Which of the following is not the result of reduction in planned investment expenditures?
Increased money supply
|
Increased price level
|
Higher interest rate
|
High government expenditures |
Low investment expenditures |
The increase in the price level leads to an increase in the demand for money. If the supply of money is constant, increase in money demand will increase interest rates in the money market. An increase in the interest rate will result in a reduction in planned investment expenditures. This new emerging equilibrium position in the economy corresponds to high government expenditures, low investment expenditures, higher interest rate and increasing price level.

One way of increasing the national saving is increasing the real interest rates. What is the other way to increase national savings?
Increasing the quality of education |
Applying expanded monetary policiy |
Raising real interest rate |
Encouraging the firms to put more investment |
Raising government savings |
All growth models mentioned emphasize the importance of saving rate in economic growth. So, there is a need for the government policies to improve the saving rates. Saving rate can be increased by raising the real interest rate. Increase in real interest rate encourages savers for saving. However, it should be noticed that the empirical study results show that the response of saving to changes in the real interest rate seems to be small. Another way to increase national saving is to increase government saving.
8.Soru
Which of the following is not among the weaknesses of the of HDI?
The HDI allows us to compare the level of development of countries.
|
It uses GDP per capita, but there is no indication of the distribution of income in the country.
|
Development is largely about freedom, but the index does not directly measure this.
|
Giving equal weight to the three main components is rather arbitrary |
The HDI index does not distinguish between different rates of development within a country |
Providing us with a chance to compare the level of development of countries is more like a strength rather than being a weakness.
9.Soru
In the figure, which of the following is the reason for shifting aggregate demand curve from AD0 to AD1?
Increase in money supply
|
Increase in taxes
|
Decrease in prices
|
Increase in unemployment |
Decrease in government expenditures |
Factors that shift the aggregate supply to the right include increase in government expenditures, decrease in taxes and increase in money supply.
10.Soru
Which of the following factors affecting the firm’s production decisions does not cause the aggregate supply curve to shift?
Economic growth
|
Cost shocks
|
Central bank
|
Natural factors |
Investment gap |
Each factor affecting the firm’s production decisions causes the AS curve to shift. Some of these factors are cost shocks, economic growth, investment gap, natural factors and war.
11.Soru
_____ is the quantity of money that economic agents want to hold.
Money supply
|
Money demand
|
Speculative demand
|
Precautionary demand |
Deposit money |
Correct answer is B.
12.Soru
Let’s assume;
- the prices are at a certain level and the central bank increases the money supply.
- the aggregate supply curve is constant
According to above assumptions how equilibrium price (P) and equilibrium income level(Y) change?
decreases Y decreases |
P increases Y decreases |
P increases Y increases |
P does not change Y increases |
P increases Y does not change |
When the prices are at a certain level, the central bank increases the money supply, causing the interest rate to fall in the money market. The decline in interest rates increases planned investment expenditures and therefore aggregate expenditures. The increase in money supply is the increase in production at a certain price level. In this case, the AD curve will shift to the right. Assume that the aggregate supply curve is constant, the aggregate demand curve shifs to the right from AD1 to AD2. In this case, the equilibrium shifts from point D1 to point D2. Eventually, the general price level in the economy increases from P1 to P2, while the equilibrium income level increases from Y1 to Y2.
13.Soru
Which of the following system use currency depreciation and currency appreciation?
Unflexible exchange rate system |
Expanded monetary policy system |
Free riding system |
International trade system |
Flexible exchange rate system |
In the flexible exchange rate system, currency depreciation is the fall in the value of one currency in terms of another currency. On the other hand, currency appreciation is the rise in the value of one currency in terms of another currency. Currency depreciation and currency appreciation are the terms which are only used in the flexible exchange rate system.
14.Soru
Which of the following does not cause to shift aggregate supply curve to the left?
Increasing input prices
|
Increasing wages
|
Favorable weather conditions
|
Natural disasters |
Investment gap |
Favorable weather conditions are one of the factors that increase the aggregate supply and, therefore, it shifts the AS curve to the right.
15.Soru
Which of the following shows the negative relationship between price level and output quantity?
Aggregate supply curve
|
Aggregate expenditure curve
|
Aggregate demand curve
|
Investment demand curve |
Saving supply curve |
Aggregate demand curve represents the negative relationship between price level and output quantity.
16.Soru
Which of the following is not one of the assumptions of the Solow Growth Model?
The economy consists of one sector producing one good which is used for either investment or consumption
|
Since the economy is a closed one, then the saving is equal to investment
|
The economy is always producing its potential which is the full employment level of output
|
In the model, the rate of technological growth, population growth and the depreciation rate of capital are all determined exogenously |
It is closed economy with government |
The assumptions of the Solow Growth Model it is closed economy without governmentç.
17.Soru
If economy recovers more than required and there are signs of inflationary threats, what would monetary authorities do according to contractionary monetary policy?
Raise money supply
|
Change discount rate
|
Hold more reserves
|
Sell transactions |
Increase interest rates |
Monetary policy is the decisions made by central bank to affect the quantity of money in the country. While making monetary policy decisions, the objective of government is to achieve and maintain full employment without causing inflation. When a slowdown occurs in economic activities and economy signals an upcoming recession, central bank will decide to raise money supply and decrease the interest rates. Specifically, monetary authorities (institutions responsible for implementing the monetary policy, primarily central bank) will facilitate the availability of credits. This kind of monetary policy is named as loose or expansionary monetary policy. On the other hand, if economy recovers more than required and there are signs of inflationary threats, monetary authorities would decide to slowdown the money supply and to increase interest rates. This kind of monetary policy is named as tight or contractionary monetary policy.
18.Soru
Which of the following models answers the question: ”What’s the relationship between the long-run economic growth and the saving, population growth rate, and rate?”
The Solow Growth Model
|
Standard Equilibrium Growth Model
|
Endogenous Growth Model
|
The Harrod-Domar model |
Proximate Growth Model |
The Harrod-Domar growth model leaves many questions about the determinants of growth and the differences in level of development among the economies. It relates economic growth to the capital growth without answering the questions such as;”What’s the relationship between the long-run economic growth and the saving, population growth rate, and rate?”
19.Soru
Which of the following statement explains the reason for nominal growth rates are bigger than the real growth rates?
the difference represents the value changes of money |
the difference represents the price changes in the time period. |
the difference represents the different values of the physical capital |
the difference represents the growth rate of the country |
the difference represents the differences in climate conditions |
By comparing the nominal and real growth rates, we can easily notice that the real growth rates are smaller than the nominal growth rates and the difference represents the price changes in the time period.
20.Soru
