Answer:
The correct answer is B. Decrease and transfer payments increase.
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers soften cyclic fluctuations through their effect on aggregate demand. Indeed, when the economy is in a contractive or recessive phase, the negative or very reduced economic growth generates a decrease in fiscal revenues while higher unemployment increases public expenditures. Consequently, private sector disposable income decreases less than GDP does, thus limiting the contractual effect on aggregate demand, growth and employment. Therefore, the budget balance worsens in this phase by stimulating the economy and facilitating economic recovery. In the opposite sense, in times of expansion, automatic stabilizers generate higher public revenues and lower spending, which allows to increase the public surplus - or reduce the deficit - avoiding excessive expansion that could have negative effects on cycle volatility and price stability.
The Department of Justice is not an example of an independent regulatory agency.
Answer:
In 1980
Explanation:
Year Salary Percentage Salary Increase CPI Increase
1970 $12,000 - -
1980 $24,000 100 50
1990 $36,000 50 83.3
As can be seen in the table, the Professor's salary increase from 1970 to 1980 was twice as much as the CPI increase during the same period.
On the contrary, his salary increase from 1980 to 1990 was significantly less than the CPI increase during the same period.
Therefore, the professor's salary was highest in 1980.
