27) what would be most likely in the short run to cause an increase in a country's unemployment rate?

ans: a) an increase in its potential output.

Why is this so?
For increase in potential output, Investment has to increase, for which people will have to increase Savings instead of Consumption (Since increased savings would reduce interest rate, thus encouraging investors to borrow). This might cause decline in AD and thus decrease in output/ increase in unemployment in the short run.

Can someone please explain in summary keynes vs. monetarist?
Keynesians believe that:
- Markets do not clear and are slow to adjust, eg. labour market. This means the economy can settle in equilibrium below full employment, so cyclical or involuntary unemployment exists.
- the Government should intervene to stabilise the economy
-fiscal policy is more effective than monetary policy
- inflation is often cause by cost push factors

Monetarists believe that:
- that inflations is due to the money supply growing faster than output growth. Reducing the rate of growth of the money supply will lead to less inflation without more unemployment (in the long run)
- prices and wages change quite quickly. so the economy tends to move towards full employment
- inflation makes firms incompetitive, discourages investment, and so governments must control inflation. To do this they must control the money supply. Apart from this, the government should intervene very little.
- Markets adjust fairly quickly. An increase in the money supply amd therefore demand will lead to some fall in unemployment in the short run. Similarly, a sharp reduction in the money supply may cause unemployment in the short run.

the price elasticity of demend is already given and it is 1.5. now if price rises by 10 percent as a result of tax being imposed ,we will need to find out what is the percentage decrease in demand. so u form an equation x/10=1.5. x will be equal to 15. thus sales will decrease by 15% from 1000 units to 850 units. the government revenue will therefore be $1 times 850 times 10%. the answer is 85 B.
