2 Name: 1. Due: Thursday 2 nd April 2015 by 4:30 p.m. General Instructions 2. Read and follow all instructions/directions carefully. An inability to follow instructions/directions will result in points being deducted. 3. All problems sets submitted must be stapled, handwritten, and include the cover page. 4. Only problem sets submitted in person and/or in class will be accepted. 5. Answer all questions in blue or black ink only; i.e., no pencils or colored inks. The only exception: graphs may be drawn in pencil. Note: use a guide of some sort (e.g., a ruler) for all graphs. Do not use white out or similar products, but neatly cross/scratch out any mistakes. 6. Write, mark, and draw your answers neatly and clearly. If your answer is illegible (i.e., difficult to read in the least), then it will not be graded. It is your job to clearly communicate. 7. Label all graphs fully and completely; i.e., axes, intersections, curves, etc. 8. Support your answers as thoroughly as possible; i.e., graphically, conceptually, and mathematically. Note: this may not be feasible or necessary for all questions asked. State and define any concept utilized and list and name any equation used. In other words, show all of your work. 9. Do not copy from another student. 10. Note: only use materials from this class, listed textbooks, and suggested resources to answer questions. The Google can be quite useful and tempting, but very often a question has been constructed in a very specific manner; i.e., using a certain set of assumptions. Another source may have a very similar problem, but with slightly different underlying assumptions that change the answer completely. This is typically not obvious and will likely leave you very confused. 11. For the True/False/Uncertain questions clearly indicate your choice by writing either True, False, or Uncertain underneath the respective question. Unless explicitly instructed otherwise, a justification is required to receive credit. 12. For the multiple choice questions, choose the best answer and mark the letter in the spaces provided at the bottom of the page. Only clearly written letters in the allocated space will be graded. 13. Assume the nominal wage is fixed in the short-run, all markets begin in long-run equilibrium, and capital stock is fixed in both the short-run and long-run except for negative shocks. For changes in the variables of interest, reference the initial level, unless instructed otherwise, in both the short-run and long-run. 14. Questions pertaining to the problem set will not be answered on the due date. Further, it is strongly recommended that any questions be asked in person. Original Score (%) Adjustment (%) Actual Score (%) 2
