Suppose the economy is producing at the natural rate of output. An increase in consumer and business confidence will cause _____
Leokris [45]

Answer:

d) no change; a decrease

Explanation:

The Real GDP (gross domestic product) is a macroeconomic term which is the measurement of the value of services and goods produced by economy in a certain or specific time period compared to normal GDP.  The influencer elements of Real GDP are very miscellaneous due to long run and short run periods. Then, the determinants which impact on the long run growth of an economy are:

1) Growth of productivity that means the ratio of economic outputs to inputs

2)Demographic changed that means the change of quantity or quality of employment, age structure and etc.

3)Labor Force participation which means that which amount participation there is in labor activities.

As seen above, the consumer and business confidence will not have any positive or negative effect on the real GDP.

Inflation is one of the most important macroeconomic indicator that intends the rate how the purchase power of the money is falling  by the rising on the price levels of goods and services. In long run, the most influencing element for inflation is the rate of money supply but if we consider business and consumer confidence are the positive things for the developing of GDP, then they will have a little bit decrease effect on inflation.

Countries are interconnected today as never before. From eating foods from different countries to singing along to songs perform
Nuetrik [128]
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings.  You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.

In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations.  However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.

I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in.  For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.

There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.

As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic.  We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.  

These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
