The class schedule will remain as it is now.

1 out of 2 Problem Solving questions (4-part) 20 marks
For MCQ part, all chapters (5-15) are more or less equally weighted.
For T/F/U questions you can expect one question from monetary policy, one from
fiscal policy, one from the net export effect in the context of either
monetary policy or fiscal policy and one from the long-run adjustments of the
economy from a situation of demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation or
recession. The rest two of the T/F/U questions can be anywhere from the book.
I announced it in today's 2nd Exam Review Class.
Problem solving questions will be of two types - C1 of Assignment # 5 qand
problem solving question based on aggregate expenditure model. I posted an
example of the latter type on the course webpage. Click on 'lecture Notes for
2nd exam review Class' above.
In today's review class, I gave two hand-outs to the students. One hand-out
has the answer to T/F/U questions to assignment 6. The second hand-out has the
answer to a numerical problem, which is posted on the web (click on 'lecture
notes of 2nd exam review class'). You can collect
these hand-outs from my office door (JOR A625B) .
Good luck with your exam!
