Question

Transcribed Image Text:(a) Because ideas are "non-rival" goods, inventors have little economic incentives to invent
since they cannot prevent others from copying their ideas. Do you agree? Discuss.
(b) In the real world there is evidence that economies tend to "converge conditionally" (that
is, there is "conditional convergence") but not that they tend to "converge absolutely"
(that is, there is no "absolute convergence“).
(c) In the Keynesian model, a sudden increase in money DEMAND causes a recession. Do
you agree? Explain using the IS/LM model
(d) Imagine that, instead of using the traditional assumption that "output is demand
determined" we assume that "output is determined by the short side of the market"
(that is, for interest rates for which supply is smaller than demand, output is
determined by supply; and for interest rates for which demand is smaller than supply,
output is determined by demand). Starting from a position of equilibrium between
demand and supply, what would be the effects of an increase in money supply?
