(c) What can cause an increase in a country’s labor force? (d) Explain how different types of unemployment may be caused and consider which might be the most serious.

a. If the economy is currently at full employment, at what level should the central bank set the nominal interest rate? b. At what level should the central bank set the nominal interest rate if the economy is 20% below potential GDP? c. Explain the difference between the nominal interest rate and the real interest rate. Using these concepts of the nominal interest rate and the real interest rate explain how lenders can protect themselves from any negative effects of inflation if the inflation is fully anticipated.
Assume that a 1% change in the inflation rate causes a 1% increase in nominal interest rates, which in turn causes a 1% drop in real growth the following year. During the latter half of the 1990s, real growth averaged about 4%. Calculate how much inflation would have to increase for the following to happen, using Okun’s Law. (A) A 1% increase in the unemployment rate. (B) A big enough change to cause a ‘‘typical’’ recession, where real GDP declines 2%. (C) Suppose real growth slows down to 2½% because of a change in consumer and business sentiment. How much would the unemployment rate change each year?

The unemployment rate in this economy is 8.8 percent, and the labor force participation rate is 65 percent. i) What is the size of the labor force and working-age population? ii) How many people are unemployed? b: Explain and analyze different government policies which affect the unemployment rate in Pakistan? ( Maximum 200 words). c: Before June 2020, the labor market in Pakistan was at equilibrium with an equilibrium wage (WE) of Rs. 15,000 and equilibrium quantity of labor (LE) 10 million. In the last week of June, 2020, government of Pakistan imposed a minimum wage Act raising the minimum wage to Rs. 20,000. Using a graph, explain the effect of imposition of minimum wage on unemployment in labor market of Pakistan.
I just need assitance and a better understanding of 3 and mostly 4 1. Another economy has the production Y = A * K^0.5 * L^0.5, the marginal product MPL = 0.5 * A * K^0.5 / L^0.5, in which K = 144 and the supply of labor w = 5 * EP/P *L^0.5 Productivity is A=50. In absence of shocks and policies, EP/P=1, the number of jobs is L = 60, and wage is w = 38.73. But now inflation is slower than expected, with EP/P=1.2. Find the new equilibrium number of workers. 2. Find the new equilibrium wage at EP/P=1.2 3. Graph the change in the labor market equilibrium. Mark the before and after equilibria with E0 and E1. Label axes and curves, map relevant values onto axes. 4. Now let's consider this same scenario in terms of the accelerationist Phillips curve. The labor force is N=64. Find the rates of unemployment before and after as (N-L)/N and map them into our surprise inflation indexes, EP/P. Label the natural rate of unemployment, show the cyclical rate of unemployment.
