Suppose that the annual rates of growth of real GDP of Econoland over a five-year period were sequentially as follows: 3 percent, 1 percent, -2 percent, 4 percent, and 5 percent. What was the average of these growth rates in Econoland over these 5 years? What term would economists use to describe what happened in year 3?
Following graph shows business cycle fluctuation in a hypothetical economy . " Y " denotes year , and " Q " denotes quarter . What do points A , B , C , and D denote ? Write at least a sentence each about what these points denote . Also , explain what represent the curve segments : A to B , B to C and C to D. Lastly , because economic activity fluctuates , how is long - term growth possible ?
Illustrate the transition of an economy to the steady state in a diagram, and explain it in words. Hint: Consider what would happen with capital per worker and output per worker if the economy was to the left or to the right of the steady state in a diagram.
If output rises by 35 percent while hours of work increase by 40 percent, has productivity increased or decreased? By how much?
Explain in detail and with the aid of graph how an economy starting at a level of capital per capita lower than steady state k* transitions to steady state equilibrium. Do the same for an economy starting at a level of capital per capita higher than steady state k*.
Let’s think about two countries, Frugal and Smart. In Frugal, people devote 50% of GDP to making new investment goods, so ?=0.5, and their production function is ?=?‾‾√. In Smart, people devote 25% of GDP to making new investment goods, so ?=0.25 and their production function is ?=2?‾‾√. Both countries start off with ?=100. a. What is the amount of investment in each country this year? Frugal: Smart:
The diagram below shows the economy growing at the Solow growth rate with Spending ( M + v) at 10% . Redraw the graph below and answer with a graph each of the following questions. Assume that prices are sticky. Note: you should redraw the ASAD graph below two separate times, once for part a, then again for part b—do NOT do give all your answers on one graph. One graph = zero points. Be sure to LABEL all changes (i.e. x axis, y-axis, intersections….) a. Show what happens if consumers and businesses become more optimistic about the economy—where is YA? where is the new PL? b. Once The Federal Reserve bank sees what happened in part a, she decides to fully reverse the effect in part a. by changing M. Illustrate what happens if she does her job just right
Suppose an economy begins in steady state. By what proportion does per capita GDP change in the long run in reponse to each of the following changes? Production function is Y=AK^1/3L^2/3 a.
