Answer to Question 1

If Youland is hit by a recession, its labor demand curve will shift to the left. Since wages are downwardly rigid, there will be a sharp fall in employment due to the recession. However, a countercyclical policy can partially reverse this situation by shifting the labor demand curve back to the right. The countercyclical policy will be more effective in this case than in the case of flexible wages because the full force of the expansionary policy will impact employment.

Answer to Question 2

B
