1 Macroeconomics (Fall 2016) Quiz #2 Study Guide Note: Below is a list of study questions for the upcoming Quiz #2 (Tue., Nov 1). The quiz covers Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Chapter 8 and supplementary handouts/materials presented in class/website and during in-class participation exercises. Please answer the questions (all of them or as many as you can) as a way of preparing for your quiz. Many of the study questions here will appear in the quiz. (Some of them could also appear in a slightly different format than shown here.) Since you don t know which ones will be in the quiz, it would be a good idea to answer all of them. Please don t ask me for the answers although you can ask me for clarification of the questions. Also, there could be some other questions on the quiz that are not found on this list. The best way to use this study guide is to try to answer all the questions as best as you can on your own and then compare your answers with those of your classmates. Then discuss why your answers are different so that you learn the reason why. Form a study group if you can. Prof. Rudy Ledesma.
