Q1Domain Verified
In the context of a New Keynesian DSGE model, what is the primary mechanism through which a temporary increase in the nominal interest rate by the central bank leads to a reduction in real economic activity?
It causes an immediate and proportional increase in the real interest rate due to sticky prices.
It encourages households to save more due to higher returns, reducing current consumption.
It directly increases the cost of capital for firms, reducing investment.
It signals a future tightening of monetary policy, influencing long-term expectations.
Q2Domain Verified
A policymaker is evaluating a proposed carbon tax using a model with multiple market failures. The model includes a negative environmental externality from production and pre-existing distortionary taxes on labor income. According to the theory of the second best, what is a critical consideration for the policy's overall welfare effect?
The welfare gain from correcting the externality may be offset by the exacerbation of the pre-existing tax distortion.
The double dividend hypothesis guarantees that the policy will improve both environmental quality and economic efficiency.
The policy is only justified if the marginal social cost of carbon exceeds the marginal private cost.
The carbon tax revenue should be used exclusively to subsidize green technology to correct the externality.
Q3Domain Verified
In a principal-agent model with hidden action (moral hazard), what is the fundamental reason that the first-best outcome, where the agent bears no risk, is typically unattainable?
The agent has superior information about the state of the world before signing the contract.
The principal cannot observe the agent's effort, so a fixed wage provides no incentive to work hard.
The agent is inherently risk-averse while the principal is risk-neutral.
The output is a stochastic function of effort, making it impossible to infer effort from output perfectly.
