equal to the marginal product of labour multiplied by the price of the product (MRPL = MPL(P) because in a competitive market MR = P) whereas the marginal revenue product for a monopoly is instead equal to the marginal product of labour multiplied by marginal revenue (Can also be written as MRP = MP(P) for a competitive output market and MRP = MP(MR) for a monopolistic output market). Also, in a competitive market, the MRP curve falls because the marginal product of labour falls (price does not cause
in the exchange rate – this can cause cost push inflation because it normally leads to an increase in the prices of imported products. For example during 2007-08 the pound fell heavily against the Euro leading to a jump in the prices of imported materials from Euro Zone countries. Cost-push inflation can be illustrated by an inward shift of the short run aggregate supply curve. The fall in SRAS causes a contraction of GDP together with a rise in the level of prices. One of the risks of cost-push inflation
government policy, however, the optimal rate of economic growth varies due to its impacts on unemployment and inflation. In a market economy, prices are determined by the interaction of demand and supply in the marketplace. Economic growth is primarily determined by the level of aggregate demand in the short term. Aggregate demand is made up of consumption, investment, government spending and net exports, (exports minus imports) (C+I+G+(X-M)). Through influencing the level of these components, many factors
tend towards full employment equilibrium in a long run situation – a conclusion that complements a Neoclassical ideology or perspective of capitalism as a market based organisation of society’s production, distribution and consumption. It can be argued, then, that although there are several examples of Neoclassical principles within the Neoclassical Keynesian synthesis, that the general acceptance of a general equilibrium situation in the long run is the defining Neoclassical feature. The paper will
Immigrants’ Labour Market outcome In Western Provinces Research Question: The main questions in this research paper address are what are the outcomes of immigrants’ labour market in western provinces?

the amount of a good that consumers are willing to buy at a given price, holding constant the other factors that influence purchases. The idea is simple. The cheaper the good is, the more willing the people are to buy it. Because of the law of demand, the demand curve has a downward slope. This example is not an exception as the units of accommodation are not the giffen/veblen goods! The quantity supplied is the amount of a good that firms want to sell at a given price, holding constant other factors

growth, and the latter tends to be more rapid than the former. Malthus’ principle appears to have held for the pre-industrial world for millennia. However, the industrialising capitalist countries of Europe experienced low population growth rates during the 20th Century, in spite of their high economic growth rates. Why did Malthus’ principle fail to apply in this case? Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) was a famous Economist, famous for his work on population growth, including “An Essay of the Principle
QUESTION 1 The demand for the apartments around that particular area will be relatively inelastic. When demand is relatively inelastic, a large amount of change in the price will still cause a small amount of change in the quantity. Assume that if there is a large amount of decrease in the price, it will only cause a small amount of increase in the quantity because the demand is relatively inelastic. Thus, the demand curve will be steeper. The factors that will cause the demand to be relatively
