LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: True.

A budget deficit occurs when <u>expenditures exceed revenue</u>. The government collects revenue mainly in the form of taxes. If the government spends more in a year than the money it has collected, it has a budget deficit. The difference needs to be obtained by borrowing money, normally in the form of government bonds.

If the government has budget deficits in separate years without being paid off, these start to accumulate. The accumulation of this borrowed money is what is called the national debt.

In an experiment, Lee Ross set up a simulated quiz game. He randomly assigned some Stanford University students to play the role

Shalnov [3]

Answer: the contestants and observers thought the questioners were more knowledgeable than the contestants.

Explanation: Ross et al published a paper in the journal of personality and social psychology in 1977 titled

"Social Roles, Social Control, and Biases in Social-Perception Processes". They demonstrated that our actions and perceptions are determined by roles we have to play in interpersonal encounters; this is the biasing effect social roles have on performance.

In this instance the observers and the contestants perceived the questioners as having superior knowledge as the questioners were given latitude in how they frame the questions. Due to their social roles, the questioners were "the powerful" while the contestants and observers were "the powerless" playing out their roles and not taking into account the biasing effect.

If the roles were switched around, the outcome would still be the same with each group irrespective of their actual ability and knowledge.

what is the effect of the decrease in demand for U.S. exports on the trade deficit? A) It has had no impact on the trade deficit

Tasya [4]

The correct answer is - D) It has contributed to a negative balance of trade.

The decreasing demand for US exports has had a negative effect on the trade deficit. This kind of situation results in an ever growing imbalance of trade, as the home made products are becoming less demanded, while the importing of goods and products is increasing, constantly making the trade deficit bigger.

That can eventually lead to an economic collapse, economic crisis similar to the Great Depression, as the country will not be able to work in that way forever. The GDP, both the nominal and the per capita, will suffer because of that, which will cause lot of unrest and opposition from the general public.
