(c) An increase in international oil prices.
(d) Depreciation in the foreign exchange rate value of the economy's currency.

2. Many people find the current unemployment figures for Australia a bit unbelievable. Why is this? Why might the official statistics be inaccurate?
3. Using the simple Keynesian (J-W) model to assess the implications for equilibrium GDP and the level of savings of an increase in the savings function. What happens to the level of savings? What would happen to equilibrium income if there is a sustained rise in private investment spending?
4. State the difference between:
- Money multiplier and income expenditure multiplier.
- between the interest rate and the exchange rate
- Between the balance of payments deficit and the budget deficit
- between the trade deficit and net foreign debt
5. Assuming that the money market is initially in equilibrium, trace through the effects of a rise in the money supply on the money market on the interest rate and also on output, employment and the price level.
