The simple multiplier, which applies to short-run situations in which the price level is constant, describes changes in Question 15 options: the equilibrium level of national income caused by changes in autonomous expenditure. the equilibrium rate of interest caused by changes in the demand for credit. investment induced by changes in equilibrium income. saving caused by changes in desired investment. employment induced by changes in equilibrium income.

Classical economists think general equilibrium is attained relatively quickly because the real wage rate adjusts quickly, the price level adjusts quickly, the real interest rate adjusts quickly, and the level of output adjusts quickly. QUESTION 26 The probable effect of introducing an increased number of automatic teller machines is to decrease money demand, shifting the LM curve down and to the right. QUESTION 27 You have just read that the Federal Reserve has increased the money supply to avoid a recession. For a given price level, you would expect the LM curve to shift up and to the left as the real money supply falls.

In the Keynesian system, increases in aggregate demand lead to increases in output because the money wage rises less than proportionately with the price level in response to such increases in demand. This condition is necessary because firms will hire more workers only if the real wage ( W / P ) falls. Explain the possible reasons why the money wage does not adjust proportionately with the price level in the short-run Keynesian model.
