1. Suppose the Phillips curve is represented by the following equation: 7, -7, = 0.2- 2u, . Given this information, we know that the natural rate of unemployment in this economy is 2. In the following production function, Y = f(K,NA), a 20% increase in A will cause (labor / effective labor / output / output per worker) to increase by 20%?

2. Explain the key principles and policy implications of the neoclassical model of the labour market. Critically discuss whether the theory underlying the wage- setting curve is empirically sound.
c. According to the Keynesian theory, what would be the effect of the “A wave of investor and consumer pessimism about the future profitability of capital investments and lower future income” on output (Y), the real interest rate (r), employment (L) and the price level (P)? Distinguish between the short run and the long run effects by using the IS-LM-FE and AD-AS models and the effective labor demand theory.

Consider an economy with 150M residents. Of the 150M people there are: 20M under 16 80M employed people • 10M unemployed people a) What is the unemployment rate? 11.1 % b) What is the labor force participation rate? 69.2 For both answers round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. .0625 would be entered as 6.3%) %
Suppose the economy is self-regulating and the (actual) unemployment rate is less than the natural unemployment rate. This means that the economy is producing a level of output a. above its naturel level and will eventually cut back on output b. below its natural level and will eventually increase output c. below its natural level but no forces exist to automatically increase output d. above its natural level and institutional constraints will automatically be reduced so as to allow the economy to continue producing this level e. none of the above
Suppose that = 1° , and the Phillips curve equation for the economy is below: T = 4.5% - 0.2u, If inflation (T,) is 3.5%, then u, is 22.5 %. v tend to decrease If the actual unemployment rate in this economy is equal to 6%, the rate of inflation wi tend to increase be zero remain constant

Question 2 Assume that an economy is initially operating at the natural rate of output (full employment output). Use the AD-AS model to illustrate graphically the effects on price and output of a increase in government spending and an increase in the cash rate. Explain your assumptions with respect to the range of aggregate supply of your analysis. Question 3 Explain in detail the process of Monetary Policy transmission of an increase in the cash interest rate. Use relevant graphs to describe how a Central Bank's action on the interest cash rate ripple through the economy and lead to the target policy goal. (Three connected diagrams should…

Consider an economy that experiences an outflow of working age people and a decline in aggregatelabour supply as a result. Suppose the aggregate labour demand curve is not affected by this change.(a) Explain, with the aid of the labour-market-equilibrium diagram, how this will affect the equilibriumreal wage and the full-employment level of employment. (b) Explain, with the aid of three separate IS-LM-FE diagrams, how this will affect real output, realinterest rate and the general price level in three steps:(i) before the general price level adjusts;(ii) when the general price level is adjusting;(iii) after the price adjustment process is completed.Is the general price level increasing or decreasing during the price adjustment process? Explain theintuition of your answer with reference to the AD-AS framework.
