| danlan | since automatic stabilizer does not require any change in money supply or government spending or fiscal policy change, their effects are caused by the result of output (real GDP). |
| MattyBo | Tax rate remains the same because tax law is set. Tax revenue automatically increases because of growing real GDP. |
| thekid | 2 consecutive quarter Real GDP decrease leads to a recession and as Real GDP falls so does the real wages. So don't understand why 'b' is not a correct answer as well. |
| YOUCANDOIT | B is not correct b/c it is not stabilizing the economy. it is tricky since B is neither discretionary or automatic fiscal policy. |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
