Which of the following is true about WTO (World Trade Organization?
It was established in 1947.
|
It has succeeded to reduce the tariffs.
|
It prevented the use of non-tariff restrictions
|
It covers only the rules about commodity trade |
It ended the era of new protectionism |
The WTO, as well as the GATT, has succeeded to reduce the tariffs. However, countries have begun to use non-tariff restrictions instead of tariffs. This preference and increasing implementation of the non-tariff restrictions are mostly referred to new protectionism. In spite of the rules and regulations of the WTO, countries pretend to implement new types of non-tariff restrictions. The WTO is not very efficient in preventing the usage of the nontariff barriers.

What is the gain of investors from international economic transactions?
Increasing the production speed |
Helping to lower inflation rate |
Choosing the most profitable investment |
Higher GDP |
Lower production cost |
Consumers gain by meeting their demands with a lower price and higher quality variety of commodities. Producers gain by producing for a larger market with increased competition. Investors gain by choosing the most profitable investment from all around the globe.
5.Soru
How does the nominal exchange rate weighted by the consumer price index of the two countries refer to?
Nominal exchange rate
|
Equilibrium exchange rate
|
Real exchange rate
|
Cross exchange rate |
Market exchange rate |
Nominal exchange rate is the rate determined by the demand and supply of the foreign currency. However, the real exchange rate is the rate that considers the price differences, or in other words, the inflation in both countries. Thus, real exchange rate is the nominal exchange rate weighted by the consumer price index of the two countries.
6.Soru
Which of the following is defined as the cost changes that cause the displacement of the aggregate supply curve?
Investment gap
|
Demand shock
|
Money supply
|
Supply shock |
Equilibrium price |
The cost changes that cause the displacement of the aggregate supply curve are called cost or supply shock. Economic growth causes the aggregate supply curve to shift to the right. Full employment is determined by current production factors and technology. Accordingly, if the labor force (or the productivity of the labor force) and capital stock (or the productivity of the capital) increase, the AS curve will shift to the right.

The GATT covers the rules and regulations of international commodity trade. |
WTO (World Trade Organization) is the main agreement which consists of rules on commodity trade. |
Today, WTO is responsible for the global trade rules. Although it has many agreements to regulate the global trade, the main agreement is still the GATT which consists of rules on commodity trade. The WTO agreements not only cover commodity trade but also services trade and intellectual property rights. They set the principles of making a freer trade and the permitted exceptions. They include the commitments of countries to lower the import tariffs and other trade restrictions.

Which of the following option is the reason for people to hold money in their wallet?
Variety of the products |
Other customers’ tastes |
Prices of the goods and services |
Number of the firms |
Number of the customers |
The reason you hold money in your wallet to buy something is that acquisition periods of income are generally not matching with spending periods. You have to hold an amount of money as much as the amount you wish to spend. The other factor determining the amount of money you want to hold is prices.
11.Soru
Which of the following is equal to CPF (consumption possibilities frontier) at the autarky?
Budget Line |
PPF |
MC |
TAC |
TU |
At the autarky, production possibilities frontier (PPF) and the consumption possibilities frontier (CPF) of a country are identical.
12.Soru
Which of the following option explains inefficiency of bartering?
Cause low labor quality |
Production costs of products are not equal |
No middle man in the market |
No special market space |
Prevent specialization in division of labor |
The necessity of double coincidence of wants and uncertainty about the rate of exchange in a barter economy cause inefficiency by preventing specialization in division of labor. Thus, since the barter requires too much time and to bargain other people one by one, it is not a desired way.
13.Soru
What is the result when the cost of producing a unit of a commodity falls as its output rate increase?
Economics of scale
|
Imperfect competition
|
Factor abundance
|
Capital-intensive commodity |
Absolute advantage |
Economies of scale exist when the cost of producing a unit of a commodity falls as its output rate increases.
14.Soru
Which of the following is the fact that the early trade theories did not take into consideration?
Imperfect competition |
High investment cost |
Low household savings |
Labor’s low qualification |
High capital flow |
The new trade theories base a great deal of international trade flows on differences in the development and spread of new technologies among the countries, economies of scale and imperfect competition. These are the facts which the early trade theories did not take into consideration.
15.Soru
_____ is the increase (change) in the output produced that results in one-unit increase (change) in labor input.
Real GDP
|
Nominal GDP
|
Production function
|
The marginal product of labor |
The marginal product of capital |
The marginal product of labor is the increase (change) in the output produced that results in one-unit increase (change) in labor input.
16.Soru
If the government increases its expenditures by 100 liras and completely finances it by increasing taxes, what is the value of change in GDP?
100 liras increase
|
100 liras decrease
|
200 liras increase
|
GDP does not change |
The change cannot be calculated without knowing the value of marginal propensity to consume or to save |
In case of changes in public expenditures and taxes are the same, the numerical value of net multiplier being equal to 1 is called as balanced budget multiplier. Since the value of the multiplier in this case will become 1, then ΔY = (1) x ΔG and ΔY= 100.
17.Soru
Which of the following is the main sub-account of Capital and Financial Account?
Patent rights |
Financial account |
Intellectual property rights and licenses |
Commodity exports |
Balance of payments |
Capital and Financial Account: It consists of two sub-accounts, Capital Account and Financial Account. Patent rights, intellectual property rights and licenses are recorded under the Capital Account. It constitutes the smaller part of the whole account. Financial Account is the main sub-account of the Capital and Financial Account.
18.Soru
Which of the following occurs if there aren’t sufficient additions to capital stock of the economy?
Capital stock decreases and then aggregate supply curve shifts to the right
|
Capital stock decreases and then aggregate supply curve shifts to the left
|
Capital stock increases and then aggregate supply curve shifts to the left
|
Capital stock increases and then aggregate supply curve shifts to the right |
Capital stock stays constant and then aggregate supply curve does not shift |
If there aren’t sufficient additions to capital stock, there will be investment deficit in the economy. Therefore, it creates a reduction capital stock and shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left.
19.Soru
What is the goal of a contractionary economic policy?
Increasing money supply
|
Decreasing consumptions
|
Reducing aggregate demand
|
Increasing expenditure |
Controlling unemployment |
The economic policy is influential on aggregate demand, as it is contractionary or expansionary. When the fiscal policy is applied, the tools used are the government expenditure (G) and the taxes (T), while the money supply (MS) used in the monetary policy. An expanding economic policy is to stimulate the economy by increasing the aggregate demand. We have shown that this goal can be achieved with an increase in government spending or with an increase in money supply and a reduction in taxation. The goal of a contractionary economic policy is to reduce aggregate demand and slow down economic activity. We have determined that this objective can be achieved by a decrease in government expenditures and money supply, and an increase in taxes.
20.Soru
Which of the following occurs in an economy where the stagflation is experienced?
Production and prices increase
|
Production and prices decrease
|
Production increases while prices decrease
|
Production decreases while prices increase |
Production does not change while prices decrease |
The process in which prices and unemployment increase (means, at the same time, that decreasing production) at the same time is known as stagflation (inflation in stagnation).
