According to the Malthusian model, the fall in the population due to the bubonic plague would have led to an increase inthe average productivity of workers, causing the observed rise in the real wage post-plague.O b. The doubling and halving of the real wage index over 250 years from around 1350 cannot be explained by the Malthusianmodel.O C.

What is frictional unemployment? Give examples of frictional unemployment.
While unemployment is highly negatively correlated with the level of economic activity, in the real world it responds with a lag. In other wands, firms do not immediately lay off workers in response to a sales decline. They wait a while before responding. Similarly, firms do not immediately hire workers when sales pick up. What do you think accounts for the lag in response time?
Why is there unemployment in a labor market with flexible wages?
What is structural unemployment? Give examples of structural unemployment.
Why does substitution bias arise if we calculate the inflation rate based on a fixed basket of goods?
Is it desirable to eliminate natural unemployment? Why or why not? Hint: Think about what our economy would look like today and what assumptions would have to be met to have a zero rate of natural unemployment.
Does a gap between the average earnings of men and women, or between whites and blacks, prove that employers are discriminating in the labor market? Explain briefly.
