  • The question and answer will be published here so that everyone can see it (including your teacher!)

  1. Identify whether there is likely an increase or decrease in measured Australian GDP in the following scenarios, and discuss whether GDP is a ‘good’ measure of progress in each case:
    (i) a major increase in the extraction of coal to meet electricity demands of Chinese firms;
    (ii) a sharp rise in the amount of burglaries and professional criminal activities.

  8. Hello,

    I am very interested in learning the accounting behind a debt jubilee and why that would require a recapitalization of the central bank. For instance, if all consumer and private debt was forgiven, these would accrue as a loss to the banks who extended the loan and lower the asset side. Couldn’t the central bank just increase the bank’s reserves at the Fed and the banks could move that into cash onto their balance sheets? How would a debt jubilee flow through at the level of commercial banks and the central banks? Thanks!

  9. i have a question instead.
    Assume that the reserve requirement is equal to 10% and the household keeps 10% of their money holdings in cash. An increase in money supply(M1) by 100 000 means thus that the supply of currency(M0) must have increased by 10 000. Is it True or False.
    Please help.
