Recall the Application about the U.S. “Locomotive Effect”: how U.S. growth affects
foreign economies and the demand for foreign products, to answer the following
question(s). From the early 1990s until quite recently, the U.S. economy grew faster
than the rest of the world, with its share of the world economy increasing from
approximately 26 percent in 1992 to over 32 percent in 2001. Because the U.S.
economy is such an important part of the world economy, its growth promoted growth
in foreign countries.According to this Application, as the U.S. economy grew from the
early 1990s, U.S. exports also increased as our demand for foreign products promoted
growth in foreign countries. This increase in exports would tend to
A) increase U.S. GDP and reduce unemployment in the short run.
B) increase U.S. GDP and increase unemployment in the short run.
C) decrease U.S. GDP and reduce unemployment in the short run.
D) decrease U.S. GDP and increase unemployment in the short run.
