2007, Question 1 · 12 points
Falling stock prices and the dollar
Graph the money market after investors move into cash, show how a lower US price level changes the market for dollars, then follow the exchange rate change to net exports, AD, output, prices and unemployment.
This exam had three free-response questions with a 10 minute planning period and 50 minutes of writing, and students were told to spend about half the time on Question 1 and split the rest evenly between Questions 2 and 3. The current exam has 3 free-response questions in 60 minutes. The skills these questions practice still count.
