Name Date Period APE Macro Unit 4: Measurement of Economic Performance Guided Reading Packet #4 Objectives: These are the key concepts that you must be able to answer after Unit 4. Chapter 25-26: Explain how long-run growth can be measured by the increase in real GDP per capita, how this measure has changed over time, and how it varies across countries. Explain why productivity is the key to long-run growth and how productivity is driven by physical capital, human capital, and technological progress. Understand the factors that explain why growth rates differ so much among countries. How growth has varied among several important regions of the world and why the convergence hypothesis applies to economically advanced countries, but only conditionally to many poorer countries. Explain the relationship between savings and investment spending. Understand and explain the aspects of the loanable funds market, which shows how savers are matched with borrowers. Explain the purpose of the four principal types of financial instruments: stocks, bonds, loans, and bank deposits. Explain how financial intermediaries help investors overcome the problems of high transactions costs, risk, and the need for liquidity. Analyze some competing views of what determines stock prices and why stock market fluctuations can be a source of macroeconomic instability. Chapter 27-28: Explain how the aggregate supply curve illustrates the relationship between the aggregate price level and the quantity of aggregate output supplied by the economy. Explain why the aggregate supply curve is different in the short run as compared to the long run. Explain how the aggregate demand curve illustrates the relationship between the aggregate price level and the quantity of aggregate output demanded in the economy. Understand and explain the importance of the multiplier. Illustrate how the AS-AD model is used to analyze economic fluctuations. Explain how the economy tends to self-correct in the long run. Explain how monetary policy and fiscal policy can be used to try to stabilize the economy in the short run. Understand the factors that cause the AD curve to shift to the right (non-change in price level). Chapter 29: Explain what fiscal policy is and why it is an important tool in managing economic fluctuations. Explain which policies constitute an expansionary fiscal policy and which constitute a contractionary fiscal policy. Explain why fiscal policy has a multiplier effect and how this effect is influenced by automatic stabilizers. Explain why tax and transfer multipliers are less than the government purchases multipliers.
