Unit 3

1. Over the past 50 years, many countries have experienced an annual growth rate in real GDP per capita greater than that of the United States. Does this mean the U.S. is regressing relative to other countries? Does this mean that the U.S. real GDP will eventually be smaller than most countries? Explain.

2. How did the Industrial Revolution increase the rate of economic growth and income levels in the United States?

Unit 4

1. Are all people over 18 who are not working counted as unemployed by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics? Explain.

2. Is the decrease in the unemployment rate always a good thing? Explain.

3. Is zero unemployment a desirable outcome? Explain.

Unit 5

1. Why does “substitution bias” arise if the inflation rate is calculated based on a fixed basket of goods?

2. Identify several parties likely to be helped and hurt by inflation. Explain how they are helped or hurt.

3. Who in an economy is the big winner from inflation? Explain.

Module 2

Unit 1

In your view, is the economy currently operating in the Keynesian, intermediate, or neoclassical portion of the economy’s aggregate supply curve? Explain.

2. If households decide to save a larger portion of their income, what effect would this have on the output, employment, and price level in the short run? What about the long run?

Unit 2

What is a recession? How is it defined? If Keynes were alive today, how do you think he would advise President Obama to move the U.S. economy out of a recession? What would be your advice?

Unit 3

1. What is the difference between rational expectations and adaptive expectorations?

Presently, in California and nationally a significant issue is being re-addressed: family leave. A young mother working at a company with a fairly generous family paid leave policy just sent a letter to President and Mrs. Obama. Her situation was that at three months of age, her new baby had to go to daycare so the new mother could return to work, her leave having expired. The first day she left her baby reluctantly at the chosen daycare, her three-month old mysteriously died. Besides now trying to deal legally with the daycare facility, the new mother is now seriously advocating for a national policy on paid family leave which will allow new mothers and fathers at least 6 months—1 year paid leave to nurse their new infants before having to return to work. Mrs. Obama has joined in that advocacy.

Most corporations in the USA do not grant paid family leave currently, and states do not generally require it. Current federal legislation suggests it, but does not require it either, although virtually every other developed Western country does.

1. Is this an issue of human/natural rights or civil rights in the U.S.A.?

2. What part of the U.S. Constitution do you think best applies in this situation?

3. Currently, what federal and California state laws apply to paid family leave?

4. If you were to become involved in advocating for the change in the laws sought by the young mother, how would you participate?

5. Is this a valid public policy issue that should be addressed by the candidates now in the running to be the next U.S.A. president? Why or why not?

6. Is this a generic issue or one that would impact white families differently than blacks or Latinos/as?
