The term “full employment” refers to a situation in the economy …
Select one:
A.
in which there is only frictional and structural unemployment.
B.
where everybody who wants to work is employed.
C.
in which there is only cyclical unemployment and frictional unemployment.
D.
where there is no unemployment in the economy.
Feedback
Your answer is incorrect. Given the different types of unemployment, frictional
unemployment always exists due to normal labour market turnover where workers
change jobs and are considered voluntary unemployment. Structural unemployment is
more long-term unemployment, and it is slow to fix as it is linked to the changing
structure of the economy that requires either migration or re-training of the workers.
Therefore, the term full employment refers to a situation in the economy in which there
is no cyclical (or demand-deficient) unemployment.
The correct answer is:
in which there is only frictional and structural unemployment.

D.

Feedback
Your answer is correct. The first thing you must identify is on which market the initial
impact is felt. Your starting point is the events in this initial market, which will
eventually spill over into the other market. The initial impact of a change in taxation is
on the goods market and then on the financial market. The first impact of a change in
government spending is on the goods market, where it influences several variables,
which eventually affect the financial market. If the consumer confidence in the economy
worsens, the impact will be first on the goods market and then on the financial market.
The correct answer is:
The initial impact of a change in the interest rate is on the financial market, after which it
influences the goods market.

Expansionary Contractionary
fiscal policy monetary policy
The demand for goods Higher Lower

B.
level of output and income is lower; level of output and income is higher
C.
interest rate is unchanged; interest rate is higher
D.
investment spending is higher; investment spending is lower
Feedback
Your answer is incorrect. A positive relationship exists between the level of output and
income and the quantity demand for money and the quantity for money. In the case of
an expansionary fiscal policy, the level of output and income is higher (Y↑ → Md↑ → M↑).
In the case of contractionary monetary policy, the level of output and income is lower (Y↓
→ Md↓ → M↓).
The correct answer is:
level of output and income is higher; level of output and income is lower
