Find that its net exports are diminishedb. Find that its net exports are increased2. Holding everything else constant, when the rate of job separation increases this a. Results in the unemployment rate decreasing.b. Results in the unemployment rate increasing.c. Causes no change in the unemployment rate since the rate of job finding has not changed.3. When the rate of job finding decreases, holding everything else constant, this a. Results in the unemployment rate decreasing.b. Results in the unemployment rate increasing.c. Causes no change in the unemployment rate since the rate of job separation has not changed.4. In a model of a small, open economy the expression Y – C – G is equivalent to a. National Savingb.

False7. If the steady state rate of savings is too low, then the policymaker who successfully raises the saving rate will enact a policy thata.
