Answer:
affect nominal but not real variables. This view that money is ultimately neutral is consistent with classical theory.
Explanation:
This idea is held by classical economists (not by most economists) since they believe in the quantitative theory of money:
MV = PQ
- M = quantity of money
- V = velocity of money
- P = price level
- Q = quantity of goods
Classical theory was abandoned 90 years ago (according to classical theory, recessions were not possible and couldn't exist, but then the Great Depression came and the impossible became true). Neo-classical or monetarists appeared in the 1960s, and lately, neo-neo-classical appeared with George W. Bush. The problem with the quantitative theory is that it needs the following things to be true in order to hold, and empirical evidence over the last 90 years showed that none of them are true:
- the velocity of money has to be constant (AND IT IS NOT CONSTANT)
- real output is independent on money supply (NOT TRUE)
- causation goes from money to prices (MODERN ECONOMISTS BELIEVE IT IS THE OTHER WAY)
Answer:
b. inputs and quantity of output
Explanation:
A production function is a relationship between inputs and the quantity of output. In other words, it is the entire production process that goes into creating a product. This includes the specific materials that need to be inputted into the process in order for the output to be exactly as needed in order for the product to come out as desired and the right quantity. Thus, creating a relationship between input and output
The opportunity cost of studying economics for one hour in this context would be: <span>Watching two half-hour TV sitcoms
Opportunity cost refers to something that you have to sacrifice everytime one alternative is chosen. When the time is spent to study economics, the time available for you to watch tv will be gone.</span>
