Consider the data in the following table for 1969 and 1970 (where the values for real GDP and potential GDP are in 2009 dollars). a. In 1969 , actual real GDP was greater than potential GDP. Briefly explain how this is possible. b. Even though real GDP in 1970 was slightly greater than real GDP in 1969 , the unemployment rate increased substantially from 1969 to $1970 .$ Why did this increase in unemployment occur? c. Was the inflation rate in 1970 likely to have been higher or lower than the inflation rate in $1969 ?$ Does your answer depend on whether the recession that began in December 1969 was caused by a change in a component of aggregate demand or by a supply shock?

Which of the following is a true statement? Multiple Choice Economists who support economic growth say that it is the most practical route to the higher standards of living that the vast majority of people desire. Most economists believe that the recent rise in the average rate of productivity growth implies an end to the business cycle. Most economists believe that increases in real GDP actually produce decreases in overall economic well-being because of spillover costs. Mainstream economists disagree as to whether the rate of productivity growth was higher between 1995 and 2010 or between 1973 and 1995.
