Diff: 237) Based on your understanding of the IS-LM model, graphically illustrate and explain what effect a reduction in consumer confidence will have on output, the interest rate, and investment. Answer: A reduction in consumer confidence will cause a reduction in consumption and, therefore, a reduction in demand and a leftward shift in the IS curve. As Y decreases, money demand will decrease causing the interest rate to fall. The effects on I are ambiguous. The lower Y will cause I to fall while the lower interest rate will cause I to increase.Diff: 238) Based on your understanding of the IS-LM model, graphically illustrate and explain what effect a monetary expansion will have on output, the interest rate, and investment.Answer: An increase in M will cause the LM curve to shift down and the interest rate to fall. As the interest rate falls, firms will increase investment causing an increase in demand and subsequent increase in output. So, the interest rate will fall and Y will rise. I will be higher due to the rise in Y and drop in the interest rate.Diff: 239) Increases in the budget deficit are believed to cause reductions in investment. Based on your understanding of the IS-LM model, will a fiscal policy action that causes a reduction in the budget deficit cause an increase in investment? Explain.Answer: A policy that causes a reduction in the budget deficit will have an ambiguous effect on investment. Output will fall which will tend to depress I. However, the interest rate will also fall which will tend to increase I. I could increase, decrease, or remain unchanged.Diff: 2the IS curve.Answer: A Fed purchase of bonds will cause an increase in H and an increase in the money supply. This will cause an excess supply of money and the interest rate must decline to restore money market equilibrium. The LM curve will shift down as a result of this to reflect the now lower interest rate. The IS curve does not shift as a result of this. We would simply observe a movement along the IS curve.Diff: 241) Explain in detail what effect an increase in government spending will have on: (1) the LM curve; and (2) the IS curve.Answer: An increase in government spending will cause an increase in demand and the equilibrium level of output in the goods market will be higher. This is reflected in a rightward shift in the IS curve. Goods market events such as this will not cause a shift in the LM curve (only a movement along it).Diff: 25.4 Using a Policy Mix1) Suppose there is a simultaneous fiscal expansion and monetary expansion. We know with certainty thatA) output will increase.B) output will decrease.C) the interest rate will increase.D) the interest rate will decrease.E) both output and the interest rate will increase.Answer: ADiff: 22) Suppose there is a simultaneous fiscal expansion and monetary contraction. We know with certainty thatA) output will increase.B) output will decrease.C) the interest rate will increase.D) the interest rate will decrease.E) both output and the interest rate will increase.Answer: CDiff: 23) For this question, assume that investment spending depends only on output and no longer depends on the interest rate. Given this information, an increase in government spendingA) will cause investment to decrease.B) will cause investment to increase.C) may cause investment to increase or to decrease.D) will have no effect on output.E) will cause an increase in output and have no effect on the interest rate.Answer: BDiff: 34) A reasonable dynamic assumption for the IS-LM model is thatA) the economy is always on both the IS and LM curves.B) the economy is always on the IS curve, but moves only slowly to the LM curve.C) the economy is always on the LM curve, but moves only slowly to the IS curve.D) the money market is quick to adjust, but the bond market adjusts more slowly.E) adjustment to the new IS-LM equilibrium is instantaneous after an LM shift, but not after an IS shift.Answer: CDiff: 25) Under the reasonable dynamic assumptions discussed in the text, a monetary contraction should result inA) an immediate rise in the interest rate, and no further interest rate changes.B) an immediate rise in the interest rate, and then a fall in the interest rate over time.C) an immediate rise in the interest rate, and then a further rise over time.D) a very gradual but steady rise in the interest rate to its new equilibrium level.E) no change in the interest rate initially, and then a sudden rise to its new equilibrium value. Answer: BDiff: 26) For this question, assume that investment spending depends only on the interest rate and no longer depends on output. Given this information, a reduction in the money supplyA) will cause investment to decrease.B) will cause investment to increase.C) may cause investment to increase or to decrease.D) will have no effect on output.E) will cause a reduction in output and have no effect on the interest rate.Answer: ADiff: 37) Suppose there is a Fed purchase of bonds and simultaneous tax cut. We know with certainty that this combination of policies must causeA) an increase in the interest rate (i).B) a reduction in i.C) an increase in output (Y).D) a reduction in Y.Answer: CDiff: 28) Suppose there is a simultaneous Fed sale of bonds and increase in consumer confidence. We know with certainty that these two simultaneous events will causeA) an increase in the interest rate (i).B) a reduction in i.C) an increase in output (Y).D) a reduction in Y.Answer: ADiff: 29) Suppose there is a simultaneous central bank purchase of bonds and increase in taxes. We know with certainty that this combination of policies must causeA) an increase in the interest rate (i).B) a reduction in i.C) an increase in output (Y).D) a reduction in Y.Answer: BDiff: 210) Suppose there is a simultaneous central bank sale of bonds and tax increase. We know with certainty that this combination of policies must causeA) an increase in the interest rate (i).B) a reduction in i.C) an increase in output (Y).D) a reduction in Y.Answer: DDiff: 211) First, briefly explain what is meant by the policy mix. Second, explain what effect different policy mixes might have on the level of output, investment, and the interest rate.Answer: The policy mix refers to the possible combinations of monetary (exp. or contr.) and fiscal (exp. or contr.) that can be simultaneously implemented. There are a number of different answers that could be given to the latter part of the question. The effects on output, the interest rate, and investment will depend on the type of mix.Diff: 212) Use the IS-LM model to answer this question. Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in government spending and reduction in the money supply. Explain what effect this particular policy mix will have on output and the interest rate. Based on your analysis, do we know with certainty what effect this policy mix will have on investment? Explain.Answer: In this case, the LM curve shifts up and the IS curve shifts to the right. The interest rate will clearly be higher. The effects on output depend on the relative magnitude of the two policies. The effects on I are also ambiguous. If output falls, I will be lower. However, it is possible that output will rise here which creates the ambiguity.Diff: 213) Use the IS-LM model to answer this question. Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in taxes and reduction in the money supply. Explain what effect this particular policy mix will have on output and the interest rate. Based on your analysis, do we know with certainty what effect this policy mix will have on investment? Explain.Answer: In this case, the LM curve shifts up and the IS curve shifts to the left. In this case, output will clearly fall. What happens to the interest rate depends on the relative magnitude of the two policies. The effects on I are again ambiguous.Diff: 214) Use the IS-LM model to answer this question. Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in government spending and increase in the money supply. Explain what effect this particular policy mix will have on output and the interest rate. Based on your analysis, do we know with certainty what effect this policy mix will have on investment? Explain.Answer: In this case, the LM curve shifts down and the IS curve shifts to the right. The output will clearly be higher. The effects on interest rate depend on the relative magnitude of the two policies. The effects on I are also ambiguous. If interest rate falls, I will be higher. However, it is possible that interest rate will rise here which creates the ambiguity.Diff: 25.5 How does the IS-LM Model Fit the Facts?1) Empirically it takes nearly ________ years for monetary policy to have its full effect on output.A) 2B) 1C) 3D) 4Answer: ADiff: 1。

第2篇古典理论:长期中的经济本篇主干知识框架:第3章 国民收入:源自何处,去向何方(一般均衡模型)本章分析的出发点(教材图3-1)本章主干知识框架:3.1 什么决定了产品与服务的总生产(略) 3.2 国民收入如何分配给生产要素:新古典分配理论②对任何一种生产要素支付的价格都取决于该要素服务的供给和需求。
由于已假设供给是固定的,所以供给曲线是一条垂直线。
需求曲线向下倾斜。
两曲线的交点决定了均衡的要素价格。
为了理解要素价格和收入分配,必须考察生产要素的需求,为此我们从研究一个典型企业使用多少生产要素的决策问题开始。
②新古典分配理论,neoclassical theory of distribution.3.2.1 企业如何决策→要素需求→要素价格(一)竞争性企业面临的决策:利润=PF (K,L )−WL −RK假设企业是竞争性的,将产出和投入的价格都视为由市场条件决定(价格接受者)。
(二)MPL ↓⇒劳动需求曲线大多数生产函数具有边际产量递减的性质:在资本量不变的情况下,随着劳动量的增加,劳动边际产量递减。
企业多雇佣一单位劳动的利润变化是: ∆利润=P x MPL-W 。
竞争性企业对劳动的需求由下式决定:P x MPL=W 或者MPL=W/P (实际工资)为了使利润最大化,企业雇佣劳动,直到劳动的边际产量等于实际工资这一点为止。
由于MPL 随着L 增加而递减,故MPL 曲线向下倾斜。
企业雇用工人知道司机工资等于MPL 位置。
因此,MPL 曲线也就是企业的劳动需求曲线。
(三)资本MPK(↓)与资本需求:MPK=R/P (实际租赁价格) (四)总结:总之,竞争性的追求利润最大化的企业关于要素使用的决策都遵循着一个简单规划:企业需要每一种生产要素,直到该要素的边际产量减少到等于其实际要素价值为止。
3.2.2 国民收入的划分经济利润=Y −MPL ∗L −MPK ∗K 或,Y =MPL ∗L +MPK ∗K +经济利润经济利润有多少呢? 若生产函数具有规模报酬不变的性质,则经济利润必为零。
23章答案一、概念题1.微观经济学(microeconomics)答:微观经济学指研究家庭和企业如何做出决策,以及他们如何在市场上相互交易的经济学。
微观经济学以市场经济中的单个消费者(或称家户、家庭)和生产者(或称厂商、企业)为研究对象,通过分析他们的消费决策或生产决策,来说明消费品和生产要素的价格的决定及其变动,进而说明稀缺性的资源如何得到最有效的配置。
微观经济学的理论目的是为了论证亚当·斯密“看不见的手”原理,这只“看不见的手”就是价格机制。
因此,微观经济学又被称为价格理论。
微观经济学主要解决的问题可以概括为:生产什么、生产多少、如何生产、为谁生产。
其基本假设为:(1)经济行为个体是进行自由的、分散化决策的理性经济人,即消费者追求自身效用的最大化,生产者追求自身利润的最大化。

2.宏观经济学(macroeconomics)答:宏观经济学是与“微观经济学”相对而言的,指研究整体经济现象,包括通货膨胀、失业和经济增长的经济学。
宏观经济学以国民经济总体作为考察对象,研究经济生活中有关总量的决定与变动,解释失业、通货膨胀、经济增长与波动、国际收支与汇率的决定与变动等经济中的宏观整体问题,所以又称之为总量经济学。
宏观经济学的中心和基础是总供给—总需求模型。
具体来说,宏观经济学主要包括总需求理论、总供给理论、失业与通货膨胀理论、经济周期与经济增长理论、开放经济理论、宏观经济政策等内容。
对宏观经济问题进行分析与研究的历史十分悠久,但现代意义上的宏观经济学直到20世纪30年代才得以形成和发展起来。
