- Suppose that currently, the South African economy is in an expansionary phase. The proposed “Exit tax” by the National Treasury would resemble which of the following macroeconomic schools of thought? a) Keynesian theory b) Classical theorists c) Marxist economics d) Monetarist economicsarrow_forwardSelect the answer that best describes Keynesian and Classical economic theories. Classical theory is useful for describing the long-run movement between economic equilibria while Keynesian theory is helpful to describe short-run movements in the price level. Classical theory suggests that the economy will quickly move between equilibria, eliminating the need for government intervention. Keynesian theory suggests that fiscal and/or monetary policy can be useful in counteracting changes in equilibria resulting from sticky prices and sticky wages. Keynesian theory suggests that tax cuts or direct government expenditure are ways to stimulate the economy while Classical theory suggests that only tax cuts provide useful stimulus. Classical and Keynesian theories both advocate for direct government intervention during recessions.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the impulse in the Keynesian business cycle A change by the Fed in the growth rate of the quantity of money An unexpected change in the growth rate of productivity An unexpected change in aggregate demand A change in expectations about the future sales and profitsarrow_forward
