Improved methods of inventory control were supposed to reduce fluctuations in inventory stocks. It is clear that these methods have helped reduce the equilibrium inventory/sales ratios in both the manufacturing and trade sectors over the past decade. Yet we find that during the 2001 recession, inventory investment accounted for more than the total decline in real GDP, the first time that had happened since 1949. Explain whether this result is due to a set of odd coincidences, or whether the improved methods of inventory control actually caused bigger fluctuations in inventory investment relative to final sales.

- Select all statements from below that accurately describe shifts in the supply or demand of the Australian dollar (AUD): Group of answer choices American consumers increase their demand for stainless steel appliances, resulting in greater Australian exports of iron ore. This causes the demand curve for the AUD to shift to the right. Australian restauranteurs increase their imports of spices from India, shifting the supply curve of the AUD to the right. Temperatures in Japan rise, leading to a decrease in Australian wool exports to that nation. This causes the supply curve of the AUD to shift left. Senegal opens its markets to import Australian goat/sheep meat. This causes the demand curve of the AUD to shift left. Mongolian manufacturers switch their primary supplier of aluminum oxide from China to Russia, causing the supply curve of the AUD to decrease.arrow_forwardCOVID-19 has sent the economy of Classica into recession. The finance ministry has advised the government to lower stamp duty and other purchase service charges for those wanting to buy existing houses in order to boost economic growth. As well, the finance ministry wants the government to also cut company taxes as this will lead to firms increasing their level of investment in the economy. The President of Classica has asked you, as her chief economic advisor, for your views. Would a cut in stamp duty and other purchase charges on the purchase of existing houses really boost the economy?arrow_forwardSuppose that a new free trade agreement allows the economy to import cheaper goods from overseas, thereby decreasing the general price level.

- A closed economy was observed in two different years to be operating with levels of output at: (a) aggregate supply was equal aggregate demand for goods and services but planned domestic investment was greater than planned domestic saving ( b) aggregate supply was equal aggregate demand for goods and service but planned domestic investment was less than planned domestic saving. Use a diagram to explain the forces that would move the economy towards a stable equilibrium in each case.arrow_forwardMacroland is recognized as a high-income economy by the World Bank.

When interest rates are high, fewer people and businesses can afford to borrow. That lowers the amount of credit available to fund purchases, slowing consumer demand. At the same time, it encourages more people to save because they receive more on their savings rate. High-interest rates also reduce the capital available to expand businesses, strangling supply. This reduction in liquidity slows the economy and results in decrease in GDP. It is understood that the low-interest rates stimulate all types of real investments and thus economic growth. However, savings rates fall, when savers find they get less interest on their deposits, and thus they might decide to spend more. They might also put their money into slightly riskier but more profitable investments, which drives up stock prices. Based on this, it can be claimed that (especially high) interest rates are detrimental to economic growth as well as income…arrow_forwardUse the AE model to explain and show the impact of an autonomous fall in the value of goods exported to China by Australia. (You can assume the fall is constant across all levels of real GDP). Be sure to discuss in detail, the process by which this fall is transmitted through the economy. Now after this fall in exports is worked through, explain and show the impact of an autonomous fall (of lesser magnitude than for exports) in the value of goods imported by Australia from China. (You can assume, as before, that the size of the fall is constant across all levels of real GDP). Again, be sure to discuss in detail, the process by which this fall is transmitted through the economy.arrow_forward
- Emerging economiesEmerging economies that were growing rapidly, particularly Brazil and Russia, are both now in recession which means the income of the economy is shrinking. Commodity prices have played a considerable role in sending these economies into reverse, although this has been compounded by political developments in these countries.The previous major engine of global growth, China, has also seen its economy slowing. Although still growing at a brisk pace compared with mature western economies, by the double digit standards that China set for itself in past decades it Is unquestionably experiencing slower growth. This has happened at the same time as, and is related to, China rebalancing its economic growth model from reliance on exports and capital investment towards domestic consumption and services. One consequence of this has been lower demand for imported commodifies, which has been one factor depressing global prices, particularly in areas like metals.In contrast to…arrow_forwardThe country of Poundland produces an output of 100 units every year. The world interest rate is 5% per annum. Private consumption in Poundland totals 100 units every year, and there is neither investment nor government spending. In year 2200 the country is hit by a natural disaster so that its output falls to 79 units but is then expected to return to 100 units in every future year. The stock of Poundland’s net external wealth is zero at the start of 2200.
