Which of the following is consistent with an active approach to policy?

 c. The short-run aggregate supply curve being slow to shift in the presence of a recessionary gap
  d. The size of the multiplier being irrelevant
 e. The aggregate demand curve being slow to shift in the presence of a recessionary gap

QUESTION 2

For those who favor an active approach, public policy changes are necessary to cure a recessionary gap because:
 a. the short-run aggregate supply curve will otherwise shift quickly to the right.
 b. prices and wages are flexible downward but not upward.
 c. the required decrease in output can be achieved only by shifting the aggregate demand curve.
 d. real wages must fall in order to increase aggregate supply in the economy.
 e. falling money wages will cause the AD curve to shift leftward unless policy counters this movement.

QUESTION 3

According to the active policy approach, the elimination of a recessionary policy _____.
 a. can only be achieved by decreasing wages
 b. requires a public policy of wage and price controls
 c. should be accomplished by stimulating aggregate demand

 c. the economy was experiencing a recessionary gap
  d. self-correction is not the process that is occurring

QUESTION 5

The reason why self-correction works to close a recessionary gap is because:
 a. a labor shortage causes wages to increase.
  b. a labor surplus causes wages to increase.
  c. a labor shortage causes wages to fall.
 d. a labor surplus causes wages to fall.
 e. a labor surplus causes price to fall.

QUESTION 6

Which of the following is not consistent with a self-correcting economy?
 a. Falling wages that correct a recessionary gap
 b. Falling prices that correct a recessionary gap
 c. Rising prices that correct an expansionary gap
 d. Tendency of the short-run aggregate supply to shift until it intersects aggregate demand at potential GDP
