Economics 291: Canadian Macroeconomic Policy

Tutorial Practice Questions

Give these questions to your students to work on during tutorial. Provide them with guidance on request, then have them grade each other's answers. Make sure the grading during tutorial is very demanding - it is better for students to be surprised with how easy our exam grading is than for them to be surprised with how difficult it is.

  1. No practice questions this week. Instead, review the basic material from ECON 105 about the money supply, CPI, inflation rate, nominal interest rate and real interest rate. Go into whatever detail you can manage in the short time available.
