Intermediate Macroeconomics I
Economics
(1) Multiple Choice Questions
Consider the static equilibrium model in Chapter 5:
Production function: Y=zKN
Utility function: U=min[C,al]
Moreover, K=2,z=1,G=2,h=10,a=1
1. What is the PPF and the MRT?
(a) C=18-2l and 2
(b) C=18-2l and 1
(c) C=20-l and 2
(d) C=20-l and 1
2. Suppose the utility parameter โ€œaโ€ increases from 1 to 4, what is the effect on
employment?
(a) Increases from 4 to 5
(b) Increases from 4 to 6
(c) Increases from 3 to 6
(d) Increases from 4 to 7
3. Suppose the utility parameter โ€œaโ€ increases from 1 to 4, what is the effect on
the utility level?
(a) Increases from 6 to 10
(b) Increases from 6 to 12
(c) decreases from 10 to 6
(d) decreases from 12 to 6
4. Suppose the utility parameter โ€œaโ€ increases from 1 to 4, what is the effect on
the wage rate?

(b) decreases
(c) unchanged
(d) none of the above

  1. Suppose the capital stock increases to 4 and G increases to 5, what is the new equilibrium? (a) C=8, Ns=2, Y= (b) C=8, Ns=2, Y= (c) C=7, Ns=3, Y= (d) C=5, Ns=3, Y=

(2) Short Questions Consider the model of consumption-saving choice in Chapter 6: Suppose Y=2, Yโ€™=6, t=tโ€™=0.

  1. Suppose r=0, what is the optimal choice of the agent? Is the agent a lender?
  2. Suppose r=2, what is the optimal choice of the agent? Is the agent a lender?
  3. Suppose r increases from 0 to 2, decompose the effect on consumption:

Total effect = Sub. effect + Income effect C ๏ƒ  ๏ƒ  ๏ƒ  Cโ€™ ๏ƒ ^ ๏ƒ ^ ๏ƒ
