Quiz #3 (Geog. 350 / 9th week)
Select ONE (1) of the following questions for a 10-minute answer:
- Briefly account for the principal analytical points made in Tiebout's
(Community Economic Base Study) chapter 6.
Check original source!
- How come that the direct coefficient table for the Holokuluku economy
(distributed in class)
has 10 rows but only 8 columns? Be specific and explicit!
Check Schaffer
reading [Holukuluku tables are "open" with respect to Imports (of
course!) and Households (not so "of course"!) What does this mean?]
- Is it important to distinguish between multipliers and multiplier
effects? Could it be that a large multiplier yields only a small
multiplier effect? Why or why not? Explain in detail.
Multipliers are multiplied by the respective "exogenous" variable
(normally exports) to arrive at the "total" (employment or income). If you
then deduct the
exogenous variable, you have isolated the "effects" which were created by
the multiplier.
Consequently, both the multiplier and the exogenous variable can be
independently large or small. In other words, the size of the multiplier
effect depends on both the size of the multiplier and the size of the
exogenous stimulus. [
